Background

Grindhouse Releasing is a film distribution company co-founded by Sage Stallone, son of actor Sylvester Stallone (who founded White Eagle Enterprises and Balboa Productions), in 1996. They specialize in distributing old exploitation films from the 1960s and 1970s.

Logo (1996-)

Visuals: On a multi-colored psychedelic screen, "GRINDHOUSE RELEASING" appears from all sides and corners, merging at the center. As this happens the background turns yellow, orange and blue (via hue-shifting) after merging, before reverting to normal as "GRINDHOUSE RELEASING" splits back to eight copies and disperse away. Then, two copies of "presents" come in from the left and right sides of the screen very quickly and merge in the center.

Trivia: This is based on the bumpers as used at drive-in theaters by various companies in the 1960s and 1970s.

Technique: Camera-controlled animation.

Audio: Keith Mansfield's "Funky Fanfare," as used in the original grindhouse snipes.

Availability: Seen on films distributed by the company, such as Make Them Die Slowly (Cannibal Ferox), Pieces, Cannibal Holocaust, and The Tough Ones.
