'''Visuals:''' On a background of changing colors ({{color
'''Trivia:''' On the 1981 stereo release of ''Apocalypse Now'', this is actually considered part of the feature for some reason.
'''Variants:'''
* There is an early variation of this warning, where the text is smaller, in {{color|gold|yellow}} instead of white, and in a different font (Blippo Bold), with another period that the normal version does not contain, following the word "HOMES". This was used until 1984.
* Some releases of black and white films used a variant of either of the two warnings that were in these exact colors.
* On ''The Animated Adventures of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek - Vol. 5'' VHS (and most likely on other volumes as well), the warning text is in a Times New Roman font and is now set against a color-changing gradient background.
* A Japanese version exists.
'''Technique:'''
'''Audio:''' None.
'''Availability:''' Seen on all releases from this era.
*The Bauhaus variant can be seen on tapes including later prints of the original release of ''Grease''. The variant is also spotted on ''Star Trek'' Paramount tapes from the 1980s (with "Paramount HOME VIDEO" on the side and the Gulf+Western print mountain on the other). The last release to use this warning was ''The Accused''.
*This was spotted on the 1991 VHS of ''48 Hrs.'' and its 1993 reprint, as well as the 1992 VHS of ''Pretty in Pink''.
*This remained in print on some tapes well into the 21st century, as demonstrated by a 2001 printing of ''The Longest Yard'' (1974 version) and a 2002 pressing of ''The Bridges at Toko-Ri''.
*The Japanese version was spotted on a VHS of ''Roman Holiday''.

'''Visuals:''' On a gradient {{color|blue}} wallpaper with copies of the Paramount logo all over it, there is the same warning text as the two before it in the ITC Korinna font (ITC Benguiat Medium for the Viacom version).
'''Background Colors:'''
* May 17-October 16, 1989: {{color|violet|Mauve}}/white gradient.
* November 9, 1989-December 27, 2008: {{color|darkblue|Dark blue}} gradient.
'''Bylines:'''
Line 94 ⟶ 103:
'''Variants:'''
* The Canadian version has the word "'''WARNING'''" in {{color|red}} underlined in white, along with modified warning text. Tapes from 1989-1995 have the text in a bolder sans-serif font.
* A French Canadian variant of the aforementioned version exists. This can be seen on most French Canadian Paramount VHS releases after Malofilm Video ceased distribution of Paramount titles in the language.{{AvailabilityExamples}}
* On tapes released in 2002 that used the 90th Anniversary Feature Presentation bumper, the background is completely {{color|blue}}. A Canadian version exists.
* On some S-VHS releases (such as ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'' and ''Top Gun''), a mixed-case Foundation Sans Light font is used. Not all S-VHS releases used this variant, however (such as ''Ghost'') - they instead used the regular variant.
* There are B&W variants for both the Gulf+Western and Paramount Communications versions.
* On the 1998 VHS of ''Titanic'', the 1991 VHS of ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'', the 1991
* On PBS tapes released by Paramount, the background is completely black. A Canadian version exists as well.
* Some PBS releases feature the warning on a {{color|darkviolet|purple}} gradient background, with the text in a similar bolder font without the shadow.
Line 107 ⟶ 115:
* Two Academy screener variants exist, both telling viewers that the tape is being loaned for the purpose of personal review. The earlier variant was spotted on an Academy screener tape of ''Shaft'' (the 2000 remake), while the later variant was spotted on an Academy screener of ''Alfie'' (the 2004 remake).
'''Technique:'''
'''Audio:''' None, not counting the fade out of the Paramount fanfare on most releases.
Line 115 ⟶ 123:
*Four known tapes precede the text with "A warning appears": Rena Baskin on ''Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home'' and ''The Ten Commandments'' (1956), Nick Mills on ''El Dorado'', and Peter Haydu on ''Clear and Present Danger''.
'''Availability:''' Appears on all Paramount VHS and LaserDisc releases from the first release of ''Coming to America'' onward. It usually follows the feature presentation bumper of the era.
* The Gulf+Western variant
* The Paramount Communications version could also be seen with the next warning screen on 1990-1992 [[Prism Entertainment (Warning
* The demo tape variant and the Academy screener variant are among the rarest. The demo variant made its first appearance on the 1992 demo VHS of ''Necessary Roughness'', while the screener variant is known to appear on the tapes mentioned above, and may possibly appear on other Academy screeners.
'''Legacy:''' Akin to the 6th, 8th, and 9th Disney warning screens and the 1st and 2nd Fox warning screens, this is also one of the most recognizable warning screens.

'''Trivia:'''
*When this warning was introduced, most of its appearances were at the start of discs. Starting in 2005-06, on mainline Paramount discs it was moved to the end, although it still appeared at the front of releases from the company's other labels, as well as new editions of older films from 2005-07 such as ''Witness'', ''Clueless'', ''The Truman Show'', ''Funny Face'', ''Breakfast at Tiffany's'', and ''Coming to America'' (mainly on DVD; most Blu-ray releases have the warning at the end), and it is also at the front of the bonus features discs on some Blu-rays and, starting with ''Downsizing'' in 2018, some newer DVDs and Blu-rays (by 2021 this was almost all releases), as well as some UHDs with more languages apart from English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish (
*On the 2006 DVD of ''Mission: Impossible II'', the 1998 version appears on the first disc (which is a reprint of the original 2000 DVD), while disc 2 uses the 2002 version.
Line 152 ⟶ 161:
* On CBS Blu-ray releases from Paramount, such as the 2016 release of ''A Boy Named Charlie Brown'', the background is black. This version has the text formatted differently. The 2012-14 ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' Blu-rays have a variant of this, these releases use the font on that series' LCARS computer displays.
'''Technique:'''
'''Audio:''' None.
Line 161 ⟶ 170:
* Both versions of this warning screen have made appearances on some PBS VHS releases from Paramount in place of the previous one.
* Starting in early 2013 with ''Paranormal Activity 4'', Paramount DVDs (except those of Nickelodeon/Nick Jr. shows) use the next warning, though from early 2013 to 2018 this was placed at the end. Starting in late 2018, this warning began to appear at the beginning again (though the positions traded for a few years).
* This does not appear on the 2019 DVD of ''Wonder Park'', as the 2nd British warning is

'''Opening Visuals:''' The 1986-2003 Paramount logo animates, then it backs away revealing itself on the inside of a VCR. Some tape appears with the word "WARNING" scrolling on it. The screen cuts to several shots, in sync with the music. The screen cuts to one more shot that lasts in the rest of the warning. The warning text appears below in the ITC Coundit font.
'''Closing Visuals:''' At the end of the tape, more detailed warning text appears scrolling up like the credits of a movie. Once again, the scrolling text on the reel of tape reads "WARNING".
'''Variant:''' On rental releases from this time period, the earlier part of the warning is followed by several more shots, cutting to another long shot that is identical to the closing version except that the scrolling text on the reel of tape instead reads "PIRACY WARNING". The text below this, in the same font as before, reads as follows:
<center>Beware of illegal video cassettes.</center>
<center>Check whether this video cassette carries a</center>
<center>genuine label hologram.</center>
<center>Video piracy is a crime, do not accept it, demand a</center>
<center>genuine cassette from your video store.</center>

'''Technique:''' CGI.
'''Audio:''' An abridged version of "Smoko Loco" by Dust Devil, with the sounds of the VCR as a background noise. The end of the tape only has the VCR sounds.

'''Availability:''' Seen on ''The Core'', ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' VHS tapes, ''Clockstoppers'', ''The Wild Thornberrys Movie'', ''Rugrats Go Wild'', ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'', and the 2004 remake of ''Alfie'', among others.

On the original 1980 VHS of North Dallas Forty, this appears right before the first scene of the film.
Visuals: On a background of changing colors (green, yellow, red, pink, purple, blue and green again) a la the 1989-2005 MGM/UA Home Video logo is the same text as the previous warning in large white lettering, except it is missing the first period and the comma, in ITC Serif Gothic.

Opening Visuals: The 1986-2003 Paramount logo animates, then it backs away revealing itself on the inside of a VCR. Some tape appears with the word "WARNING" scrolling on it. The screen cuts to several shots, in sync with the music. The screen cuts to one more shot that lasts in the rest of the warning. The warning text appears below in the ITC Coundit font.
Closing Visuals: At the end of the tape, more detailed warning text appears scrolling up like the credits of a movie. Once again, the scrolling text on the reel of tape reads "WARNING".
Variant: On rental releases from this time period, the earlier part of the warning is followed by several more shots, cutting to another long shot that is identical to the closing version except that the scrolling text on the reel of tape instead reads "PIRACY WARNING". The text below this, in the same font as before, reads as follows:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: An abridged version of "Smoko Loco" by Dust Devil, with the sounds of the VCR as a background noise. The end of the tape only has the VCR sounds.
Audio Variant: The rental version of the opening has a longer version of the same, with announcer John Sachs reading out the anti-piracy notice (albeit without uttering the acronym).
Availability: Seen on The Core, SpongeBob SquarePants VHS tapes, Clockstoppers, The Wild Thornberrys Movie, Rugrats Go Wild, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, and the 2004 remake of Alfie, among others.
