Revision as of 21:25, 5 June 2020

Background: This is the production company of director and actor, Spike Lee in 1979. It was named after an historical event where in 1865, General Sherman ordered the distribution of 40 acres lots to some freed black families on the Georgia coast, and also distributed some army mules.



(August 8, 1986-November 18, 1992)

Nickname: The Hammering

Logo: This is a spoof of the Mark VII Limited logo. On a wood background (in either gray or brown), a hand holding a stamper places it on the surface. With a hammer, it knocks the stamper and pulls it away, revealing the same logo from the previous logo. The company name, "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY", "YA DIG" and "SHO NUFF" wipe in later.

FX/SFX: Live action and the animation of wiping.

Music/Sounds: Robot-like sounds, followed by a loud "BANG!". Sometimes, the wiping of the company name and all that jazz have "freezing" noises.

Availability: Appears on films by Spike Lee, like Bamboozled, Crooklyn, He Got Game and Love & Basketball.

Editor's Note: TBA.
