Main article: Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Warning Screens/United States of America and Canada

Europe, Oceania and CIS

United Kingdom and Ireland

1980–1982

Warning: Almost the same as the first Magnetic Video warning, except it's on a blue background, and the text is smaller and slightly altered.

Variants:

• On later pre-cert releases, the warning text is not entirely in capitals and is different.
  • The 1982 UK VHS of Paul Simon: Live in Concert featured a black outline around the text in a slightly different font.

FX/SFX: None, unless you count the cut to the first Warner Home Video logo on the later variant.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Ultra rare. Seen on the very first UK VHS tapes from WCI Home Video and Warner Home Video, including Superman II, Klute, and Paul Simon: Live in Concert.

1981–2006

Warning: On a blue background, the following text scrolls up in small print:

Warning. The copyright proprietor has licensed the film (including its soundtrack) comprised in this video cassette for home use only. All other rights are reserved. The definition of home use excludes the use of this video cassette at locations such as Clubs, Coaches, Hospitals, Hotels, Oil Rigs, Prisons and Schools. Any unauthorised copying, editing, exhibition, renting, exchanging, hiring, lending, public performance, diffusion and/or broadcast of this video cassette or any part thereof is strictly prohibited and any such action establishes liability for a civil action and may give rise to criminal prosecution. This video cassette is sold/hired on the condition that it is not to be sold, hired, exported, re-supplied or distributed by way of trade outside the EEC without a proper licence from Warner Home Video, Inc.

Variants:

• On early tapes, the text is shorter and scrolls at a faster rate. Also, a duplication screen appears either before or after it reading:

This video cassette was duplicated by Rank
Phicom Video Duplication on behalf of
Warner Home Video and with their approval.

• On pre-cert rental tapes, different text is used.
• On early post-cert releases, another duplication notice appears right before the "standard" warning text reading:

This video cassette was duplicated by
Rank Video Duplication on behalf of
Warner Home Video and with their approval.

• On late 1980s-early 1990s rental tapes, a different duplication screen appears after the warning finished. We start out with 3-D stars rotating and turning 2-D on a dark blue background. Then the following text wipes in:

THIS VIDEO CASSETTE
HAS BEEN DUPLICATED BY
RANK VIDEO SERVICES
ON BEHALF OF
WARNER HOME VIDEO
WITH THEIR APPROVAL

Finally, the Rank gong man with the words "Part of the Rank Organisation" appears below zooming up and it shines.

• On 1990 and 1995 tapes, the background is dark bluish-purple.
• On 1996-late 1998 tapes, the background is dark blue, the warning text is in a different font, the word "WARNING" is now uppercase, bold, and slightly italicised and the bottom text altered.
• Starting in late 1998, the background becomes either darker or brighter, the warning text is in Arial font and in two paragraphs, a colon is placed next to "WARNING" and the bottom text is altered and placed in the second warning paragraph.

FX/SFX: The text scrolling. The fourth variant has CGI for the stars and the Rank gong man, and the text typing in in 2-D.

Music/Sounds: None usually, but at the end of the UK VHS releases of Octopussy and Purple Rain, the films' respective closing songs ("All Time High" by Rita Coolidge and "Baby, I'm a Star" by Prince) play over the warning.

Music/Sound Variant: At the end of the 2003 UK VHS release of Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf (1988), you can faintly hear the music from the 1986 The Video Collection logo.

Availability: Extremely common. Seen on British VHS and Beta cassettes by Warner Home Video, MGM/UA Home Video, Warner Vision International, Warner Reprise Video, HBO Home Entertainment, Mosaic Home Entertainment, Icon Film Distribution, Helkon SK and Redbus Film Distribution/Home Entertainment. Until 1986, the warning appeared at the start of the tape, such as on Gremlins, Risky Business, and The Man with Two Brains. After 1986, it only appeared at the end, such as on South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Swimfan, Bend it Like Beckham, Ronin, GoldenEye, Ocean's Eleven, Jeepers Creepers, Bless the Child, And Your Mother Too, The Powerpuff Girls Movie, Under Siege, The Miracle Maker, The Gift, Under Suspicion (2000), Risky Business, Pokémon: The First Movie, The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot, The Iron Giant, The Witches, Scooby-Doo: The Movie, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Addams Family Reunion, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Angel Street, Babylon 5, Batman of the Future: Return of the Joker, Batman of the Future: School Dayz, Bed of Lies, The Bodyguard, Brother Future, By Dawn's Early Light, Cabin Fever, Cast a Deadly Spell, Citizen Cohn, Class Act, Clean and Sober, Dangerous Liaisons, Dark Justice, The Delinquents, Driving Miss Daisy, The Drug Wars: The Camarena Story, El Diablo, Everybody's All American, The Face of Fear, Final Pulse, The Flash (1990), Frankenstein Unbound, Free Willy 1-3, Goodfellas, The Graduate, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Hard to Kill, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966), I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!, The Image (1990), Impulse (1990), In Country, Lean on Me, Lisa (1989), Maverick, Men Don't Leave, A Mother's Justice, Murder in Mississippi, Naked Tango, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Other's People Money, A Pair of Aces, Perfect Witness, Pink Cadillac, Police Academy 3-7, Relentless, Road House, Romero, Santa Claus: The Movie, Stolen Hearts, Tango & Cash, Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Travelling Man, We Were Soldiers, Welcome Home, Whale Rider, Without Her Consent and Young Einstein among others. One of the last releases to have it at the front is the rental VHS of Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (which was also one of the first to feature the Warner Home Video "Cheesy Shield" logo). The mid-1990s combo VHS of Bloodsport and Cyborg, however, didn't feature a warning screen at any point throughout the cassette!

Editor's Note: Although some words are needlessly capitalized on earlier variants, and "editing" is mentioned a la the HBO Video warnings, it's otherwise an acceptable warning screen.

1989

Warning: On a sky blue background almost like that of the 2nd USA/Canada warning, we see warning text which is still, then scrolls in a cycle that repeats every several seconds.

Variant: Depending on whether the tape is a retail or rental version, the text is different.

FX/SFX: The text's scrolling-and-stopping cycle.

Music/Sounds: Mark Roman (the same one that read the 1991-94 F.A.C.T anti-piracy advice) reads the text.

Availability: Extremely rare, definitely compared to the previous UK warning screen. Exclusively seen on the original 1989 UK retail and rental VHS releases of Rain Man.

Editor's Note: Same as the last warning.

1999–present

Warning: On a black background, we see the red word "WARNING", and below it is the same international warning text from the 1999 revision of the second UK warning screen in white. The text changes multiple times in different languages (with the name of the country above it; see other multilanguage warnings descripted below).

Trivia: This warning screen later became a basis for international warning screens of other companies like 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and Buena Vista Home Entertainment (by replacing all instances of the "Warner Home Video" name with their respective names).

Variants:

• Some very early DVD releases, such as South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, have "UK & IRELAND" replace "WARNING". The warning text is also arranged differently.
• Some Blu-ray releases have "UK AND IRELAND" replace "WARNING". The warning text is also arranged differently.
• On some DVDs, "WARNING" is in a scarlet Arial font instead of a red Helvetica font.

FX/SFX: None, but the text changes languages in a split second.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on UK/Irish DVDs after the main feature, such as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Laura's Star. However, this can be seen on most DVDs and Blu-rays around the world, with the exception of the United States. However, the Blu-ray warning is shown in some U.S. DVDs with its multiple languages, but only on re-releases of older films and a few newer releases, making the warning screen hard to find.

Editor's Note: Same as the 2nd warning.

May 25, 2020

Warning: Same as the British Universal warning screens.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appears on the 2020 Warner Bros/Universal DVD/Blu-ray/4K UHD of Just Mercy.
