Silence of the lambs: CC cover? (1 Viewer)

[Veli-Matti Reitti]

Why did Criterion release this edition with two different covers? Strange considering the editions have entirely the same bonus materials, sound mix etc. Personally i find the "Anthony Hopkins cover" to be more suitable for the movie. Are there any other CC releases with two different covers?

I didn't realize there were two covers. Pics?

I'm pretty sure there was only one cover for the Criterion version. You may have seen a bootleg Criterion version.

I see what you're talking about.
Check out this auction:

I bet that's a bootleg or alternate cover art.

Silence of the lambs is also a disc that has been bootlegged before, according to criteriondvd.com
Although the cover on that ebay auction is not the same as described in the following link

That's just great i just won an auction with the "bootleg cover". Should have known it since it was a real bargain. The seller said it was a "very rare cover".

 

[Nate Anderson]

Yep...it's a bootleg. I also have bootleg Criterion of Silence. At least mine looks like the real thing.

the "sticker" on the cover that says "DVD9" is a bit of a giveaway, that or something similar appears to be endemic of pirate copies, to tell buyers that it's a dual-layer disc and not single layer, which would say "DVD5". sort-of to impress you with the quality. so avoid these like the plague.

I knew that I wasn't crazy...

I won Fast Times at Ridgemont High Criterion at ebay last month and just noticed there are some similarities between the cover art of this one and Silence of the Lambs, I hope I didn't get a bootleg!

Just out of curiosity Chad,

what are the specs for that Criterion of 'Fast Times'?

I think it is a bootleg, as this movie is not available through Criterion (as far as I know)! You can always check the Criterion Official Homepage, choose 'browse the collection', and you can see every dvd that they have released, including OOP's. Cover scans are also available!

The seller in the e-bay links above should be reported to Criterion. He also sold Star Wars bootleg DVD's.

Well, Chad, I thought it was funny!

 

[Michael D. Bunting]

Oh no! I sure hope my Criterion Collection: Dude, Where's My Car? DVD is legit...I got it off ebay a few weeks ago.
