* The byline-less version is preserved on most 1982 to 1995 films (usually with the [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] logo), such as ''The Silence of the Lambs'', ''The Terminator'' (although the 1991 [[Hemdale Home Video]] VHS and 1995 [[Image Entertainment]] Laserdisc releases plaster this logo with the [[Hemdale Film Corporation]] logo), ''Madhouse'', ''Bull Durham'', the original ''Robocop'' trilogy, ''Hoosiers'', ''Mississippi Burning'', ''Platoon'' (except for the 1998 [[PolyGram Video|PolyGram]] VHS), ''UHF'', ''Three Amigos'', ''Breathless'' (1983), ''Harry and Son'', ''Dances with Wolves'' (US prints only), and both ''Bill & Ted'' films, among others (though the 2001 DVD release of ''Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey'' inexplicably cuts the logo, going from the MGM logo straight to the opening credits, while current prints of ''Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'' omit this, having only the 2010 MGM and [[Nelson Entertainment|Nelson]] logos). | * The byline-less version is preserved on most 1982 to 1995 films (usually with the [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] logo), such as ''The Silence of the Lambs'', ''The Terminator'' (although the 1991 [[Hemdale Home Video]] VHS and 1995 [[Image Entertainment]] Laserdisc releases plaster this logo with the [[Hemdale Film Corporation]] logo), ''Madhouse'', ''Bull Durham'', the original ''Robocop'' trilogy, ''Hoosiers'', ''Mississippi Burning'', ''Platoon'' (except for the 1998 [[PolyGram Video|PolyGram]] VHS), ''UHF'', ''Three Amigos'', ''Breathless'' (1983), ''Harry and Son'', ''Dances with Wolves'' (US prints only), and both ''Bill & Ted'' films, among others (though the 2001 DVD release of ''Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey'' inexplicably cuts the logo, going from the MGM logo straight to the opening credits, while current prints of ''Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'' omit this, having only the 2010 MGM and [[Nelson Entertainment|Nelson]] logos). | ||
* The earlier variant with the Warner Bros. byline first appeared on the 1980 [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|WCI Home Video]] VHS and Betamax release of ''10'' to plaster the previous logo and was also seen on theatrical releases of the time frame (in tandem with the previous logo). This version plasters the previous logo on current releases of 1979 to 1981 films such as ''Caddyshack'', ''The Great Santini'', ''Arthur'' (1981), ''Sharky's Machine'' and ''Wolfen'', among others. On ''First Blood'', it was preserved on the 1983 [[Thorn EMI Video|Thorn EMI Video]] VHS release, appearing on the film all the way up to the 1995 [[Avid Home Entertainment]] release, and also appears on the widescreen laserdisc release from Live Home Video; oddly enough, though the film itself is letterboxed, the logo is still anamorphically squeezed into a 4:3 frame. | * The earlier variant with the Warner Bros. byline first appeared on the 1980 [[Warner Bros.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An ethereal choir accompanied by some howling, a timpani hit and then a three-note tune as the line appears. Composed by electro-pop musician Kid Moxie. Otherwise, it's the opening theme of the film. | '''Music/Sounds:''' An ethereal choir accompanied by some howling, a timpani hit and then a three-note tune as the line appears.
