Worst DVD Covers...ever! (Part 4K)

[swo17]

Can we spoiler tag the Zebub covers or something? They're 10000% NSFW

Your computer still downloads the files even if you don't open the spoiler tag.

More concerned about it coming up every time I open that page of this thread.

These are just appalling. Every single one is bad, but here are my favorites:

Live and Let Die, starring Haley Joel Osment?



Licence to Kill, starring Christopher Plummer?



And I don't know what happened here:

[Ribs]

And the cover itself isn't terrible, but there is the baffling fact of them releasing both a Complete George Lazenby Collection to match all the other Complete Bond Collections in addition to a new version of OHMSS to match the individual new releases of all the films.

[Altair]

Tomorrow Never Dies cover looks like the EON version of Cronenberg's Crash.

This film is getting its premiere in the UK next Sunday on Channel 5. I couldn't help but be amused by the title and was hoping for a gloriously goofy DVD cover, but could only find this on amazon.com (According to imdb though you can contract the title not to ID4, but to I/D[Image of the Stars and Stripes]). That title is still good though, even featuring classic thick font-thin font styling!

[The Narrator Returns]

[Zot!]

While it makes me never want to see the movie, ever, that really looks pretty standard to me.

"Meryl Streep at her absolute best" is about as generic a pull quote as "this is a movie".

[reaky]

Reminds me of the backhanded comment on the poster for Machine Gun Preacher: "Gerard Butler has never been better."

[Minkin]

Reminds me of this:

[Gregory]

Yeah, she was practically still a kid in BMX Bikers and looked like this:

I knew there was something off about that guy...

"Aliens, bio-duplication, nude conspiracies; Lyndon LaRouche was right!"

[George Drooly]

Not Since Mann's Manhunter has a cover so blatantly misrepresented the visual tone of a film. And like Manhunter, this one seems to mine the same vein (pun intended) of the Saw/torture-porn "aesthetics" that has befouled the covers of nearly every horror release for more than a decade.

[kidc85]

Wow, that is seriously impressive. This is how the plot is described:

In this disturbingly twisted thriller, a man and woman are strangely drawn together when they become the victims of a sinister crime.

After being attacked outside a club, Kris finds herself back home, but at the mercy of a faceless figure who seems to be controlling her every move. As she begins to lose her grip on reality, Kris meets the equally disturbed, Jeff. The couple must piece together the puzzle in order to track down their attacker and wreak their revenge.

A quick check on Amazon tells me that this has become the film's main DVD cover, unlike that BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO cover a few years back which was limited to Asda (Walmart UK).

I wonder whether the fact that the DVD and the blu-ray releases seem to have completely different covers is revealing...

[colinr0380]

Presumably stuff like this is why Shane Carruth opted to self release the film in the US!

My roommate's Chinese copy of Band of Brothers has an interesting pullquote...

[colinr0380]

I never knew you could have Ministers of Computer Stunt Successes!

Also in the text just beside that, how can you suffer 150% of anything? Did they kill the other side so hard they killed their ghosts as well? Or they brought the enemy back as zombies and then had to re-kill them?

After those doozies being part of an "elete rifle" team seems charming!

Also in the text just beside that, how can you suffer 150% of anything? Did they kill the other side so hard they killed their ghosts as well? Or they brought the enemy back as zombies and then had to re-kill them?

They suffered 150% casualty rate. Casualty doesn't mean death, it means injury. Many of the men were wounded multiple times.

(Also, I believe Minister of Computer Stunt Successes was a position so top-secret even Churchill didn't know about it!)

[jindianajonz]

Reminds me of the surgery with a 300% mortality rate.

Oh, I like those odds!
