My life in the 90's was different than it is "now" or even in the 80's. I didn't have time to watch movies unfortunately. It wasn't until the 2000's that I was able to get back into them. And while they are similar to Cannon, you can't compare the two completely. Cannon films oftentimes made their way to the theaters, and PM did not. Ever. So saying "how can you not have heard of PM, they're practically the same thing" is really not fair. A lot of Cannon films I saw in the theater as a kid, whereas PM films were strictly home video, and even then, I can guarantee you most video stores didn't carry a lot of their titles. At least the video stores in my town. That changed of course when the internet took over. <br /><br />I have to ask you, have you actually seen Hologram Man? Or did you read my review thoroughly? I said pre-CGI and them being outdated and tacky, but I also said that I love them. That for this film, they work and add to it's charm. It's what makes this film so special to me. It's one of my all-time favorite movies. If it had top-quality CGI, it would not have been as entertaining. And I'm with you, I prefer pre-CGI myself too, but this film really benefits from the very low-grade, low-budget cheap-looking computer graphics. It's like a time capsule for the 90's and only makes this film much better. <br /><br />As far as comparing Cannon to PM, that's like apples and oranges. Cannon did do a lot of action, but they also did a ton of films in many other different genre's, but also they had a list of big name actors to headline their films like Chuck Norris, Stallone and Charles Bronson. PM is strictly action, and usually have little known actors or martial arts fighters like Jeff Wincott (who I love!) or actors who have passed their prime and haven't been in a theatrical release for years or decades, like Sam Jones, C. Thomas Howell and Joe Lara. They're somewhat similar, but also very different. If someone wasn't a regular customer in the video stores in the 90's, then it's very easy for them to not have heard of PM Entertainment. I only discovered them a year or so ago and they're now one of my favorites. I'm having a lot of fun digging into a LOT of their films. Some are great, while some are terrible. In fact, I love them so much I'm going to get a PM Entertainment logo tattoo soon, to go along with my current Cannon Films logo tattoo. <br /><br />Thanks for your input and for stopping by! I'm glad you like these kinds of films too. <br /><br />robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-51331846731238979912017-08-23T23:38:34.065-07:002017-08-23T23:38:34.065-07:00but how can you not have heard of richard pepin/PM...but how can you not have heard of richard pepin/PM , PM entertainment took the CANNON role kinda for the 90s, therefore PM is the king of directtovideo action flicks, and from what i gathering this site is pretty much about that<br /><br />also isnt pre cgi effects BETTER than cgi effects? i always see people complain about cgi , but then when it comes to pre cgi effect those same people complain that those are outdated etc etc, so make up your minds which you like ? i prefer the pre cgi all thewaybaracushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894553998561723936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-73308202327956505182015-04-18T10:46:56.961-07:002015-04-18T10:46:56.961-07:00Dude, Jack.

It's easily one of the best low-budget action films out there! And one of Pyun's best. Killer cast, crazy insane action and oozing with style. It's awesome!<br /><br />And this was so much better and entertaining than it has any right being. Definitely check this out and ignore the lame cover. :) I was in action heaven with this!robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-23482861614193156872015-04-17T08:25:32.000-07:002015-04-17T08:25:32.000-07:00This sounds pretty cool.

Will be checking this one out soon, but I agree, that crappy poster didn't help the film much. I've always wanted to see Nemesis...I've always enjoyed Cyborg...but haven't seen anything of his afterwards that is worth a damn. I mean, everything else I've seen is just....ultra low budget crap-o-rama..ever seen Omega Doom? Wow...what a snorefest....
