Hollywood a GoGo The True Story of The Cannon Film Empire The book "Hollywood a GoGo The True Story of The Cannon Film Empire" tells the story of how Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, two Israeli film producers, revolutionized the American film industry in the 1970s and 1980s with their innovative and low-budget films. The authors delve into the history of the Cannon Group, which was founded by Golan and Globus in 1968, and how they went from producing low-budget B-movies to becoming one of the most influential studios in Hollywood. The book explores how the duo's unconventional approach to filmmaking, combined with their business acumen, helped them to achieve success despite the odds being against them. They were able to produce over 400 films, including "Deathsport," "Bloodsport," and "Missing in Action," which became cult classics and grossed millions of dollars at the box office. One of the key aspects of the book is the focus on the technological evolution of the film industry during this period. The authors highlight how the introduction of new technology, such as video recorders and home video, changed the way people consumed movies and how it impacted the industry.
