Kudos has to be given to Hartley for lifting the lid on a host of bad practices and making an honest documentary that could so easily have been turned into a juvenile exercise in macho backslapping.

Directed with tremendous energy for much of its first half, as Cannon starts to wear out is welcome, so does this documentary.

Hartley's film is consistently entertaining, if somewhat one-note.

Hollywood Reporter
4 stars out of 5 -- Entertaining, but also insightful about bizarre strands of 1980s film history...
Empire
Rating: 4/5 --
While the documentary's scattershot approach makes it less examination, more vivid highlight reel, there is no denying Electric Boogaloo's abiding fodness for its subject matter.

Product Description:
In the 1980s, the name Cannon Films became synonymous with gonzo cinema, and in this documentary from filmmaker Mark Hartley (NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD: THE WILD, UNTOLD STORY OF OZPLOITATION!, MACHETE MAIDENS UNLEASHED!, the story of the house Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus built comes to life through the hilarious anecdotes of those who were there to witness the insanity first-hand. Franco Nero, Richard Chamberlain, Dolph Lundgren, Alex Winter, Lucinda Dickey and more reflect on the glorious heyday of the studio that delivered such 80's cult classics as BREAKIN', LIFEFORCE, INVASION U.S.A, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2, and of course one of the most notoriously awful musicals ever committed to film, THE APPLE.
