Park Films
Background
Park Films (寶樹影片公司) was a film production company established in Taiwan by Shaw Brothers actress Kao Pao-shu. The name comes from Kao's second husband's name, Vengee Park.
1st Logo (1970-1973?)
TBA
2nd Logo (1972-1980)
Screenshot 100 Logo: On a colorized background (either blue, dark blue, Air Force blue, yellow or pale green), we see a green, murky green, yellow or plain white (depending on the variant) of the abstract plant (representing a umbrella) wiping in following with "PARK FILMS" in a arched font. The red Chinese text "寶樹影片公司" (written backwards) and the English name "PARK FILMS presents" appears below.
FX/SFX: The umbrella wiping and the text wiping.
Variants:
On The Cannibals, the background was cropped to 4:3 to fit the screen. In later years, the logo is still. It was appeared only on The Master Strikes. On the animated variant, there is a fanfare from the Hwa Kuo Movie Studio logo, the logo then freezes, and then cut to the opening theme of the film. This variant is unknown or in-progress name, but the print of the film would plasters to the theatrical version of the logo. Sometimes, the blue or green background would be later light green, pale green, blue or murky green, depending on the variant. The early variant has no English text appeared, only a Chinese text, and the logo is seen on a concrete background.
Music/Sounds: There are 3 versions:
Version 1: The same fanfare from the Eternal Film logo. Version 2: The music from the theme of "The Jade Fox". Version 3: A 5-note trumpet fanfare with 4-note begin held and then 2-note begin held in the logo.
Availability: Rare.
Seen on some films like Win Them All, Female Fugitive, The Damned and The Master Strikes. The opening theme is rare and it's was seen on The Jade Fox. The in-progress version with the Hwa Kuo fanfare was seen on the later print of The Master Strikes.
Editor's Note: The trumpet fanfare and the Eternal Film fanfare maybe scare some, but the animation is cheesy or choppy to it.
