WOW!! People vs. Larry Flynt SE cover

I couldn't believe my eyes when I took the slip cover off the actual DVD case. I'd never expect a cover like this from a major studio like Columbia!! I like it though

DVD with slipcover on:




DVD with slipcover off:

That cover was used just about everywhere (including my native Finland) except the U.S. Don't you just love the irony? I guess if you're the people then we're Larry Flynt.

Nice cover! But I also really liked the original with Woody's mouth taped over by an American flag. It was rather effective. Of course there'd be more 'big head' posts made.

Now we have a 'big pelvis' cover but I won't complain

Nice cover....now have certain stores refused to carry it unless a alternate cover was made?

Since i would prefer that cover than some sanatized garbage some conservative places may get uppity about the morons.


Also it's much better than the original 'censored' so to speak poster. Originally i think this was supposed to be the original poster or something similar,but the MPAA said no..& thus we got the big head,mouth covered by American flag instead.

julie,

since the slipcover is -cover-ing the "risque" cover there shouldn't be a problem with certain stores (stores like blockbuster, wal-mart)

Now that's an art cover!!
Now that wasn't the original poster art, right?
Who ever came up with this should put out all the Columbia dvd covers.

absolutely agree with the above statement....we need to find out the name of this guy and make sure he gets all of Columbia's future business (as far as covers are concerned)!!

ha ha ha....VERY WELL DONE!!!!

I hope the studios read these boards. Maybe we should e-mail them and let them know how much we love the ORIGINAL POSTER ART packaging.

Thank god it's not big floating heads.

That's an awesome cover. Much better than a big head with a gag over his mouth

Actually, that is the original poster art. As Tyler stated earlier, it was just banned in the US.

I'm thinking that the "ban" wasn't because of the girl in a bikini, but because a arguably utterly vile person was being protrayed as Jesus being crucified.

Jesus Christ wasn't the only person crucified on a cross. Clearly just another case of lazy minds not thinking things through, but instead overshadowing fact with speculation. "We can't have that! What will people think!?" That's the problem... they don't. At least someone came to their senses with this one and finally put out some cover ART. Hense the word art? Remember "No more wire hangers!!" NO MORE FLOATING/BIG HEADS! We want real art ALL the time.

Where's her stomach? It's very disproportionate to the rest of her body.

That looks more like a bowling pin than a woman.

That's quite impressive. A studio actually put some thought into the cover art. How refreshing.
