| Not only is it really cheap looking, it is totally misrepresentative of the film. When people see this in the store, I bet they think it looks like some cheesy erotic thriller where Amelie gets naked. In reality, it's a drama (with some thriller elements) about illegal immigrants trying to get by in London! |
The
DPT cover is so misrepresentative I mentioned it in my review. I know the studios want to move DVDs, but c'mon - at least have them make SOME connection with the actual movie!

That American Ninja cover is AWESOME
Having seen Slipstream, at least the current DVD cover is representative of the special effects in the film. Not very good.
And to be fair to The Hero and the Terror...that *IS* the poster art
Take care,

I don't think anyone's mentioned
Van Helsing yet:
I just got my review copy and hadn't seen the cover until then. I was shocked to see a big-ticket new movie like this with such a fugly cover! Makes the
I Robot one look like genius...

Out of the more recent films these are in order.
1.Open Range, GREAT film, GREAT original movie poster TERRIBLE dvd caover!
2.The Last Samurai. See above comments.
3.Kill Bill 1&2, the original movie posters were just so much better.
4. Matrix Revolutions.
And while we are talking about movie poster and dvd cover artwork. Anyone notice this on the Tombstone movie poster? By the way, I like the movie poster and artwork there is just a mistake. I never noticed this before until today when I hung this movie poster up in my office at work. This is the scene of them before the OK Corral gunfight. The only person that has a shot gun in this scene is Doc, not Virgil but the movie poster shows them both with one.

I am in awe of how horrendous and misleading the cover art for the R1 release of
Infernal Affairs is. There is not
ONE SINGLE WOMAN who holds a gun in the
ENTIRE film. I don't even remember who she is.
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

Yeah, Mike - show these RI pussies the real meaning of bad coverart !! Those Carlton Silver Collection ones are particularly bad. The DVDs are shit too.
