Logo capture by Eric S.
Background: Lightning Video was a division of Vestron Video used to distribute extreme B and made-for-TV movies during the '80s.
(1985-1990)
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 ''LIGHTING''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.
AvailabiltyAvailability: 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.
