Pictures]]), and was headed by Mario F. Kassar. It didn't last long, as the joint venture collapsed by 1992; former Carloco CEO Peter Hoffman would later take the Seven Arts name and revive it as [[Seven Arts Entertainment|an independent studio]]. Today, the entire Seven Arts library is owned by [[StudioCanal]]. Seven Arts Pictures is not to be confused with Ray Stark and Eliot Hyman's "[[Seven Arts Productions]]". | ||

'''Audio Variant:''' A French VHS of ''The Dark Wind'' presumably overlaid the film's French audio track onto what was supposed to be a U.S. theatrical print (it went straight-to-video in America, after a planned theatrical release fell through). As a result, the Seven Arts jingle is replaced with that of [[UGC]], the film's French distributor. | '''Audio Variant:''' A French VHS of ''The Dark Wind'' presumably overlaid the film's French audio track onto what was supposed to be a U.S. theatrical print (it went straight-to-video in America, after a planned theatrical release fell through).

It's also seen on the Canadian [[Cineplex Odeon Video|Cineplex Odeon]] VHS of ''Queens Logic'', in addition to Tubi's print, after the [[FilmRise]] logo. The bylineless version is seen on ''Dice Rules''. It may have been seen on some theatrical prints of ''Defenseless'', ''Get Back'' (the Paul McCartney concert film), and ''Sweet Talker'', but the home video releases show no evidence. However, it is preserved on Tubi's print of ''Defenseless'', after the [[FilmRise]] logo. | ||
