Worst DVD covers! (1 Viewer)

It's my browser's way of saying, "I need a drink."

And check out the highly original season 3 artwork

I realize the man is gone, but surely there must've been another picture of him out there.

"Puddle Cruiser" is a pretty clever little film and Fox's DVD cover makes it look like a sleazy sex comedy like "Porky's" or "American Pie".

Broken Lizard's Steve Lemme (who plays Felix Bean, the film's main character) had this to say on his blog at brokenlizard.com:

Hey, I resemble that!

And the Super Troopers reference, excuse me, possibly hurts even worse! Perhaps ST did better than I think, but I'd like to think Broken Lizard has moved onward and upward since then. Have they?

Chinatown has a horrible cover.

I can understand trying to hype up the "Super Troopers" connection, since it's one of Fox's biggest sellers on DVD, but actually showing the five "Super Troopers" character on the bottom of the packaging is just plain tacky. As for whether or not they've moved "onward and upward since then", I think "Club Dread" was pretty entertaining but ultimately disappointing, but I had no interest in "Dukes of Hazard", which all five "Broken Lizard" members were involved with, though it wasn't officially a "Broken Lizard" film. "Puddle Cruiser" was made in 1996 but was just released direct-to-video a month ago, so if you're asking if they've moved "onward an dupward" since making a film that didn't see the light of day for nearly a decade, I'd say that's a resounding "yes". In any event, a cover that actually showed all five Broken Lizard members as their "Puddle Cruiser" characters would have captured the feel of the movie itself and evoked "Super Troopers" in a much-less exploitative way.

Even if Broken Lizard made a groundbreaking film that changed the face of cinematic comedy, they'd still be marketed as the "the guys who brought you Super Troopers."

LOL at the Highway to Heaven covers. I hope someone got eternal damnation for those

Another addition to the Pantheon:

Check out the Blood & Wine cover at DavisDVD:

The original cover was so "noir"-ish (Jennifer Lopez still looks a bit odd) but this cover looks like it's from a training class for first-time artists.

Bill: sorry, I didn't realize Puddle Cruiser was made *before* all those others. I think I'll check it out.

Ravi: yup, that cover *really* makes me want to get 13 Going On 30 now. And to think I was going to pass on it just because of its content...

 

[Brian Little]

I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy that edition of "13 Going On 30" just based off on that horrid cover. Looks like something a 8 year old slapped together in Paint in about 2 minutes.

And yeesh at that Gattaca P&S only edition cover. I'll stick to my Superbit edition thank you very much (which is in its intended WS triple thank you).

There's a link on that page for Narnia that has the blood & wine cover.

All I can say is, "Thank God I bought this for under $9.00 at Wal Mart last night!"

 

[Greg_S_H]

I love that Narnia cover.

 

[Keith I]

Sorry, didn't want to hotlink to the cover. I didn't bother to check the direct link to the cover. It has been fixed.
