*It precedes the Universal Pictures logo on current overseas prints of ''Conan the Destroyer'' (1984) and the UA Ovoid on the Kino Lorber Blu-ray release of ''Fistful of Dollars'' (1964), though in the latter case it's not attached to the actual feature, only directly preceding it according to a playlist file. | |||
*Also appears on video games such as ''Goldeneye 007 (2010)''. | |||
*It also makes a surprise appearance on the YouTube Movies print of ''The Usual Suspects''. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' The history of this updated logo's creation is actually rather interesting. Although the 2008 roar track was a wasted effort, why even make it if they decided to stick with the 1995 roar? | '''Editor's Note:''' The history of this updated logo's creation is actually rather interesting.
