Product Description THE INCREDIBLY TRUE STORY ABOUT MENAHEM GOLAN & YORAM GLOBUS' CANNON FILMS AND THE MOVIE STUDIO THAT DEFINED THE 1980's THE GO-GO BOYS: THE INSIDE STORY OF CANNON FILMS is a documentary about two Israeli-born cousins, Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, who in pursuit of the American Dream, turned the Hollywood power structure upside down, producing over 300 films and becoming the most powerful independent film company in the world. Directed by Sundance Grand Jury Prize nominee Hilla Medalia (After the Storm), The Go-Go Boys is an up close and personal documentary that examines the complex relationship between two contradictory personalities whose combined force fueled their success and eventual collapse. Featuring interviews with Jean-Claude Van Damme, Michael Dudikoff, Eli Roth, Boaz Davidson along with Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus themselves, as well as archive footage of Sylvester Stallone, Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris in the definitive documentary about Cannon Films. SPECIAL FEATURES: Original Theatrical Trailer Reversible Artwork Collectible Mini-Poster Review Loaded with clips from the first cousins’ generally tacky library of films, Hilla Medalia’s documentary will serve to those who were around during Cannon Films’ 1980s heyday as a fun reminder of some high-flying low-brow times and will prove amusing to younger viewers with a retroactive soft spot for Chuck Norris and Charles Bronson at their most archetypal. --Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter A solid celebration of Menahem Golan, Yoram Globus and their famous filmmaking empire… Both an affectionate tribute and a cautionary tale, “The Go-Go Boys” is a solid documentary. --Alissa Simon, Variety The Go-Go Boys presents a fascinating portrait that goes beyond the films and tells an enthralling story of two men who grasped the American Dream in all four hands. They may not have always been working towards something that was really worth the effort, but whatever they did, they did it with passion. --Craig Skinner, Film Divider
