* The video game <u>''Lair'' for PlayStation 3</u> uses the same variant from 2005 until the logo finishes, the creatures from the game run under the URL for THX (www.THX.com), and this trailer immediately segues into the Factor 5 logo. During said Factor 5 logo, the last "Moo" sound can still be heard.

* A full-screen version exists (the entire trailer is letterboxed except for the tagline card "The Best Sound, The Best Picture. You're Watching a THX Certified Feature." is in fullscreen), this is only used for both the <u>US VHS, the United Kingdom (Region 2) & the Australian (Region 4) rental DVD release for ''Monsters''</u>'', Inc.''

* On the <u>''THX Theatrical Trailers: The Audience is Listening''</u> and <u>the French-exclusive ''Les Années Laser THX Trailers'' DVDs</u>, as the tagline cuts to black, a piece of text "www.thx.com" appears fading in and out. It was apparently the same one used in all of the trailers featured in the ''THX Picture and Sound Optimizer'' disc albeit the copyright info being blacked out.

'''Visuals:''' The first element shown is a pitch-black screen, but then there is the words "THE SCIENCE OF SENSATION" (in capital letters) coming at the viewer each two words at a time (like the "Broadway 2000" trailer) and as a {{color|darkviolet|purple}} flare appears under the 'O', the words suddenly fade out by spreading apart. Then, the THX logo and the text "CERTIFIED CINEMA" appears, with a faint shine where the 'O' used to be. The logo shines with a flare coming down on the "T". WWW.THX.COM and the copyright at the bottom appear.
'''Visuals:''' On a black background, the white text "THE SCIENCE" fades in, the letters of which slowly come together. As that text turns black with a white drop shadow, "OF SENSATION" blurs in below and zooms in, with a {{Color|purple}} flare appearing under the "O" in "OF". The text fades out, leaving the flare behind. Then, the THX logo appears with the text "CERTIFIED CINEMA" below, with the flare moving along the bottom of the logo. The logo then fades out, with the flare following suit a second later. The URL "WWW.THX.COM" fades in as copyright information is seen below.


'''Trivia:''' This trailer was originally created for use with digital cinema projectors, not only for the use of the tagline, but also including a flare so it can immerse the viewer with a sharper and cleaner picture in the auditorium before a film would start.
