The Cannon Years: A Tribute to Golan-Globus

Here is a tribute to Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus and some of there great films. The Cannon Group was the biggest film company in the 1980's and did not deserve what it got. Golan and Globus are fantastic filmmakers and their style will be sorely missed. They made some films that are considered classics today such as "Missing In Action" starring Chuck Norris and "Death Wish 3" starring Charles Bronson.

Here are some great Cannon sites:

Music: "Communion" (1989) end credits theme composed and performed by Alan Clarke. I feel the gentle, yet awesome guitar work sets the right mood.
