   Well, two other sets of master tapes did make it into Canada. The
difference was those sets were S-VHS, and could be played in the
machines most likely available to customs officials. It was the fact
that they were BetaCam tapes that was likely the problem. 

   As far as the ratings, I think Canada is a lot more sensitive to
violence and horror than the US. So _Army Dreamers_ for one and 
_Experiment IV_ for the other. I dunno, I'll have to check with Tipper.
