1st Warning
(1982-1983)

Roadshow Home Video/Entertainment Warning Screen - CLG WikiRoadshow Home Video/Entertainment Warning Screen - CLG WikiRoadshow Home Video/Entertainment Warning Screen - CLG Wiki
Warning: On a pink background, we see "WARNING" in red. Australian warning text scrolls up, in white. The phrases "FOR PRIVATE HOME USE ONLY" and "IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED" are in a bolder font and in red.

FX/SFX: The scrolling of the warning text.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Seen on Roadshow Home Video releases of the period, including The Fifth Musketeer, Mad Max, and Gallipoli.

Scare Factor: Low, due to the jarring cut from black (which may hurt your eyes if you aren't used to it).



2nd Warning
(1983-1986)

Warning: On a yellow background, we see "WARNING" in red. Different Australian warning text scrolls up, in white. The text is then capped off with the big words, "STRICTLY PROHIBITED", in the same size, color, and font as "WARNING".

Variation: On Lorimar releases, the background is black, and "WARNING"/"STRICTLY PROHIBITED" is yellow.

FX/SFX: The scrolling of the warning text.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Roadshow Home Video releases of the period, including First Blood, Heatwave, and The Terminator.

Scare Factor: Low, due to the jarring cut from black (which may hurt your eyes if you aren't used to it). The black background variant is a little easier on the eyes.




3rd Warning
(1986-1988)

Scare Factor: None.
