Biography

After having carried out and producehaving produced films in Israel, it becomes, in the Années 1980, the most important American film producer popular muscular (some significant titles: Hospital Massacres (1982), Revenge off the Ninja (1983), Exterminator 2 (1984)) with expert actors of the kind like Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, Sylvester Stallone. It carries out some of them itself: The Delta Forces in 1986, Over the Top in 1987, etc It is him which discovers the Belgian actor , then unknown, Jean-Claude Van Damme. Nevertheless, of the same time, it takes care, for prestige, to produce works more ambitious as Love Streams John Cassavetes (1984), Barfly of Barbet Schroeder (1987) or King Lear of Jean-Luc Godard (1987). To note that for this last film, Menahem Golan expected an academic adaptation of the part of William Shakespeare as the Otello (1986) of Franco Zeffirelli which it had also produced. The end result of film of very contemporary Godard, even of avant-garde, trained the Godard scenario writer and the Golan producer in a long legal battle. The film did not leave in France and was projected in Belgium only at the beginning of the Années 2000. In the middle of the Years 1990, Menahem Golan turns over to Israel where it produces and directs films which do not seem to leave the borders of the country.
