Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (Warning Screens)

1st Warning (January 1980-September 15, 1981)
Warning: On a black background, we see a black square on the left, with the FBI logo in white with "FBI" in a somewhat different font, kind of skinny. On the right, we see a white box (with a rounded right side) with "WARNING" in red and generic warning text below "WARNING".

Variant: On 10, the warning screen faded to the Orion Pictures logo.

FX/SFX: None, except on 1980-1981 releases when this cuts right to the WCI/WHV logo.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: On all WCI/Warner Home Video releases from 1980-1981, such as Dirty Harry and All the President's Men. One of its last appearances was on the 1981 release of Love at First Bite.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Warning (September 15, 1981-December 2004)
Warning: On a black background, we see a black square on the left with the standard FBI logo in white, and the generic "$250,000" warning text in a white box on the right with the red word "WARNING" on the top.

Trivia: Unlike most other major and mini-major studios, Warner Home Video never used a Spanish version of this warning screen.

Variants:
 * On some tapes, a "shadow" effect on the "WARNING" text has been spotted.
 * On some tapes from 1981-1986, the whole thing was on a white background (Title 17, United Stats Code, Section 506 version)
 * There is another version in which the FBI seal was slightly larger and the right side of the white box was rounded.
 * There is a smoother version that faded in and out intact, apparently from a character generator, with a bolder "FBI" lettering and cleaner text, on some tapes.
 * On Avalanche Express, the warning screen faded out.
 * Another version appears to be digitally generated, with thin, spaced-out "FBI" text.
 * There is also a version where the whole thing is on a blue background.
 * On the 1983 laserdisc of Risky Business, "WARNING" is in a wider font, and everything is in black, but "FBI", the seal, "WARNING" and the warning text (Title 17, United States Code, Section 506 version) is in white.
 * Shout! Factory DVD Releases also used this, except the FBI seal is colored.
 * On BWE Video releases, "FBI" is spaced out.
 * Chronicle Videocassettes has a taped version that shows "FBI" in a bolder font and the warning text ("$250,000" version) & header in a different font, and fades in and out.
 * Pioneer, Allied Artists Classics (which peels up all sides into the logo) & MPI Home Video, and Reel to Reel Ministries (which lack the FBI seal) use versions that have slightly different text arrangements and a color FBI seal.

FX/SFX: None, but this cuts right to the WHV (on 1981-1985 releases) or Embassy Home Entertainment (see below) logo.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: On all Warner Home Video releases from 1981-2004, beginning with most releases from the September 1981 batch (including Tales of Terror). Also seen on some tapes released by Strand/VCI and the Video Collection, as well as certain Orion Home Video, Diamond Entertainment and later Magnum Entertainment releases. The "shadow" version was exclusive to Rhino Home Video releases. The version with the white background can be found on Mean Streets, Superman II, The Enforcer, and Death Wish II, as well as other WHV titles on VHS and Beta from 1981-1986, a few from Embassy Home Entertainment (including the 1983 release of Carbon Copy), VCI Home Video (including Pinocchio with Sandy Duncan and Danny Kaye), and RKO Home Video. The white background variation can also be seen on some VHS re-releases such as the 1986 release of The Road Warrior. The rounded right side version was intact on certain Orion Home Video releases and several Warner Reprise Video/Warner Music Vision releases, as well as Shapiro Glickenhaus Home Video releases by Southgate Entertainment. The smoother version that faded in and out was sighted on Hemdale Home Video releases. The digitally generated version is rare, and was only seen on DVDs released between November-December 2004, such as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, A Home at the End of the World, A Cinderella Story, and the Volume 3 DVD set of Adult Swim's Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The blue background version can be found on MTM Home Video releases and a few Random House Home Video releases. The Shout! Factory Version with a colored FBI Seal was on some Shout! Factory DVDs such as Sonic the Hedgehog: The Complete Series DVD and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3: The Complete Series DVD. This warning is also seen on VideoTec releases, such as the 1992 screener VHS of Tugs: Munitions & Pirates. This also made a surprise appearance on the MGM/UA Home Video Laserdisc Sampler from 1990 and on the 1982 CBS/FOX Video CED release of Alien.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Warning (1982-)
AV8xQJUpof8

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: At the end of all DVD releases from Warner Home Video, up to the present day.

Editor's Note: None.

6th Warning (2000)
Warning: The bumper starts with a montage of scenes from Batman: The Animated Series, featuring Batman looking over Gotham City and springing into action. As Batman leaps down toward the viewer, his cape covers the screen and reveals a warning screen. On the left is a silhouette of Batman in front of a red moon (from the show's closing credits), while on the right is the warning text (with "Times New Roman" in a Times font and the rest in an Arial font) situated between the open gates of Wayne Manor.

FX/SFX: There are clouds moving left to right on the warning screen.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt of Shirley Walker's score for Batman: The Animated Series.

Editor's Note: This is an entertaining and creative warning screen.

7th Warning (2000)
Warning: The bumper starts with a scene from Superman: The Animated Series, in which Superman flies above the city of Metropolis. After Superman flies into the camera, the scene cuts to a black screen with a red, fuzzy version of Superman's trademark "S"-shield slowly zooming in. Superimposed over the screen is the standard warning text in a digital-looking font, which appears as if a computer screen was being turned on.

FX/SFX: The warning text appearing, and the "S"-shield zooming in.

Music/Sounds: A shortened version of Shirley Walker's theme from Superman: The Animated Series.

Availability: Only known to appear on My Dog Skip.

Editor's Note: Like the previous warning, this one is very entertaining.

In the box is the following: on top is the no symbol (a red circle with a diagonal line) which has "SUPPORT ANTI-PIRACY" in very small white letters on the circle. Inside it is "PIRACY" in white. Below that is "5 YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON", in gold with a line below, and at the bottom, also in gold, is "FINES OF $250,000" with a line above it. Each is sandwiching a big red "WARNING". Over the word "WARNING" is some warning text in white.

However, some releases, such as Saints: Road to XLIV used the 8th warning. Although it no longer appears on movie releases, it is still used on releases of television shows such as Adventure Time.

Editor's Note: None.

1st Warning (1980s-2004)
Warning: On a blue background, white warning text scrolls up in smaller print.

Variants:
 * Around 1981-1982, the warning text was on a simple static screen.
