Purveyors of 1980s Hollywood B-movies, Israeli cousins Menachem Golan and Yoram Globus took over a failing Cannon Films studio in 1979 and forged a new business model by producing films with groundbreakingly shlocky scripts. They became known mostly for action thrillers like Death Wish 2 and Exterminator 2, but the group’s output was far more diverse, including collaborations with auteur filmmakers like Andrei Konchalovsky and Jean Luc Godard. The Go-Go Boys pays tribute to a special time in movie-making and features a range of interviews with Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude van Damme, and other B-movie talent, including the Israeli duo themselves.
