Leave your thoughts about Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films.
| Little White LiesKatherine McLaughlinKudos has to be given to Hartley for lifting the lid on a host of bad practices and making an honest documentary that could so easily have been turned into a juvenile exercise in macho backslapping. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonClip shows like this are always fun for die-hard movie buffs (including critics), especially in a case like this, when the clips are much more potent than the completed films. |
| Seanax.comSean Axmaker[Mark] Hartley may be irreverent in his approach, but it's clear that he loves this stuff. Electric Boogaloo (which gets its name from one of Cannon's own films) shares that love with the rest of us. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo Perez'Electric Boogaloo' is often a deeply entertaining and amusing romp through the annals of trash cinema history. At least initially. Even at a fairly routine 105 minutes, the doc begins to wear out its welcome with its repetitive style and narrative. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoIt isn't a bad thing Hartley's main concern is with having a good time, but there seems to be less attention to detail when it comes to the overall structure. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanEntertaining (more so than most Cannon films), but also insightful about bizarre strands of 1980s film history. |
| Daily Record (UK)David EdwardsIt's a hilarious, couldn't-make-it-up journey into one of film's strangest chapters. |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoThe documentary assembles a riveting barrage of anecdotes from assorted colleagues to convey the glory, chaos and legacy of Cannon Films. |
| VarietyScott Foundas"Electric Boogaloo" doesn't tell its story from A to Z, but rather in a digressive, choral fashion that privileges outrageous personal anecdotes over dry historical chronologies. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyElectric Boogaloo is required viewing for connoisseurs of trash cinema, even if none of the films included are anywhere near as good as it is. |
