And even the financial missteps (MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, the SPIDER-MAN/CYBORG fiasco) resulted in some wildly entertaining fare.<br /><br />Anon.,<br /><br />I hadn't seen 10 TO MIDNIGHT for a long time, but finally have remedied that grievous error. I hope to write a proper review of it sometime soon, but am sorta behind on my backlog. I want to do it justice!Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-88286539687007793232014-08-23T21:24:16.902-04:002014-08-23T21:24:16.902-04:00Excellent tribute, sir.

I know a lot of their decisions didn't always pay off financially (Masters of the Universe for instance) but I hope that Golan took so solace in the fact he produced some kick-ass films that have endless rewatchability.Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-43741360662695858132014-08-19T14:28:51.089-04:002014-08-19T14:28:51.089-04:00John,

A...John,<br /><br />Thank you, sir– and enjoy STREET SMART!<br /><br /><br />Austin,<br /><br />Indeed! And for some reason I assumed he was younger when the 80s rolled around– it's hard to imagine that the glittery exuberance of THE APPLE (1980) came from the mind of a 51 year old.<br /><br /><br />Roderick,<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words. He really did have a hell of a run.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-24382996884749084112014-08-19T13:23:24.943-04:002014-08-19T13:23:24.943-04:00That's a helluva roundup and tribute there.

From the time I was 6 or 7 and somehow convinced my parents to repeatedly check out "Revenge of the Ninja" for me, to this very day when I annoy my wife with my incessant playing of "Bloodsport" on repeat as I stay up too late reading blogs and playing old NES games, Golan and Co. have probably given me more movie joy than literally all other filmmakers combined! Thanks for the excellent tribute here today and all over this site on all the other days, too.Mike B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18002724434110207883noreply@blogger.com
