  • It appears on VHS tapes of Guild's first cinema releases, such as Cliffhanger, Last Exit to Brooklyn, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Fourth War, Universal Soldier and Rambo III.
  • The later music variant was found on a trailer for Bad Lieutenant, which was seen on the Blu-ray release from Fabulous Films.
