It's practically a supporting character!

You watched the unrated version right?

Did I miss out on even more James Wood nudity?  I downloaded it from Amazon Unbox, so I hope it's the best version.

Well, it's not the Criterion, which features the complete Videodrome footage (like 11 minutes of that naked chick strapped to a wall getting whipped) and the complete SAMURAI DREAMS softcore (which is like 11 minutes and pretty boring).  The Unbox version does appear to be the unrated cut, though.

I likew Unbox a lot.  I hope it gets enough business to stick around.

The unrated version has more of Cronenberg's trademark lingering shots (violence as well as sex) as well as (this kills me) the full reveal of the dildo in the movie at the first.  The dildo was actually the reason they had to go back to the editing room in the first place.

Haha, that scene is so great.  Videodrome is probably in my top 10 Criterion sets.  Key features:

Two audio commentaries: David Cronenberg and director of photography Mark Irwin, and actors James Woods and Deborah Harry 

 Camera (2000), a short film starring Videodrome’s Les Carlson, written and directed by Cronenberg 

 Forging the New Flesh, a new half-hour documentary featurette by filmmaker Michael Lennick about the creation of Videodrome’s video and prosthetic makeup effects 

 Bootleg Video: the complete footage of Samurai Dreams and seven minutes of transmissions from “Videodrome,” presented in their original, unedited form with filmmaker commentary 

 Fear on Film, a 26-minute roundtable discussion from 1982 between filmmakers Cronenberg, John Carpenter, John Landis, and Mick Garris 

 Stills galleries featuring hundreds of rare behind-the-scenes production photos, special effects makeup tests, and publicity photos English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired
