===Background===  
'''Filmways Pictures''' was a film studio that was a division of [[Filmways Television]] that was founded in 1980 from the acquisition of [[American International Pictures]] in 1979 and was folded into [[Orion Pictures]] in 1982. Filmways had been producing films, prior to their acquisition of AIP, since 1967 and also owned film distributor [[Sigma III Corporation]]. Filmways, Inc. was later reincorporated as "Orion Pictures Corporation" in June of that same year. Currently most of the Filmways film library is owned by [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] with Orion retaining the copyright. The rights to films that Filmways produced prior to the AIP acquisition are owned by the original distributors.

'''Logo:''' Set against a starry space background, we see a bright star emit a beam of light to wipe in the words "{{color|orange|FILMWAYS PICTURES, INC.}}" in a curvy {{color|orange}} Denmark font. The star disappears, and after a while, the words zoom-up and slide away.
