Nickname: "Cheesy Lightning"

Logo: On a red and black background, we see a bolt of lightning come down vertically, and then we see about two more bolts come down. The words ''LIGHTNING VIDEO'' zoom out in a dark blue, blocky font. We see more lightning crackling over the words, and as it slowly fades backwards to become white, we see two chrome-colored thunderbolts that shine.

Variant: Sometimes, "INTERNATIONAL" will zoom out into the logo when the lightning bolts strike.

FX/Cheesy Factor: The lighting, the appearance of the thunderbolts. Also, on the international variant, "INTERNATIONAL" looks very poorly animated and chyroned in.

Music/Sounds: None; just the sound of the lightning.

Availability: Appeared on their video releases, like French Quarter Undercover, Acts of Violence, Chopping Mall, and Manhattan Baby. This appeared by surprise on the Chopping Mall DVD.

Scare Factor
: Low, though the thunderbolts and lightning sounds may scare those who are afraid of lightning. The "INTERNATIONAL" variant isn't any better.
