Largo Entertainment was a production company founded in 1989. It was ran by movie producers and brothers Lawrence and Charles Gordon and was backed by Japanese electronics firm JVC/Victor in an investment that cost more than $100 million. The production company released their first film, ''Point Break'', in 1991. In 1992, they formed "Largo International N.V.", a short-lived international division of Largo Entertainment that was established shortly after Largo itself was founded. Largo went out of business in 1999, and their film library was acquired by InterMedia in 2001. Warner Bros. holds video rights to most of the InterMedia-owned Largo Entertainment library, with a few exceptions.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a red line scrolls down. As it does this, the word "LARGO" rises up. They both rest in the middle of the screen. Then the word "ENTERTAINMENT" crawls down from below the red line and stops. Then the byline "IN ASSOCIATION WITH JVC ENTERTAINMENT, INC." with the JVC logo in its corporate font, between "WITH" and "JVC" fades in below.
