Surgeon General’s Warning: this movie’s intriguing premise and potentially interesting ethical questions will peter out and be replaced with an ending so simplistic and preachy it may result in nausea, headaches, and attempted suicide.

Product Disclaimer This Supa-Villain HideOut™ not guaranteed secure in presence of James Bond, Batman, Superman, or any other solo Goody Two-Shoes Hero.
If I understand First Contact correctly it’s even worse than that. They use force fields for windows! Power failure = explosive decompression of entire space ship!

WARNING: This product will not function in the presence of other such devices. You can only bring the one and that’s it.
CAUTION: FRAGILE
Subnote:

(On machetes, chainsaws, harpoons, wire hangers, big ass kitchen knives:)
“NOT TO BE TAKEN INTERNALLY”
On women’s shoes:
WARNING: Even if you are an Olympic hurdler, you WILL trip over the first pebble you encounter. In addition, you will NOT be able to outrun a zombie/outer-space creature/wounded axe-murderer moving at .001 MPH even if you are a world-class marathoner.
On firearms:
WARNING: You will fire all 11,465 rounds from your 8 round magazine with absolutely noresponse or effect, but when you throw your empty weapon your target will duck.
If I can make myself sit through the continuity conflicting(in ways both major and minor) First Contact again, I’ll have to check. However, numerous episodes state that the windows are transparent aluminum.
HOWEVER-The Taylons of Earth Final Conflict(which should itself carry a warning-Show features great writing and acting until it jumps the shark more violently than anybody ever has before.) did have ships whose exteriors were often partially made up of virtual glass-essentially forcefields. Power failures and malfunctions could expose sections to space.
Back To The OP
Warning-Aliens may be overtly hostile and dangerous. They may act friendly while secretly planning to eat you. They may be genuinely friendly but profoundly alien. Aliens may truly think that they’re making the earth a better place by removing our genitals and blasting Barry Manillow though mile long speakers.
Warning-Fancy lasers, ray guns, and military prototype energy weapons can suddenly run out of power.
Warning-If your experiments in Mad Science do not go amok and turn against you/infect you/vaporize the lab and you with it/or lead to your demise directly, it’s certain that a group of non-scientists will misunderstand your work and form a lynch mob.
Warning-Even if you avoid causing paradoxes, altering history, or becoming your own father, time travel situations may lead to massive confusion and headaches.
Warning-If you should realize that the bizzare stranger is actually Doctor Who, run away. If you leave him in a death trap, he’ll escape. If you leave him to be finished off by your minions, he’ll escape. If you attempt to kill him yourself, you stand a very slim chance of success. However, he will regenerate and be as large a threat as before.
Warning-Leaving cryptic clues for your superhero nemesis will not result in your winning a battle of wits and proof that you are an arch villian. It will just make it easier to catch you.(The ClueMaster realized this. He kept his name and gear, but no longer give cops or Batman clues.)
How about:
WARNING - Ammunition clip contains a finite number of bullets. Gun will no longer operate after all bullets have been fired.
CAUTION: Material may not be physically posible outside of writers imagination.
I have to enforce some of the rules here (well, ‘sugest’ since this is supposed to be fun, not serious). While ridiculous, no warning is required on the windows in Star Trek since they never seem to have a problem with them. The holodecks and transporters, however, require extensive warnings and possibly a waiver as well since they break and end up becoming a plot device for half the episodes (at least the ones I’ve seen).
Now on with the warning signs.
