RKO (Radio-Keith-Orpheum) Pictures is an American film production company.\n\nRKO was formed in 1928 as a combination of the Keith-Albee-Orpheum (KAO) theater chains, Joe Kennedy's Film Booking Office of America (FBO) studio, the American Pathé film studio, and the Radio Corporation of America's Photophone division. Kennedy had bought FBO in 1925, and taken control of KAO and its subsidiary, American Pathé, in 1927. RCA, hoping to join in the sound-film boom, approached Kennedy about using Photophone for FBO pictures; from this came further talks, and the creation of the Radio-Keith-Orpheum holding company, announced in October, 1928.\n\ni gave the link because maybe they wanted to see the info for themselves

What exactly do you mean?\n\nThe "overall influence" IN Hollywood...(i.e, their "motivation")...?\n\nOr...do you mean...\n\nThe "overall influence" OF Hollywood...(i.e., influence on the world)...?\n\nEDIT:  Thank you - I think I fixed the problem - I was linked to a very old e-mail address that no longer exists.\n\nI'm sure there is some effect worldwide....I wish this was not true.  It would be like me drawing conclusions about India from "Bollywood" musicals.\n\nIt is unfortunate that movies have this kind of power....but - it's there.

Looks like a bunch of folks here are just looking for points... \n\nThe person asking the question knows that "K" means strikeout. \n\nSo what's with the one-word answer 'strikeout'... lazy-a** people out there...\n\nYes, "K" is the official scoring symbol for strikeout, since "S" was already being used to denote a sacrifice.

The credits should have a copyright date.  If not, you could google/yahoo search the title of the film, or search the studio that produced it.

You won't be able to find that information online anywhere. You can contact the studios individually and ask.

It does ring a bell!  I remember watching a lot of weird japanese stuff like Thundercats, and movies like Heavy Metal in the 80s. Just opened the 'official' StarBlazers website below and the theme tune blasted around the office.... that was a tad embarassing.
