Trailer for an Australian film, under its alternative title.
Director: Karl Zwicky
Starred: Craig Pearce, Kelly Dingwall, Tamblyn Lord
Aka: Vicious!
DVD: Not available
Note: This was a trailer that featured on CBS Fox videos in the late 1980s. However, it was not apparently released on the label. Instead, the film was re-cut with 5 extra minutes of footage, and released as 'To Make a Killing', by RCA/Columbia/Hoyts. It was also known under the title 'Vicious'.

The start and end of a Macro Entertainment home video. It was a sub-label of Thorn EMI video in Australia.
One of the trailers had to be edited due to sex and nudity, as these are not allowed on YouTube due to their community guidelines.
The video is as follows:
* Opening logo
* Copyright scroll
* Wheels of Terror (aka: The Misfit Brigade - 1987) - trailer
* The Girl (1987) - trailer [edited]
* Other previews advice
* The very start and end of the film
* Macro preview advice
* They Still Call Me Bruce (1987) - trailer
* Race Against the Harvest (aka: American Harvest - 1987) - trailer
* Miles to Go... (1986)
* Closing logo
Note: all the visual flaws appear to have been on the master tape itself, as there were no flaws with the video cassette tape. Macro Entertainment: from Eleven Days Eleven Nights (1987)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q85W8QA-ims/mqdefault.jpg)

![MEDA Home Entertainment Ident [1978 - USA]
Opening logo for an American home video distributor, from 1978. MEDA was the pre-cursor to the Media label that followed it in the early 1980s. These tapes are very rare now. Quality is limited because the tape is over 30 years old.
MEDA was distributed throughout Australia and New Zealand by a company called Video Classics, which was one of the first home video distributors in this part of the world. The logo was sourced from one of their releases and is PAL tweaked.
This was taken from The Day of the Triffids (1962). Other films distributed by this label in the late 1970s include:
* Reefer Madness (1936)
* Flesh Gordon (1974)
* Halloween (1978)
* The Groove Tube (1974)
etc, etc
All of these were later re-released by Media (and Video Classics of course). MEDA Home Entertainment Ident [1978 - USA]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SN5W2PlzZSg/mqdefault.jpg)
