R-Rated Scene Gets Woody Recalled
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A disgruntled employee added part of an R-rated movie about a prostitute to the end of at least 500 copies of a Woody Woodpecker video, forcing 20,000 copies to be recalled.
UAV Corp. of Fort Mill, S.C., recalled copies of the 30-minute tape, “Woody Woodpecker and Friends No. 3015,” last month after complaints, company President Jerry Pettus said.
The video production worker, who has been fired, added a suggestive two-minute scene from the 1991 movie “Whore,” starring Theresa Russell as a woman who turns to prostitution after a bad marriage.
