| 2007 | Article | Silvervix | @Vapor: Yeah, I thought the same when I was typing up but, since the show actually uses different styles to portray the matches AND the regular episodes, I took the chance to praise those sequences as well :P Good tip though! | Feb 17, 2015 |  | |
| 2008 | Article | jkatz | Sounds like the show really left an impression on you! I can relate, a few years ago I bought the complete boxed set of Batman: The Animated Series and was finally able to watch full episodes after years and years of relying on vague memories from when I was little of how good it was. | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2010 | Article | Vaporman87 | @jkatz: So much of what Batman is to us today was culled from that one series. That's a testament to its impact on fans. | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2012 | Article | Silvervix | @jkatz: It left a really great impression on me. At first I wasn't even motivated to track it down, but when I saw episode 1 again, everything became more clear. I was too lucky to even get to see the episodes I saw when I was little, because otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to watch this. | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2057 | Article | 83.0b.et | Approved! | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Mar 01, 2015 | |
| 2022 | Article | echidna64 | Excellent idea for an article! Thank you for some interesting tidbits of film history! Orion films would also be worthy of consideration! | An Ode to Cannon Films | Feb 18, 2015 | |
| 2023 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ahhh. Golan and Globus. Favorite targets of MST3K. Great article jkatz. The story of Golan and Globus is SO much like that of John DeLorean that you might think they were related somehow. Big dreams, taking it all the way to the big time, then dying off before the dreams were fully realized. They had some good films, Cobra and MOTU being two of them (even though MOTU could have been SO much better with a bigger budget). But man, they really loved pumping out crap. Crap that we love today for taking itself so seriously, but just plain crap back then. Sell the renter on the VHS cover (<a href="http://www.retro-daze.org/site/article/id/275">as you've mentioned before</a>) and then hope you make the budget back without too much word of mouth crashing your chances. Without the internet, discussing some crappy movie you watched was far less likely to happen. My favorite MST3K Golan and Globus disaster? Alien in LA with Kathy Ireland.

| 2024 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Cannon Films are so important to 80's cinema...and video stores. What would have been playing on cable and Sunday afternoon TV with out the violence filled schlock they pushed out on a regular basis? Of course Masters of The Universe is their most special release to me. Yes, they disregarded everything about the cartoon that made us love it, but it's such a fun fantasy/sci-fi hybrid and inter-dimensional dwarves stealing fried chicken makes me happy. From what I understand Cyborg was created from sets, costumes and script elements planned for the MOTU sequel that never happened. Oh and the Spider-Man movie! I get such a kick out of all the promo materials and costumes they designed for it. It would have been just one step above the 70's live action TV show, but that film would have defined my childhood for sure. Fantastic article! | An Ode to Cannon Films | Feb 18, 2015 | |
| 2026 | Article | Vaporman87 | To just imagine Gary Goddard's original vision for MOTU on screen back then makes me disappointed it never happened. Maybe if Paramount, Universal, or some other big studio could have gotten the rights and budget together, it might have been a real classic. | An Ode to Cannon Films | Feb 19, 2015 | |
| 2049 | Article | OldSchool80s | Nice article! I fondly remember the Ninja trilogy featuring Sho Kosugi. I think I did an issue on those myself once upon a time. But you are right about Cannon being such a big part of cheesy 80s action flicks. | An Ode to Cannon Films | Feb 24, 2015 | |
