Answers and questions about 10 to Midnight

One question asked was about success in the box office of 10 to midnight. One of the biggest aims of Golan and Globus was to be successful in other countries, particularly the third world countries. No matter what it made in the states, there is no doubt in my mind it made more in other countries. It is absolutely amazing how great their films really are, and I grew up with virtually every one of them, on regular TV and on video (I never had basic or premium cable). Personally, the Cannon Group are the best low-budget company that ever existed. Another question someone asked me personally was that there is no way this film went on regular TV, becuase it is politically incorrect. Believe it or not, this had a lot of airplay on regular TV in the late 80's and early 1990's. It was played every year at that time on WPIX, as most Cannon films were, including every Bronson/Cannon vehicle, with the exception of Death Wish II, which in the 1980's was always on WWOR. In the 1990's it went to WPIX. Getting back to 10 to Midnight, Gene Davis always had black or blue underwear on when he did his murders on WPIX. Also, what I loved was when Bronson shows him the device, he even says, "It's for jacking off" on regular TV, WPIX. It's very on unforunate that people and credits usually bashed Cannon productions. This is because all of them really did have a point to them, especially in history. Credits didn't take the time to see this. A lot of them were even discussed in the book Films of our Life: Some A's and Mostly B's. Actually, I personally believe this is Bronson's best film from Cannon, and one of Cannon's top 5 best films. Ask me any thing about Cannon group films. I'll even tell you what regular station played them and what films never even made it to regular TV. Yours, Joseph
