Well i wouldn't mind if that was in fact the art work. I like it. They should keep that as the artwork.

Did this get any kind of theatrical release?

I hate when the names on the cover do not match the picture.

Steve Zahn was the luckiest guy in the world in this movie.

The order that the names appear on the poster is a contractual obligation and you'd be amazed at how much intensive negotiating goes into it most times.

That said, it's particularly odd the way this cover is designed, almost intentionally placing the wrong name directly on each actress's body.

This will be a blind buy for me

Has anybody seen this yet? Does the movie live up to the (not final version) cover art?

RocShemp · 11-04-06, 07:04 PM

It was okay. I saw it in theatres a week ago and liked it... for a matinee. The first 20 minutes are a disaster. I got the feeling that someone decided that they wanted to "get to the good stuff" as soon as possible and just put a chainsaw through the whole first act. The movie literaly jumps all over the place before the girls finally team up.

Spoiler:

Stuff like that happens a lot during the first 20 minutes. After that, the movie is great zany fun. Here's hoping some sort of extended cut shows up later on.

As for the cover, I like it.

The movie literaly jumps all over the place before the girls finally team up. Spoiler: There's a scene where Salma witnesses an old prospector get killed. The scene just suddenly happens when in the previous scene she was at her father Hacienda. In fact, she comes across as an unwilling guest of the old man, suggesting that there was a whole sequence that got cut out that would explain why she was there in the first place. Stuff like that happens a lot during the first 20 minutes. After that, the movie is great zany fun. Here's hoping some sort of extended cut shows up later on. As for the cover, I like it. __________________ So there's simultaneously a super secret team of giant robots and a super secret team of technologically enhanced super soldiers, and neither team knows about the other?
