Don't get too excited for the unrated version - it's literally just extra frames added to some of the gun blasts.

The extra frames are of inferior quality on the German edition. I wonder if Shout has improved the footage.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

I actually caught this one in the theater, and it was a bit rougher than most of the 80's Cannon fodder he was in. If it gets positive reviews, I'll probably cave and pick this up.

I have a question that is indirectly Charles Bronson related.
I'm trying to recall a story that my dad (George Barry) told me. On a Charles Bronson set, a co-star of his allegedly brought in prostitutes and cocaine- enough to share.
This irritated the crap out of Bronson as he was a private and serious man. Anyone know who the actor and film might be? I asked my brother and he thinks this might have happened on an Italian set, but also does not remember the actor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Grieving is brutal, especially when you want to remember everything- every moment and every story becomes so precious. Even a story about prostitutes and cocaine.

Hi Ian,
Dad was not never on set with Bronson, this was just a story he recounted from something he read or from someone he met. I'm unsure of the original source.
Best wishes to you and yours as well!

Hope you and yours are doing well.

Watched The Mechanic last night. Good manly fare. The reviews set me up for something that was quieter, slower and more abstract. I was pleased to find it was just a good straight ahead action film. They don't make 'em like this anymore. I should probably delve more deeply into the Bronson back catalogue. Haven't even seen Death Wish yet though I think I may have seen some sequels."Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right." Hyman Mandell.

Dom, if you haven't seen it, you should look for HARD TIMES. Walter Hill directs and Bronson is so badass."Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right." Hyman Mandell.
