Railroad Films

Background: Railroad Films (formerly Railroad Home Video and Railroad Home Entertainment) was founded as another sub-label of Star/Breil Video to release cheaply-produced movies and TV shows on video. As of 2004,this company was no longer part of Breil Entertainment Group and Breil Home Entertainment. In 2009 Railroad Home Entertainment was caught in a controversial lawsuit when they released the NC-17-rated movie There's Fire in my Coffee on DVD. Railroad Home Entertainment lost the lawsuit on May 15, 2010. They lost so much money they became defunct the next day and the movie was removed from stores and banned from being re-released on the same day, even for other many companies around. But on July 15th, 2010, which was two months later, KB Charge Holdings bought the defunct Railroad, which eventually restored Railroad and the newly restored, rebranded, and renamed Railroad Films, along with KB Charge Films, created a film called My Coffee is on Fire!, a extremely less inappropriate remake of There's Fire In My Coffee, which will probably be rated PG-13, if not, R, and will hit theaters in 2012. It is not known when it will be released on Solaray.

1st Logo

(1987-1996)

Logo: On a sky background we see a grassy field with a railroad track. Suddenly, a train passes by. The train then stops in the middle. After that, we zoom out to reveal that it is in a black box on a white background. Then, the words "RAILROAD HOME VIDEO" in the Slyfaen font fade in below. Afterwards, the Breil Entertainment Group byline in the 20th Century Fox logo font fades in below "RAILROAD HOME VIDEO".

FX: The train passing by, the zooming, "RAILROAD HOME VIDEO" and the byline fading in.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral fanfare. Sometimes train sounds may be heard.

Availability: Ultra rare, seen on the company's VHS releases of the time. Railroad's releases have since became out-of-print.

Scare Factor: None.

Variants:


 * In 2004,the Breil Entertainment byline wasn't present due to a break-up with the Breil Entertainment Group (see above)

3rd Logo:

(July 24th, 2010-)

Logo: We see a live action train station and it's surroundings. A live action train then pulls up to the station, with the text "RAILROAD FILMS" on it's front. When the train stops, the text comes straight forward at us. The byline "a KB CHARGE company" fades in below.

FX/SFX: Mostly live action, but the text movement counts.

Variant:There is a prototype version only seen on the website and films from 2012-2018. The byline is in a different font and the URL is below the byline.

Music/Sounds: Sounds that go with this logo.
