Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films Ratings & Reviews

  • Rick FoxJuly 16, 2025
    My all time favorite documentary. A fun trip down memory lane, exploring the films of my childhood.
  • RyezooFebruary 20, 2025
    Really entertaining documentary that showcased the absurdity of these two Israeli movie directors. So many of the films that were showcased I now feel the need to see them and added them to my watch-list. The people that discussed the movie were insightful and funny. Watching the film company grow and grow until its complete self destruction turned out to be a lot of fun.
