Also, J. Lee Thompson, who directed the Guns of Navarone and Cape Fear was Cannon and Charles Bronson's go-to director during the 1980's. He directed 8 Cannon movies over 6 years and 5 starred Charles Bronson.

Yeah, which only earned him his first Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. Not to mention a few wins:

Have you actually seen the movie? If you think fried-chicken waving, 30-second death stares, and the scissored-eye of your choice scene is Oscar worthy, that's fine.

This is the same body that nominated Robert Loggia for a paint-by-the-numbers supporting role in Jagged Edge two yeas earlier so I'm not impressed with a nomination. I'll let the role speak for itself.

Yes, most Cannon films are quite excellent.

Yes, I actually saw the movie. And I thought while watching it, Freeman was amazing and one to keep an eye on.
