Opening consists of a black screen with white lettering that says "Based on an actual events." There was a detailed letter explaining where and how to place this black leader and a word of caution against cutting off any soundtrack at the beginning. Be careful when placing your lights up cue. There is some on-screen narration before the credits. Lights should go up at "Directed by Ridley Scott. Seeing how they took so much care in how the beginning was handled, it seems odd that they didnt point out this ending as well.  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L. Johnson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 809 From: Cleveland, Ohio, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-18-2002 09:38 PM                        I prefer to have the lights up cue at the start of the scrolling credits after Ridley's dedication to his mum. And ideally the lights would stay down until the rating tag at the end.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 05-14-2002 05:51 AM                     Has a lot of Full length Studio logo animations at the end. UK prints have a BBFC rationg card at the head of reel 1 so no letter or extra black leader is included.  |  IP: Logged
