Cannon Films, also known as The Cannon Group Inc, was a film studio that produced low-budget films from 1967 to 1994. Their movies include famous Chuck Norris action movies and the American Ninja series.
The group eventually built up a large portfolio of cinemas, film rights, distributors, and other assets within the entertainment industry. The company eventually went under and most of the films were bought by larger studios like MGM and Paramount.
