Background: Avalanche Home Entertainment was a division of Lionsgate Films that distributed smaller Canadian B-movies and independent films.
(December 2, 1997-November 27, 2001)[]
Logo: On a rippling crystal blue background, we see part of the letter "A" and a snow avalanche below it. The snow reveals the word "AVALANCHE" and is placed underneath the big "A". Then the snow disappears, and a bolt-like figure flashes in on top of the "A". The word "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" appears below under the line, and a byline saying "A DIVISION OF LIONS GATE FILMS CORP." There is a small LG lion standing near the byline.
FX/SFX: The rippling background, the avalanche, and the flash.
Music/Sounds: A dramatic horn tune ending in an orchestral hit, followed by an ethereal synth tune.
Availability: Uncommon. It debuted on The Heist, and can be seen on all subsequent Avalanche releases, such as The Bad Pack, Gangster World, Romper Stomper, Out in Fifty, Expect to Die, Hitman's Run, Kate's Addiction, The Ultimate Weapon, Highball, Women of the Night, Codename: Jaguar, and Borough of Kings.
