I am actor who played the drug smuggler in this pif, mid 1990s. And yes, there is a longer (45 sec) version

[piflover]

Seriously? That's awesome! What happens in the longer version?

[TigerWalrus26980]

I only saw the full version of this, and only the once - I was 12, it was late at night, and I was happy never to see it again!!!

[piflover]

What was the full version?

[rosebankross]

Are we to assume that the guy knew he was carrying drugs?

[piflover]

I think it's deliberately ambiguous, hence "Don't carry anything for anyone else." Whether or not you know what's inside it, you will still face the full majesty of the foreign law if caught with drugs.

I watched this once on tv and it scares the fuck out of me... Now whenever I bring stuff aboard or in (even my own) I check to make sure...

[HurryHarryNoE]

OH jaysus. Childhood memories...the music is so fucking eerie...I was very little when this was first on, even now the way the dude rips the rabbit toy open scares me!

The picturing on this is fuzzier than in your other videoes.

When I travel across the channel in my car, I check it at the last service station in case anything is planted without my knowledge.

[rosebankross]

Would you have a copy of the full version?

There's a scene with me stripped sitting in the corner of the cell

Well, to be honest, there wasn't much more than you've got already - maybe it just seemed longer because it freaked me out so much.
