'''Availability:''' Rare. Embassy's library is shared in various forms by StudioCanal (copyright and most international rights), MGM (domestic home media rights), SPT (television rights) and Lionsgate (domestic internet streaming rights under license from StudioCanal) with any of their logos preceding this logo. It is more common than the Embassy Television logos and can still be seen on ''This is Spinal Tap'' and ''The Sure Thing''. The version without the text can be seen on the 2013 Shout! Factory DVD and Blu-ray releases of ''Crimewave'', the 2014 Kino Lorber Blu-ray of ''The Emerald Forest'', the trailer for ''A Chorus Line'' and the VHS release of ''The Sure Thing'' (along with some television airings). However, the 2004 MGM DVD release and Encore airings of the latter use the standard version instead. It was also seen on the MGM Movie Time VHS of ''Eddie and the Cruisers''. This might have appeared on theatrical prints of ''Zapped'' and ''Parasite'' (1982), but home media releases show no evidence. | '''Availability:''' Rare.
