Description: If you lived in the greater Northeastern United States in the '80s and '90s, Video King Superstore was most likely your first destination to rent the latest movies on VHS. The first thing you noticed walking into a Video King store was the smell of the complementary hot, buttered popcorn, a favorite of kids accompanying their parents. The rest of the store was pretty standard fare — wall-to-wall videos organized by category, a few toys and collectibles, and eventually, video game rentals. In the early 2000s, as video stores began to buckle under pressure from online video streaming, Video King cut their massive stores in half and dropped 'Superstore' from their name, but this was short-lived, with the chain ultimately closing up for good.
Description: In December 1977, George Atkinson spent approximately $3,000 to buy one Betamax and one VHS copy of each of the 50 available movie titles from Magnetic Video, which were then being sold to the public by direct mail. He announced the availability of the videos for rent in the local newspaper under the business name 'Video for Rent' along with a coupon for readers to fill out and mail in. Atkinson renamed his operation 'The Video Station' and opened what would be the first professionally managed video rental store in a 600 square foot storefront on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. In order to raise capital, Atkinson charged $50 for an annual membership and $100 for a lifetime, which provided the opportunity to rent the videos at a discount.
Description: Jayne Mansfield sings an updated version of Guided Missiles (by the Cuff Links) in this scopitone. Mansfield performed this song in a 1965 movie called Missilewoman, in which she plays Lee Hamilton Junior, a woman who, through a series of accidents, is drafted and is eventually assigned to a Nike Hercules missile site where she is nominated to be Miss Nike! Hilarity ensues.
