Whatever happened to Cannon Films?

[SpinDoctor91]

@poolboyinla

they went bankrupt.

[poolboyinla]

@SpinDoctor91 Guess they made some bad decisions.

[SpinDoctor91]

@poolboyinla

i don't think it was the bad decisions really,it was just that movies were changing.the type of films Canon were making weren't as popular anymore.

[poolboyinla]

@SpinDoctor91 That could be. The types of movies that are in fashion have changed greatly from those days. These were the types of movies that inspired me to work in the industry, but by the time I grew up and went through film school and started working in the industry, the world had changed and moved on.

@poolboyinla

i agree,movies like Bloodsport and actors like Van Damme who is one of my favriotes started me working out and taking karate.the run and gun high action type films were becoming dated.that's why Canon went under i feel.they were still making cool movies,they just weren't as popular as they once were.

[GodsBurden]

@SpinDoctor91 It wasn't just exploitation films becoming less popular, it was the landscape of movies entirely. Part of the reason was also DVDs coming in making owning a movie even cheaper than ever rather than renting a movie at a blockbuster. People now want to see movies with gigantic budgets and big glitz and glamour. There were also a ton of issues with them snatching licenses, not paying the stars or producers or staff.... Lots of factors as to why cannon died off.

[SpinDoctor91]

@GodsBurden

yes i agree i knew that the changing of the times wasn't the only reason Canon died but i knew that was one of the major reasons it did.

[SpinDoctor91]

@GodsBurden

i have always loved Canon.they were one of my favirote film companies.

[poolboyinla]

@SpinDoctor91 I was just going to upload a video where I talk about meeting Van Damme.

[SpinDoctor91]

@poolboyinla

wow cool that is awesome! Van Damme is my idol! i am a huge fan.i can't believe you met him,i wish i have.

[poolboyinla]

@SpinDoctor91 He used to be one of my idols too.

[SpinDoctor91]

@poolboyinla

used too? what happened? just got older? well he still is mine,even though im older now he still holds that special place in my heart you know.

[poolboyinla]

@SpinDoctor91 Yeah, it's pretty much just that. I got older and just saw things for what they really are. It is part of growing up. I don't know him personally, but he seems to be a pretty messed up dude. He was just really good at making extremely entertaining movies.

[SpinDoctor91]

@poolboyinla

yeah i agree,Van Damme is far from perfect.i know what he does is most all movies but i still am a fan,he changed my life and my viewpoint on alot of things.i am very grateful for what he has did for movies,martial arts,and cinema and how he changed my outlook on things.that will never change.
