Looks like an Australian video poster and no haven't seen it before.

David

OK Captain Obvious...what I SHOULD have said is: has anyone seen one of the Australian Advance Video posters before...

Mark

I've seen that one before.

From memory Cinema International Corp (CIC) became United International Pictures (UIP) around 1981. They retained the old company's initials for their video division as seen on the poster. At one stage the logo changed to CIC Taft, at least for the Aussie arm.

David

Yes you can read about CIC here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIC_Video

and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_International_Corporation

bought by Murdoch in 1986 and "CIC-Fox video arm was renamed "CIC-Taft" for releasing titles from Paramount and Universal" 

As near as I can date it - 1989?

Mark

You can get info on Aus video release dates at the office of film & lit classification site. 

The VHS collectors are passionate, but I have found that the popular cinema titles don't always carry over. They seem to go in for a lot of horror & obscure stuff. I think Ari is up on the whole scene.

Haha!

Rick

Yep, got one of these.

David

But do you have THIS version?

The untrimmed version...

Would have to check. I seem to recall it has the same CIC logo and coming soon, can't remember a border.

Lucky I still have a copy. Sadly i sold all my spare Back to the Futures but then never got paid for them.

At least i have a copy of everything.
