Episode 107 - Season 07 Wrap-Up!

Welcome to 2022!

For our first episode of the year, we present to you our season finale for season 7! It was a long road to get here where we covered a lot of films this year. In 2021, we actually covered more movies in a year than we ever have before. Because of that, we decided to split our Non-Cannon movies off into another episode that will be up next week. Today, it's Cannon only!

We once again want to thank you for tuning is for over four years, and hope you'll stick with us to the bitter end. It's been a long road, and we've still got some ground left to cover. Thanks for sticking around through 2021.

Here's to a great new year!

Up Next: Non-Cannon Wrap-Up!

Episode 103 - American Cyborg: Steel Warrior (1993)

Welcome back to our regularly scheduled episode of Cannon Cruisers! This week we go over an overlooked flick from 1993, clearly inspired by many action films of the 1980s. That would be the nearly forgotten American Cyborg: Steel Warrior!

Oddly enough, despite the clear problems with budget and the script, the film manages to be a surprising amount of fun of the type that was dying out by the time Cannon put this out in the early '90s. Watching it now actually makes it feel a bit out of date for the time it came out. Fortunately, however, that helps it to stick out.

It might not be a masterpiece, but it is a good time for those who enjoy action flicks of this caliber. Definitely check it out if it sounds like your cup of tea.

Episode 101 - No Place to Hide (1993)

Welcome back! Today we take a gander at weird attempt at a thriller that doesn't quite work. Though Cannon's movies have been surprisingly consistent in this latter days, this one has all the hallmarks of an undercooked project. It just doesn't work.

This is one of those movies that starts out with promise but somehow manages to take every turn down the wrong road when it has the chance to be a much better project than the results end up being. As such, it's just not a good watch. Just as with every episode, click the full episode to see just why we weren't impressed with this one.

Episode 100 - Street Knight (1993)

It's been 100 episodes, can you believe it? Counting our Non-Cannon episodes and specials we have actually covered well over 100 movies by now, but this is the main series. Four years kater we never would have expected making it this far.

Street Knight isn't the most exciting movie to make our 100th episode, but it's a solid action flick with some great scenes worth seeing. Unfortunately, we all more or less know Jeff Speakman's story, which sabotaged his career in the field. Nonetheless, this is his second best movie and worth seeing after The Perfect Weapon. you might be surprised at how enjoyable it is. We were. 

In fact, we were expecting this batch of Cannon to be the worst we've covered, but they aren't really. Odd how that worked out. Who would have thought Cannon Films of all studios would be the one to maintain quality standards for so long? Either way, check out the episode above for our full thoughts on Street Knight for our 100th episode!

Thanks for listening these last four years, and hopefully you'll stick around as we head into 2022. We've still got more Cannon to cover, after all!
