Actually, 21 of these 29 films (or almost three-quarters) actually *did* get made…eventually: Over the Top - yes, in 1987. Earned $16.1 million. La Brava - no. Dustin Hoffman dropped out of the project. Superman 4 - yes, in 1987. It was flop, earning only $15.7M. (untitled John Travolta project) - no. Travolta wouldn’t make another movie until “The Experts” in 1989. Spider-Man - no. Cancelled. Kick and Kick Back - yes, in 1992 as “Sidekicks”. 52 Pick Up - yes, in 1986. OK reviews, earned $5.2 million. (untitled Roman Polanski project) - Yes! “Pirates” came out in 1986 and immediately bombed, earning only $1.6M on a $40M budget. Masters of the Universe - yes, in 1987. Earned $17.3M...the most of any movie on this list! Housekeeping - yes, in 1987. Made only $1.1M. Street Smart - yes, in 1987. Got good reviews (especially for Morgan Freeman, in his breakout role) but made only $1.1M. Duet for One - yes, in 1986. Based on a British play, got good reviews, earned $8,736 (not a typo). Rumplestiltskin - yes, in 1987. Billy Barty’s only lead role in a motion picture. Number One With a Bullet - yes, in 1987. Earned $410,952. Zorba, the Musical - No. A hit on Broadway in 1968 and revived in 1983, but the film never happened. The White Slave - No. Cancelled. Journey to the Center of the Earth - yes, in 1989. Albert Pyun finished it. Awful. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - yes, in 1986. Earned $8M, now a cult classic. American Ninja 2 - yes, in 1987. Subtitled “The Confrontation”, earned $4M. Captain America - yes, in 1990, by another studio. Tough Guys Don't Dance - yes, in 1987. Norman Mailer directed, based on his book. Earned $343,000 on a $5-10M budget. North South - yes, in 1988 as “Powaqqatsi”. Earned only $589, 244. King Lear - yes, in 1987. Directed by Jean-Luc Godard (!) and based not all on Shakespeare’s play. Earned $61,821. Citizen Joe - no, sadly. Cannon promised a sequel to the original “Joe” as early as 1980 (“Joe II”), but it was never made. Too Much - yes, in 1987. Filmed in Japan with a mostly Japanese cast, about a little girl and her robot. Box office unknown. Give a Girl a Break - no. Intended as the film debut of the Dolly Dots, a Dutch all-female rock band, who had many hits in Europe but none in the US. Sinbad of the Seven Seas - yes, in 1989. Filmed in Italy, box office negligible. It Ate Cleveland - no. Intended as a spoof; originally titled “Godzilla vs. Cleveland”. River of Death - yes, in 1989. The director was later fined for shooting in South Africa. Ben, Bonzo and Big Bad Joe - yes, in 1988 as “Goin’ Bananas”.

I'm completely floored that Canon films were the ones who produced Godard's King Lear. People like it better now... but he was years into his "I'm not telling stories anymore," phase and American critics were not having it.

@CanalPSG Ай бұрын

On Give a Girl a Break: Wikipedia says: "In the summer of 1986, the five remaining Dolly Dots finally went to the US to work with an unfinished script and made a movie called Dutch Treat, which was released later that year. The movie (starring Lorin Dreyfuss and David Landsberg) and its soundtrack were modest successes in The Netherlands but were not released in the US due to poor reviews." Since Lorin Dreyfuss (Richard's less famous brother) and David Landsberg are in both productions,this must be about the same movie.

@rareimer Ай бұрын

@@jcrowellz2000 Except that they did do that at least once, with the Charles Bronson vehicle 10 TO MIDNIGHT. This was another "poster first" movie, with the idea being that Bronson would play a CIA agent out to stop a band of terrorists who had stolen a nuclear weapon. (The title referred to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists's Doomsday Clock, indicating how close the world is to nuclear war.) Golan & Globus found that investors were cool to that idea, but they did generally like the idea of another movie with Bronson running around with a gun. The result was that enough money came in to make simply canceling the project unpalatable, but not enough to turn actually making the movie into a priority. The solution G & G came up with was to transfer the investors's money to an entirely unrelated project, one that could be summarized as "Dirty Harry vs. Ted Bundy," make Bronson the star of that, and call that 10 TO MIDNIGHT--without, however, making any effort to explain the new title.

YES! I was about to post something similar. I think the reason why is that both are narrated by the exact same voiceover artist: the late great Don LaFontaine. Which makes it all the more hilarious, because it means he was willing to parody himself, his work, and the shlock he sometimes had to pitch; but at the same time it is very hard to tell the difference between the two; in this instance, the parody had higher production values than the real thing!

I don't know that it would have started a wave per se. It would have been running concurrently with the not quite discontinued Christopher Reeve Superman movies and perhaps coming out at about the same time as Batman. Just hard to predict whether it would have kicked off a boom or just expanded what amounted to a series of one-offs where an incredibly well-known and established property found its niche but didn't carry anything else over.

@johnpenguinthe3rd13 24 күн бұрын

It's seriously difficult to predict how well a live action 1987 Spider-man film would have done. The late 1970's Spider-man TV series wasn't a hit due to it being very low budget combined with how they couldn't use any of the super villains from the comics (granted, that goes back to the severe lack of budget). I mention this because according to various multiple sources, the 1987 Spider-man film would have suffered the same exact fate. Allegedly, they were NOT going to have any of the super villains from the comics due to lack of budget. They were going to create some mad scientist named Dr. Zork (a normal human scientist) as the villain and Spider-man would have spent a portion of the film transformed into his "Man-Spider" persona (the few times in the comics where Spider-man briefly mutates into a Spider humanoid thing) before becoming Spider-man for a short while. I think most of the film was going to be just Peter Parker due to the budget (or rather, lack of budget). Cannon films was having a lot of problems with their movie budgets (one of the reasons Masters of the Universe and Superman 4 had lower budgets than expected). HOWEVER... I heard from one source they wanted to use Dr.Octopus (I really like that villain, but the lack of budget would have made the arms almost impossible to do without looking lame) or Green Goblin (maybe they could have reused the Green Goblin costume from the Atari 2600 Spider-man commercial. To be fair, that costume and the actor playing Green Goblin in that Atari 2600 Spider-man commercial was pretty cool) but most evidence points to the lame Dr.Zork with Man-Spider scripts. Personally, Green Goblin (specifically the Green Goblin from the Atari 2600 Spider-man commercial) for the 1987 Spider-man film (maybe slightly modified so a bigger name actor could play the role) would be the only way the film would stand a chance. It's a costume and villain that would have worked even with a low budget (it worked well for that Atari 2600 Spider-man commercial and that had a very low budget). With the Atari 2600 looking Green Goblin, the 1987 Spider-man film could have been successful. However, No way the 1987 Spider-man film becomes successful with that Dr.Zork stuff (it would flop harder than the 1990's Captain America film). Sadly, evidence points to the Dr.Zork stuff being what they were going to do.

I grew up with Cannon but didnt know their fantastic story until many years after they shut down. If you guys ever see that documentary you will learn all the wonderful details. I think its called "Electric Boogaloo".

Spiderman already had a trilogy in the 70s, those movies were also related to the tv show from that time. Also, don't forget about Japanese Spider Man

Batman as a movie series is very old. 1943 was the year the first Batman was released. Batman and Robin came out in 1949.

@@VideoTasties Actually this was after Pirates had come out. Supposedly they were trying to get the rights to the Chinatown sequel The Two Jakes. Edit: I should say, after Pirates was picked up by them for distribution. Maybe its failure also had something to do with another film not happening.

Movies like Too Much, where the plot of the movie tends to take a back seat to the "exotic" setting, used to be fairly common. Viewers were expected to be distracted by unfamiliar foreign sights and "those wacky foreigners and their weird ways" and not notice the thinness of the plot and whatever major problems it might have.
