United Artists: Difference between revisions

*Was prolific on video releases and cable during the 1980s. This logo was used to update UA's catalog and provide a visual branding presence in the process, especially considering that most pre-Transamerica UA films did not have a logo at the beginning.

*This plasters older logos on the CBS/FOX releases of ''The Spy Who Loved Me'', ''The Black Stallion'', ''Rocky'', ''Thunderball'', ''You Only Live Twice'', ''Goldfinger'', and ''It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'', the Playhouse Video release of ''Apache'', the 1983 MGM/UA Home Video release of ''The Last Waltz'', the 1983 Warner Home Video rental-only VHS and Betamax release of ''A Fistful of Dollars'' (it also appears on the 1985 CBS/Fox Video laserdisc), the RCA SelectaVision CED release of ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'', and Amazon Prime Video's print of ''Heaven's Gate'' (the shorter theatrical cut).

*This is used on most modern prints of 1982 UA films such as ''Rocky III'' (including the 2020 rerelease), ''The Secret Of Nimh'' and ''Trail Of The Pink Panther'', all of which are preceded by the 2001 MGM logo.

*Most 1983-1987 UA films such as ''Wargames'', '' Yentl'', ''A View To A Kill'' and ''Rocky IV'' were released with the MGM/UA Entertainment Co. logo (which still survives on some current prints), with the text “UNITED ARTISTS PRESENTS” proceding it on some films. 1984 UA films such as ''Red Dawn'' used the “Diamond Jubilee” variant of the MGM/UA logo.  

*Also seen on UK prints of ''The Plague Dogs'' (the shorter US version was distributed by Embassy Pictures and had their logo in place), and is also intact on Optimum Releasing's DVD release and Shout! Factory's Blu-Ray of the movie.

*Strangely appears on an VHS trailer for ''Teachers'' (on a 1986 Australian tape of ''American Flyers'').  

*Also, it plasters the 1st UA logo on a CBS/FOX release of ''Witness for the Prosecution'', in which this logo is shown in B&W.  

*Also currently seen on ''The Wilby Conspiracy'', preceded by the 2008 MGM lion. It can also seen on TCM airings of ''The Horse Soldiers''.

*This is also seen on the 2004 MGM DVD and 2010 Blu-ray of ''The Thomas Crown Affair'', as well as on the 2018 Kino Lorber 4K remastered Blu-ray. Can also be seen on '80s prints of older 007 films, mainly on VHS and Laserdisc (it also appeared on the 1983 double feature of ''Moonraker'' and ''From Russia with Love'', reissued for one week to promote ''Octopussy'' and compete with ''Never Say Never Again'').
