Nicknames: "Night of the Lepus", "The Rabbit", "Snake Killer Rabbit", "You're Next"

Logo: On a country landscape background, the screen fades in to a close-up of a detailed blue-white rabbit with a snake in its mouth and a predatory look in its eyes. The screen then slowly zooms away, revealing the rest of the rabbit and snake and a brown rabbit behind. Then on the left, "BOJE BUCK" and "präsentiert" with a black shadow under the text fades in. The upper text is black and in a Stencil font, with a red separation line and appears creased.

Variants:

• On Knallhart, the background is black, and only the rabbit with the snake is seen, in black and white and in a much darker tone. The name is in a different font (like it's written with a crayon on a blackboard) and just slides in from the left, has a crayon white separator, and the text "präsentiert" doesn't appear.
• On Same Same but Different and its trailer, the rabbit and the snake appear inside some high grass in a landscape with palm trees in the background. Only the upper half of the bodies of both animals are visible due to the height of the grass. In addition, the text has a blue separator and just splashes in. The logo also begins with the transition of a circle zooming in on a black background.
• On NVA, the rabbit wears a soldier hat and his ear twitches at the end.

FX/SFX: Just a simple zoom-out from the rabbit's face.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie or silence.

Availability: Seen on films distributed by the company, such as Knallhart, Wir können auch anders, Same Same but Different, Sonnenallee, Herr Lehmann, Bandyta and NVA.

Editor's Note: This logo is infamous for its creepy imagery, however, aside from the Knallhart and Same Same but Different variants where there's just the rabbit and the snake, the subject matter seems to be more so the rabbit protecting the brown rabbit behind it from the snake. It could also be a reference to the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
