Sony Promo Video "Beta Hi-Fi SHOW TIME !!"

These clips came from an old Betamax, (Yes, BETAMAX) demonstration tape entitled "Beta hi-fi SHOWTIME!!". It consisted of various movie highlights (in Beta hi-fi stereo!), separated by sales pitches for various Sony products (shown here).
This tape came with over 100 other tapes when I acquired my Sony SL-HF600 SuperBeta Hi-Fi VCR. I 'm guessing that this tape came packed in with Beta hi-fi VCRs sold during the mid 1980s.

I remember that the demo casette also included some featurettes of 007, Rocky, The Black Stallion, Top Gun (or some movie like that) and other movies. My dad used to play that cassete in order to keep me and my brother entertained when i was 5 or 6. Thanks for the memories. Sorry for my "broken" english.

@betanando You're exactly right! I had to cut those sections out to avoid copyright infringement, though. Thanks for sharing your memories! (And your English doesn't seem broken at all, either!)

@Blist9 Google Translate to English ==>

"Thanks for uploading this video ...... How many childhood memories alive!!!!"

More accurately: "Thanks for submitting this video....Many childhood memories!!!!"

The cassette deck ad looks more like a wannabe, overdone, knockoff of the Maxwell ads with the "blown away guy" :/
