Cannon Films collection at Best Buy

Anyone like really bad movies? I went to Best Buy last night and saw they have some "Exclusive" movies from the Cannon Films vault that they will carry from August to December for 9.99. Whatever!

Anyways, here's what I remeber seeing:

Delta Force 3: Horrendous sequel to Chuck Norris franchise
The Hitman: Chuck Norris
Hellbound: Chuck Norris' worst movie ever
Chain of Command: Michael Dudikoff
Fifty Fifty: Peter Weller and Robert Hays
American Kickboxer 1
American Ninja 4
American Samurai
The Mummy Returns: With Tony Curtis

What's up with these "Exclusives" these titles don't even warrant being called that.

9.99 apiece or for 9.99 for all of them?

9.99 a piece, they may be bad movies, but they aren't that cheap

Sounds like what should be in the Walmart 5.50 bin as filler that no one buys.

If they had the Cannon release of Ten Little Indians from 1989 starring the ever talented Frank Stallone, I'd consider picking that up. It was a guilty pleasure for me when I was younger.

Dang. From the thread title I thought I was going to get my William Conrad fix.

Most stores would know enough to not even stock these ... "exclusive" by default.

now most of the non-norris titles were direct/made for video so full screen should be the OAR?

Yes,
Top Dog was pretty good compared to Hellbound. All of the movie was shot in Israel and they pretended the 1st part of the movie was in Chicago (how can Israel be a substitiute for that city?) Chuck had an extremely lame jive talking sidekick that annoyed the hell out of me.

The only thing I liked about it was Sheree J. Wilson, who would later be Chuck's co-star in Walker Texas Ranger.

Hmmm...Chuck Norris' worst movie...?
Sounds like a poll to me.
