2nd Logo (1975)

King Hu Film Productions (1975)

Logo: On a black background, we see Chinese text (in an ancient Chinese font) and its English translation in orange.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: A gong crash is heard at the beginning, and the Chinese-like tympani hits are heard. When we cut to the opening credits, the opening theme of the movie is heard.

Availability: Only seen onThe Valiant Ones.

Editor's Note: The loud gong and suspenseful timpani will definitely give many people a jump. It also depends on what you think about the font.
