Background

Caution Video was a home video division of the Japanese toy company Takara that released B-movies on VHS.

1st and only logo (1980s-1992)

Nicknames: "Howling/Screaming Shirtless Man", "Films That Break The Mold", "CAUTION!"

Logo: On a black background, we see a shirtless man howling or screaming while we zoom into his face. The word "CAUTION" (in pinkish red, with the "C" looking like a serpent that goes under the stylized "A" and "U") appears, with the byline "films that break the mold!" (also in pinkish red) appearing below it. The Japanese words "株式会社タカラ映像事業部" (A Film Division of The Takara Company) fade in on the bottom right corner of the screen.

FX/SFX: Mostly live-action.

Music/Sounds: The man howling or screaming (the exact howl or scream varies from tape to tape), and then a loud timpani hit when the logo appears.

Availability: Very rare. Seen on Japanese B-movies on VHS tapes such as Meet The Feebles, Shocking Dark, and Hammerhead.

Editor's Note: Many will be unnerved by the nonsensical subject matter and overall absurdness. The timpani hit may also startle a few. Those who are used to it will have less of a problem, and some may love its overall weirdness and/or find it absolutely hilarious. Also, as this logo appears on several tapes, more variants of this logo may exist.
