Upland Films Corporate Limited

(1993-1996)
Nicknames: "A Paramount Rip-Off", "The Chinese Paramount", "The Paramount Prism", "Dark Side of the Mountain"

Logo: On a night sky background from which we slowly pan down, a huge, shiny prism slowly zooms out rotating. A spectrum is seen through the prism. As it settles down, a vermilion filmstrip flies around it and loops a circle over it briefly, leaving a ring of thirty-one very tiny stars above it, a la the Paramount Pictures logo, and inside the prism, leaving a piece of the filmstrip making the letter "U". Then, the filmstrip flies horizontally underneath the prism, leaving the text "UPLAND FILMS CORPORATE LIMITED" in gold below, along with the Chinese characters for it.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A triumphant, dramatic synth-orchestra fanfare. Sometimes with the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Very rare. You can possibly find it on High Risk (1995) and other HK movies on either YouTube or youku.com.

Editor's Note: None.
