VHS Special Features That Have Yet to Be Released on DVD or Blu ray

Now this might be a rarity, but back in the olden days when they put out VHS movies for sale, sometimes they'd include extra features like trailers, featurettes and the like (not to mention movie postcards and other gimmicks).

So, are there any extra features that have appeared on commercial VHS releases that have *not* appeared on their DVD or Blu ray counterparts?

I can name a few:

The featurettes that were included with the 1999 Indiana Jones Trilogy (some of which has some insightful interviews)

The featurettes that were included with the 1997 25th Anniversary Godfather Trilogy (which included screen tests of Al Pacino and Diane Keaton)

All the extras from the Road Warrior 1999 release (which included an introduction to by Leonard Maltin, theatrical trailers, original EPK material)

The 1998 20th Anniversary 2-tape release of Halloween (the only missing bit was this photo gallery)

So, how about you? This might be a trip down memory lane if nothing else.

This set that came with a plastic sheet you could put on your TV screen for the kids to draw on

Maybe the Space Ghost interview with Jim Carrey segment on The Mask VHS. I don't think that's included. Neither is the teaser for it before the movie.

Isn't that on the bluray? I know the trailers and the Maltin introduction are.

Around 1997 (just before they lost the rights to the early new line titles), Anchor Bay put out 2 tape sets of A Nightmare on elm street, The Hidden and Hellraiser. To my knowledge all 3 sets contained features that never made it to dvd.

Not really a special feature exactly but I miss the Pepsi ad at the beginning of Top Gun VHS tapes which spoofs the movie Top Gun.

I also liked the Lee Iacoca Chrysler ad at the beginning of the original release Platoon HBO Video VHS release.

I was going to post this. I didn't know about The Hidden or Hellraiser, but I have the 2 tape set of A Nightmare on Elm Street SOMEWHERE. I'm really angry because I can't find it anywhere, but I know I have it somewhere. I just hope it didn't get thrown away or something.

Kind of surprised that Paramount didn't redo the Godfather chronological cut for DVD and blu when they did that big remaster. Seems like it would have been an easy way to get a little more return for their investment.
