...either gory shoot-'em-ups like the current Death Wish 3 or comic-book films like Captain America and Pinocchio--the Robot. Golan hopes that one of their films, Delta Force, which comes out next month with Chuck Norris and Lee Marvin, will be Cannon's first $100 million grosser. The script has terrorists taking over an American airliner and Norris and his Delta Force flying to the rescue, spraying bullets everywhere.
