Andrew Stevens is even more emphatic. "Video is a wheezing, gasping, last bastion of collectors and a dwindling number of renters!" he roars. As a DTV icon, Stevens got candle wax dripped on his chest by Tanya Roberts in Night Eyes and got smothered in fruit by Shannon Tweed in Night Eyes 2 ("Nice use of raspberries," notes the invaluable Bare Facts Video Guide, which catalogs nude scenes in R-rated movies). But as the co-owner of Royal Oaks Entertainment, which produces a dozen or so action-adventure titles a year for the foreign market, he's pleased...

...Whaddya mean [the audience] won't wear glasses?' demanded Producer Bill Thomas. 'They'll wear toilet seats around their necks if you give 'em what they want to see!'...At Warners, Brother Jack [rushed] production on a [3-D] remake of that ancient horror about murder in a wax museum [with] the only director on the lot who cannot properly perceive depth: one-eyed Andre de Toth. [Said De Toth]: 'Beethoven couldn't hear music either, could he?'" --June...
