![Australia After Dark (1975) - Trailer [edited]
Edited trailer for an Australian pseudo-documentary film.
Director: John D. Lamond
DVD: Released in Australia as a double bill with The ABC of Love & Sex : Australia Style (Umbrella Entertainment). Future release due in the USA (Severin Films).
Note: Scenes containing bondage, sex, and full screen nudity needed to be edited out. Frame zooms were need to obscure certain content, but to keep dialogue in. The uncut version runs for about 3 minutes.
This trailer refers to the X-rated version (classified in 1984), and is therefore not on the R-rated DVD. The unedited version was released by Severin in the USA. Australia After Dark (1975) - Trailer [edited]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/L2bQGSIRuCQ/mqdefault.jpg)
![Roadshow Home Video / Village Roadshow Opening Logos & Promos
A comprehensive (but not definitive) collection of opening and closing logos from Roadshow Home Video and Village Roadshow Australia, mainly sourced from rental VHS cassettes. Also contains some promotional reels that featured on some of their home videos, both rental and sell-thru.
There are a few Village Roadshow Television logos towards the end of this video. Note that they also did television variants for the early Roadshow Home Video logos as well, but I unfortunately do not own any of them.
I realise this video is a bit repetitive. But I wanted to show you every single variation of the logos that I had available in my collection.
It is as follows:

Note: the television logos appeared prior to movies screened on the Nine Network in Australia. This is because Village Roadshow had an exclusive commercial arrangement with that network at the time for first run screenings of their movies.
