Great Man Film Production Limited (Hong Kong)

Background : Great Man Film Production Limited is a short-lived Hong Kong movie production company founded in the mid 1990's by a producer, action director, presenter, actor and director Lau Ga-Yung. The company released only one movie, Lantern, in 1994.

Logo : At night, a camera shot of a shiny muscular man clad only in shorts, running down a open-lit corridor while carrying a large silver filmreel case, is seen at an Dutch angle. It then switches to a shot of the man at a straight look at his back before cutting back to the Dutch angle. It then switches to the straight shot, but with the camera suddenly shaking as we get a bit closer. It then cuts to the man outside a building turning around. He then grips the case with both hands and throws the filmreel case into the air, flipping many times before landing on a sidewalk with the man, now kneeling, holding it in place. The green text "GREAT MAN FILM PRODUCTION LIMITED" fades in, along with the Mandarin translation.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor : Live action, in which the concept and execution is pretty strange. Not to mention, the camerawork looks like it was done by an amateur trying to catch up to the man.

Music/Sounds : It starts off with a synth beat with the man breathing being audible. As it progresses, the music gets more intense. Near the end, sounds of the case flipping in the air can be heard, along with a long synth drone at the end.

Availability : See Background.

Scare Factor : Medium. The intense music and strange concept may scare some, but most likely it'll be more harmless.
