== James Bond commentary ==
Controversy surrounded the audio commentary on Criterion's 1991 laserdisc release of the first three [[James Bond]] films, ''[[Dr. No (film)|Dr. No]]'', ''[[From Russia with Love (film)|From Russia with Love]]'' and ''[[Goldfinger (film)|Goldfinger]]''.<ref name="jamesbond"/><ref name="filmschool"/> [[Eon Productions]] notified Criterion of "185 statements in the audio commentaries which they considered to be 'inaccurate, insensitive, inflammatory or potentially libelous'".<ref name="jamesbond"/> The audio tracks featured commentary from various members of the production crews who worked on the films. Amongst the offensive commentary; they criticized the budgets for the three films, gossiped about Sean Connery's weight gain during ''From Russia with Love'', and "insinuated that several female costars were bad actors and had been cast solely for their looks".<ref name="jamesbond"/> Additionally, when English film director [[Guy Hamilton]] was commenting about ''Goldfinger'', which he directed, he referred to the fictional character [[Pussy Galore]] as a "dyke".<ref name="jamesbond"/> In response to EON’s complaints, Criterion discontinued the collection, and issued a recall of the unsold copies. The following year, they reissued the three films as single-disc versions, with all the extra features removed.<ref name="jamesbond"/>
