That's why alternate cover art exists!

That's not great, but there have surely been worse covers. Except for the color, I would find it passable. Did you see the cover of "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" on this forum? Now that's bad!

I personally don't ahve a problem with the cover art; it's average.

The color scheme may be bad but I believe its the original poster art for the film.

I agree with those who don't think it's bad. C'mon folks - with all the atrocious covers on the market - hello, Real Genius! - we're running a thread to bitch about one that simply modifies the original art a bit?

Another sign of the lack of fiber in some people's diet.

Hey, listen, there is a big damn difference between Real Genius and The Untouchables, notably the fact that The Untouchables is a hell of a movie! And having some terribly color-schemed borded AND bullet holes is NOT a simple modification of the original.

Jeez, I thought this was a DISCUSSION forum where people can express their opinions about things! And what does fiber have to do with anything, Juan?

Regardless if the cover art is ugly or not, I will still be picking this one up.

Why?? You say. Look at those atrocious colors! I'll buy this because I love the actual movie. That's why I buy most of my dvds btw..
