At least they didn't use the Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark revision.

Depends on the poster key art used.

Terrific that this is a stand alone release. I’m all over this one.

EDIT: Oh wait, is this because the second R has a tail?

No; it's the placement and colouring of "of the Lost Ark."

That's pretty.

As a friend pointed out, the wrong logo on the front cover, the right logo on the mini-poster and a different title on the disc.

For the last time Neil, it's the right logo for that poster artwork. I don't care what it says on the disc.

 

[Neil S. Bulk]

For the last time Neil, it's the right logo for that poster artwork.

The "Raiders" portion of the logo has been re-done using a font that's kind of close but isn't right at all. It looks like a knock off, now. Look how the actual logo has a nice flow on the poster and how the cover of the steel book looks like a ransom note. The "D" and the "E" are off doing their own thing. The spacing between the letters is strange. The shading is also wrong. Please compare the two below.

For reference here's the steelbook logo and the poster with the correct logo.

From reviews I have read regarding this release, there are no special features included other than theatrical trailers, although they may be available on digital.

It's literally the same disc from 2021 so it'll include exactly the same (minor) bonus features.

Did anyone actually expect anything different?
