HBO Movie (1987)/MPAA Rating Disclaimer/Warner Bros. logo

[cameron20101000]

do you got betamax tapes?

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

@cameron20101000 - No, I do not. I only have VHS tapes.

[CartoonCookie93]

The Warner Bros. logo at the end of this video has the classic 1936 fanfare which, in the 1985 Warner Home Video logo that used synthizizes to play Stenier's tune.

I wish someone had the video of when the channel WGN used to player thier late-night movies. I think it was only on Saturday nights. That theme they used was Epic.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

@supernintendan - I'm from Southern New Jersey, so I wouldn't have WGN stuff (I wish I did though - I do get WGN America, but I heard that WGN stuff is legendary). Also, you may never find it because WGN does not allow posting of their material on You Tube.

[Cyclops236]

@AllisonTheSNLGuru I saw a tv show opening with the WGN America logo on the bottom of the screen it was In The Heat of the Night.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

@Cyclops236 - Was it posted on You Tube? I've watched WGN America quite a few times, except they don't show local commercials, which is something I REALLY want to see.

[Cyclops236]

@AllisonTheSNLGuru It showed a news thing saying tonight at ten and then the opening but I haven't seen it since I got a new computer because it was removed a week after it was posted.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

@Cyclops236 - I'm not surprised...posting WGN stuff is a cardinal sin.

[Cyclops236]

@AllisonTheSNLGuru Cardinal Sin never heard of that term is that a Jersey expression?

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

@Cyclops236 - haha, no. At least, I don't think it is. :-)

[mpasdos]

does anyone remember that disclaimer that said something like "this program contains language of a frank and explicit nature?"

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

I think so...sounds familiar!

[Wildcock23]

@mpasdos That particular "warning" was used for unrated pictures on CINEMAX in the early 90's

[jakestooge34]

"Caddyshack II" was awful. The first one was great.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

I work at a upscale country club, and Caddyshack is the Bible for us. Caddyshack II is an insult to the original.

[floridapanthersroar]

What year is this from?

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

The tape is from 1989, but the HBO logo is from 1987.

[wetalloy]

another excellent HBO opener to go along with wicked music ! !

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Glad you liked it! And they used it for years too...I can remember seeing this in the mid-90s,

[STBNY]

i never thought i would se this ever again.. thanks a million :)

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

You're welcome - I wish I had the whole thing, not a cut portion of the clip!

[wetalloy]

yes! yes!! i watched this a while back in my childhood prime

[jinglebell61]

That "The Following Movie Is Rated PG' was so good

[Cinemax1980]

I like how Hbo in the mid 80's,had An ivory backround on the ratings bump.Looks better than the black/blue backround of the earlier 80's.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Yes, less ominous.

[Cinemax1980]

Plus the guy with Gruff voice in the early 80's scared me.The Following Feature is Rated R,Creeped Me out,especially seeing the bumper in the dark at 3am alone.

[iambernig]

I heard a rumor for years that there were plans for a Caddyshack 3 with Louie Anderson as the crazy gopher hunter.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Someone with intelligence will keep those plans to themselves.

[yellowdiva21]

What wrong with Caddyshack II?

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Oh not much, except for the fact that its a mediocre sequel to one of the greatest sports comedies of all time.

A classic like Caddyshack did not deserve to be followed up by a movie that was a thin shadow of what the original was.

My mom said they taped it only because the movies were back-to-back on HBO that night.

[yellowdiva21]

I see. I never saw the caddyshack movies by the way

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Oh, ok. I highly recommend the first one, but the second one is viewable only as a testament to how fast a franchise can fall from glory.

[Cinemax1980]

I think had Bill Murray,or More Importantly Rodney Dangerfield had been in it,it would've rocked.

[drduke28]

Caddyshack is a pale, emasculated shadow of the brilliant original.

[Cinemax1980]

Really what hurt Caddyshack 2 was the casting.Only Randy Quaid seemed funny.Jackie Mason is not Rodney Dangerfield.Dan Akyroyd(Though Funny)is not Bill Murray,Robert Stack is not Ted Knight,and Chevy Chase wasn't given enough screen time.
