Videodrome

Submitted by Steve Lipton

On the Criterion version of David Cronenberg’s “Videodrome” the studio has included a hidden feature also.

Insert the second disc of the DVD set in your player and from the Main Menu, go to the “Bootleg Video” section.  Here, go to “Transmissions From Videodrome” and highlight the “Bootleg Video” menu entry. Now press the “Down” arrow key on your remote control to highlight the videotape.  Press “Enter” to hear Special Video Effects Supervisor Michael Lennick explain why they chose to feature Betamax videocassettes over VHS in the film.
