So was the final scene trying to say that Max ended up being a pawn for Videodrome in the end, and that Videodrome was still out there and bigger then just the two main bad guys? A lot of times it was hard to decipher halucinations from reality...but of course that was the entire point of the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of times it was hard to decipher halucinations from reality...but of course that was the entire point of the movie. The final scene, as written, was supposed to show that Videodrome was a weapon and had so completely mutated Max's body and mind that he was now batshit insane and kills himself to "fully become the new flesh". That said, the original script for Videodrome (dramatically altered due to the fact that SFX at the time made a lot of the stuff impossible to pull off/were cut because it would never get past the censors) was that after Max shoots himself, he awakes on the set of Videodrome's torture studio with Debby Harry's character and the Bianca Oblivion character waiting for Max. Both women have stomach vaginas like Max, which they are fingering with their hands to pleasure themselves. They start to finger Max's stomach vagina with it implied that Max's mind has merged with the videodrome signal when Max killed himself. Of course, this only makes sense in the original script, which had a scene cut from the final draft where Bianca and Debby Harry's character are revealed to be aspects of Videodrome that have invaded the real world and are trying to stop the government from using Videodrome to murder people with Max's help......
