TUGS/Intro

The TUGS opening theme was composed by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell. It has three variants of the intro. The first is the early variant used in the Sizzle Reel. The second being identical to the Sizzle Reel but slightly revised with slightly extended footage with both the establishing and closing shot. The extended night time footage and title card were also removed. The third is the variant used during early releases on VHS, and the fourth is the variant used for TV broadcasts and late VHS releases.
