Logo description, capture, and video by bigladiesman
Edited by OptimusPrime2000, mr3urious and VofDoom
Background: Manuel Esteba was a producer and director of exploitation films whose main "merit" is to have directed what's considered to be the worst movie ever made in Spain: the 1983 E.T. spoof El E.T.E. y el OTO, filmed in two weeks with a ridiculously low budget. Not strangely, this was his last film (by the way, he still claims that Spielberg gave him permission personally to make the movie).
1st Logo
(1983)
Nickname: "The Man who Inspired Rob Liefeld"
Logo: At the beginning of the movie, a very muscular man with red briefs poses as Rank's "Gongman" and hits a gong that reads "Una Producción Manuel Esteba P.C." all in capitals. The gong immediately breaks. At the end of the film, the man is seen trying to fix the gong, but he can't, and starts weeping in frustation.
FX/SFX: Nothing; it's a live action logo.
Cheesy Factor: Well, everything: The gong is crude and visibly made with polyurethane or plaster, and the letters are just stacked on it. The muscular guy tries his best to simulate he's weeping, but fails, and the background is plain black.
Music/Sounds: In the first part, only the sound of the gong breaking, and in the second part, a happy-go-lucky piano tune, which the outro of the ending music, accompained by the man's sobbing.
Availability: Extremely rare; seen only on the Spanish E.T. spoof, El E.T.E. y el OTO, which does not exist anymore.
Scare factor: None, unless you're frightened by the sound of your own laughter. This one is a serious candidate to the worst logo ever made.
