Largo Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''Largo Entertainment''' was a production company founded in August 1989. It was ran by movie producers and brothers '''La'''w'''r'''ence and Charles '''Go'''rdon 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 Films|Intermedia]] in 2001. [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] holds video rights to most of the Intermedia-owned Largo Entertainment library, with a few exceptions.

*From February 7-November 18, 1992, the word "{{font|Times New Roman|E N T E R T A I N M E N T}}" is replaced with the words "{{font|Times New Roman|I N T E R N A T I O N A L N. V.}}" on international prints of some films.

*A still version of this logo was seen at the end credits of John Carpenter's ''Vampires''.

* Seen on films from Largo Entertainment such as ''Point Break'' (1991), ''The Super'', ''Dr. Giggles'', ''Judgment Night'', ''Timecop'', ''The Getaway'' (1994), ''Mulholland Falls'', ''Omega Doom'', ''Adrenalin: Fear the Rush'', ''Meet Wally Sparks'' and John Carpenter's ''Vampires''.  

* On current prints of some of these, with examples being ''Timecop'' and ''Unlawful Entry'', this is replaced by the current InterMedia logo, while leaving the respective original distributor's logo (the 1981 [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] and 1991 [[Universal Pictures]] logos, for example) intact; on the Blu-ray of ''Timecop'', the Universal logo is replaced with the 2003 [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] shield.

* The "INTERNATIONAL N.V." variant was seen on international prints of ''Malcolm X''.  

* The last film to use this logo was ''Grey Owl'', starring Pierce Brosnan; the film also happens to be Largo's final production.

* Among the few films that is known to retain this is ''Point Break''; it is retained on at least AMC's print of the film as well as the now out-of-print [[20th Century Home Entertainment|20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] Blu-Ray.
