NTA Home Entertainment and Republic Pictures Home Video Warning Screens

1st Warning (1983-1998)


Warning: On a red/coral pink background, we see a large black square on the left with the standard FBI logo in white, and the generic Title 17 501 & 506 text in a large white box on the right with the red word "WARNING" on the top. Similar to the second Warner Home Video warning.

FX/SFX: None. It should be noted that DVDs use a screen-freeze of this warning.

Music/Sounds: None.

Music/Sounds Variations:
 * On the 1983 VHS of All-Star Cartoon Parade, the warning starts of silent, but then the 1968 Commonwealth United jingle starts to play (and continues into the NTA Home Entertainment logo).
 * On 1980s releases of Hoppity Goes to Town, this warning, and the NTA Home Entertainment/Republic Pictures Home Video logo that follows it, plaster over the 5th NTA logo, leaving its music to play over both.

Availability: Seen on NTA Home Entertainment and Republic Pictures Home Video releases before Artisan Entertainment took over the video rights in 1998, although the 1998 DVD of It's a Wonderful Life shows this after the THX logo. Makes a surprise appearance on Roku Channel's print of Highlander II: The Quickening, which is a 4:3 pan-and-scan master of the original theatrical cut. This also appears on Harmony Gold's Macross Vol. 1.

Legacy: None.

Warning: Same as the 1993 PolyGram Video warning screen

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Republic Pictures DVDs, including Thinner.
