* The logo is preserved on pre-May 9, 1986 films by MGM that are owned by Warner Bros. via Turner Entertainment Co. However, for releases from May 23, 1986-July 10, 1987 that still use the MGM/UA Entertainment Co. logo that's copyrighted by MGM Entertainment Co.

Your best bet would be to check MGM/UA Home Video tapes. | * The logo is preserved on pre-May 9, 1986 films by MGM that are owned by Warner Bros. via Turner Entertainment Co.

'''Editor's Note:''' The history of this updated logo's creation is actually rather interesting. Although the 2008 roar track was a wasted effort.
