Draft:Regal Home Entertainment

Background

Regal Home Entertainment, also called Regal International, Inc. and Regal Home Video, is the home video division of Regal Films.

Regal International, Inc.

1st Logo (1980s-1989)

Logo: On a purple background, we see the words "REGAL INTERNATIONAL PRESENTS" with quotation marks.

Variant: On a release of Pilipinas Kong Mahal, a blue background was used.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extremely rare. Appears on their very early VHS tapes, including Anak Ng Cabron.

2nd Logo (1989-1992)

Logo: On a background with a large and moving blue star, the same "R" from the second Regal Entertainment logo, but thinner font weight, is onthe center of the screen. The words "Regal International, Inc."(in a similar font, and in capri) fade in. The word "Presents" (in a modern-styled font, and also in capri) crawls down from below the word "Regal International, Inc."

Variant: On I Have 3 Eggs and Pretty Boy Hoodlum, the logo is shorter and has a green tint to it.

Technique: The moving star in the background, the "Regal International, Inc." fading in, and "Presents" crawling.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd Regal Films logo.

Availability: Same as before; once again, only seen on some Filipino films. Sometimes appears before the Regal Films logo. This strangely plasters the Seiko Films logo on some releases like the 1991 VHS of Kristobal: Tinik sa korona right after the Live Home Video FBI Warning.

Legacy: The Regal Films music is still creepy here, but this is a major improvement over the "R from Hell".

3rd Logo (1990-1992)

Logo: On a blue background, the text "Regal International Inc. presents" in a white bordered serif font flips in.

Variants:

At the end of some tapes the text says "The Following is a preview of Regal International's forthcoming video releases" bumper exists.
On Barbi For President, the text are in red tint.
On a 1992 releases such as Bukas Tatakpan Ka Ng Dyaryo the logo uses the different text the word "Inc." has been ommited. Also it flies into the screen, then plays in reverse than just zooming left out.

Technique: The text flipping, 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None, but sometimes it uses the 2nd Regal Films logo theme.

Availability: Extremely rare. Can be seen on the VHS tapes like Hanggang Saan Ang Tapang Mo and Barbi For President.

Legacy: It's most likely a placeholder logo, like the 1st logo, which explains the quality.

Regal Home Video

1st Logo (1990s-2003)

Logo: Same as the Regal Television logo, but with a bluish rectangle appearing to cover the original "REGAL TELEVISION" text, and then the text "REGAL HOME VIDEO" zooms in below the logo, and stopping in the rectangle.

Technique: Same as the Regal Television logo.

Music/Sounds: The 1st Academy Home Entertainment theme.

Music/Sounds Variant: On a release of Ang Titser Kong Pogi and Di Ko Kayang Tanggapin (2000, April Boy Regino film), the logo is silent.

Availability: Common to find in Filipino home videos from the time. This was seen on some VHS/DVD/VCD movies like Gagamboy, Bahay Ni Lola, Ang Titser Kong Pogi, Vizconde Massacre: God Help Us!, Aguinaldo: Agila Ng Cagayan, Hesus Rebolsyonaryo and other Regal Films, and also from their subsidiaries Good Harvest Unlimited Inc., MAQ Productions Inc., Mother Studio Films, and RMI. This logo can be also found on their HV releases from films made by OctoArts Films, pre-VIVA Films (such as FLT Films International), Maverick Films, Star Cinema/ABS-CBN Film Productions, Millennium Cinema, Reyna Films Movies (including Saan Ka Man Naroroon and Abot Kamay Ang Pangarap), Seiko Films, GMA Films, and others. It is believed to be seen on Japanese movies/anime releases such as Dragon Ball The Movie 2 & 3 (Creative Products Corp. Dub), Mini 4WD Series, Let's & Go: The Movie and other releases made by Toei and Toho Company.

Legacy: The logo zooming in may cause a few scares, but you may laugh due to the blatant music theft. It's also just the television arm's logo but poorly edited to include the company name.

2nd Logo (2003-2005)

Logo starts at 0:51

Logo: On a black and yellow backgroud, we see the Regal logo in red zooming in. And after that, the Regal logo stops zooming for about 10 seconds. A white outline surrounds the logo with a purple-yellow box along with a gold rectangle, surrounding the logo and "REGAL ENTERTAINMENT, INC." from above and " 40 years" from below as the words are appearing. Regal Home Video appears below the logo, Then we go straight to the DVD Video logo which zooms in slowly, as well as the copyright holder screen which then zooms out after the DVD Video logo.

Technique: TBA.

Music/Sounds: It starts with a low synth sounder and some synthesized sequencing where the Regal logo zooms in, then a loud whoosh where they go straight to the DVD Video logo, followed by a loud lightning sound at the end. (which mean for the copyright holder screen.)
