High Quality Film & Video (Warning Screens)

1st Warning (1986-1988)

Warning: On a green background, we see a rainbow colored line on the left, and next to it, we see the black box with the word "HARDCORE VIDEO" in spaced-out letters, in a computerized font, with a white border. Below it, the following text in black types in:

ADVERTENCIA:

O DOMESTICO EXCLUSIVAMENTE.

Then the text disappears to make room for the following text typing:
