Background

IFD Films and Arts is a company from Hong Kong, founded in 1973 by Joseph Lai, which specialized in B-movies, especially the movies of Godfrey Ho.


1st Logo (1980s)

Nickname: "Hong Kong Torch Lady"

Logo: On the top of a cliff, we see a woman in white pants and top, with a long white veil on her head, holding a torch with a bright light at the end. The sky is very dark. The camera zooms in and the words, that are in orange and in the art-deco font:

IFD Films and Arts Limited presents a Joseph Lai release

slide in from the bottom, and the last line slides in from the left.

FX/SFX: The zooming in and the sliding in of the text. The woman is in live action. The whole logo is an obvious knockoff of the Columbia Pictures logo.

Music/Sounds: If ripping off the Columbia logo wasn't enough, the music is directly taken from Star Wars: A New Hope (from the part when the Devastator, Darth Vader's Star Destroyer, first appears), with the end cut of and replaced with some different fanfare, closed by some drums.

Availability: Very rare. Mostly seen on movies made by Godfrey Ho. It's preserved on Ninja the Protector and Ninja of the Magnificence.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1980s-2000s?)

Nicknames: "Focus Features' Ancestor", "IFD Bokeh"

Logo: On an animated black background with a bokeh effect, the purple words:

IFD Films and Arts Limited

presents

a Joseph Lai release

fade in with the company name in Chinese below it. After a while, the text fades out, leaving us with the bokeh background before the logo ends.

FX/SFX: The animated bokeh background, text fading in and out.

Musics/Sounds: A triumphant fanfare.

Availability: Common, it can be found on copies of the infamous Space Thunder Kids, Beauty & Warrior, and Ali Baba and the Gold Raiders.

Editor's Note: None.
