Legend, Hero....the guy is a HUGE part of my growing up....probably a huge part of my addiction to crap action movies too.....
Imagine back to the days of video rentals if there had never been a Menahem Golan .....there probably would not have BEEN any video rental revenue without him and Cannon!!!
When you saw "GOLAN-GLOBUS " appear in t he starting credits you were GUARANTEED enjoyment.....It was like a stamp of approval!!

Menahem didn't just shape my tastes, he shaped my childhood! Masters of the Universe was one of my FAVORITE films when I was a kid. I still love it to this day. Rest in peace Mr. Golan.

RIP Menahem Golan
85 years old, not a bad run.
RIP to a legend and a man who, I'm sure, had a huge role in shaping what a lot of movie buffs my age consider to be the pinnacle of the genre!

Golan is an Israel Prize laureate for his contribution to Israeli cinema and held a central role in Hollywood in the 80s.
Together with his cousin Yoram Globus, Golan headed Cannon Group, a successful production company that produced films such as Delta Force and was instrumental in launching the careers of Charles Bronson and Chuck Noris.
He is survived by a wife and three children."
