From acclaimed cult-film documentarian Mark Hartley (Not Quite Hollywood) comes Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films. It's an off-road cinematic rampage through the masterworks of Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus – two movie-obsessed Israeli cousins who became Hollywood's ultimate gatecrashers.

Following their own skewed version of the Great American Dream, they brought an already low-rent brand – Cannon Films – and 'flushed' into theatres more than 120 films (including Death Wish II, Breakin' Invasion USA and Masters of the Universe) showcasing ninjas, nudity, creaky monosyllabic action heroes, threadbare plots, unintentional humour and accidental moments of near-genius.

With hair-trigger randomness, these cousins of chaos churned out a breathtaking cavalcade of hits and misses, made movies out of posters, released a sequel before the original film, botched plots, bounced cheques and burned careers – and in doing so changed the way movies were made and marketed.

Strap yourselves in and join a host of Cannon Films' survivors (including Bo Derek, Molly Ringwald, Dolph Lundgren and Richard Chamberlain) for a hilarious thrill ride through the bowels of Hollywood's least-loved indie film studio – where quality was a happy accident!

Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films is rated M for violence, nudity, sex and coarse language.
