At the end, the clapperboard claps.

 * A variant of the "FEATURE PRESENTATION" version has the text "Times New Roman" on a dark blue background with a line in the center, then "Feature Presentation" wiping in word-for-word in a cursive font on the clapboard before it claps.

It also appears on an alternate VHS print of the original release of Die Hard (other prints instead use the third ID).

2nd Bumper (1987, Star Wars Variant)
Visuals: The 3rd CBS/Fox Video logo animates as normal, but then once it finishes, it electrocutes, and then the viewer's screen goes to a space background. An X-Wing from the original Star Wars trilogy flies from the bottom of the screen, and centers itself on it, before doing a barrel roll and zooming off into the distance. Then, another X-Wing appears from the bottom left of the screen. It shoots at an asteroid that zooms in, also from the top right of the screen. The asteroid explodes, and then a white sphere comes in (again, from the top right) and positions itself on the center of the screen, while the Star Wars logo, in silver, zooms out and settles on it. A ring, also silver, with the text "THE FIRST TEN YEARS" appears, sparkling in the process. Then, two small rectangles (yet again silver) position themselves on both sides of the ring, with the one on the left containing the year that Star Wars was first released (1977), and the one on the right containing the year of the trilogy's 10th anniversary (1987). The completed Star Wars 10th Anniversary logo then sparkles, as the space background continues to slowly move past, before the bumper freezes, and then fades out.

Variant: There is a variant before the movie begins which just has the Star Wars 10th Anniversary logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: It begins with a few notes of the trilogy's end credits theme, and then an electrical zap sound. Then, there is a whooshing sound, followed by a note that is being held, along with other sound effects that accompany the actions. After that is an additional six notes of music, and then it ends with Bill St. James saying "CBS/Fox Video is proud to present a preview of the complete Star Wars trilogy." The variant just has St. James saying "And now, for our feature presentation."

Availability: It was seen on the 1987 re-releases of the Star Wars trilogy.
