Cannon Films (4204 words)
Globus said this in 1987 when the Cannon Group took a $25 million cash payment from Warner Bros. in exchange for some of its video assets, in a move designed to prop up the company: "Our only crime is that we love cinema.
Globus announced Lambada for a release on May 4, 1990; he took a Stand and Deliver rip-off script he had sitting around and commissioned the screenwriter to add a lambada element to it.
Globus filed a complaint with the MPAA several weeks before the films came out over the use of the word lambada in Golan’s advertising copy; the MPAA ruled that Golan did have the right to use the word, just not in the film’s title.
Golan and Globus | www.somethingjewish.co.uk (531 words)
If you were a cinemagoer in the 70s and 80s, chances are you would have come across the Israeli filmmaking duo Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, founders of Cannon Films, at some point.
Menahem Golan was born Menahem Globus in 1929 in Tiberias, Israel, to Polish parents, and spent some time in the Israeli air force (changing his name to Golan in 1948 for ‘patriotic’ reasons) before the arts world came calling.
Initially he worked as a theatre director before going into business with Yoram Globus (his younger cousin, born in Tiberias in 1941); their first film, El Dorado, was produced in 1963.
