What DVD has the worse cover art?
 
I just purchased Candyman SE last night and I must say the cover art was pretty bad, it was just ugly... What movies do you think has horrible and or unprofessional cover art?

Novasonic 10-20-04 09:31 AM

Matrix Revolutions. I think instead of having four pictures on the box, maybe they could have had four different boxes and you choose which one you like best.

The Infernal Affairs cover is pretty horid.

doraemon10 10-20-04 10:11 AM

id like to post some of these horrible covers but dunno how

doraemon10 10-20-04 10:13 AM

Oh the Fox Lorber cover for the Killer is aweful, I think their art team needs to get fired.

Oh come on guys, you can't forget the OG awful cover:

And BTW, this has been covered many times.

Richard Malloy 10-20-04 10:26 AM

The alltime worst cover has still got to go to Koch Vision Home Entertainment's horrible "Cinema Sirens" release of Polanski's "REPULSION". Go to the following link and scroll down a bit... it's the mustard yellow colored cover with the posing body of a pink polka-dotted swimsuit model that has Catherine Deneuve's head photoshopped onto it: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdcompare/repulsion.htm

Yes, the cover is cheesy by any standard, but if you've seen the film (or have even the slightest idea what it's about), then you'll understand fully why this is hands-down the worst cover of all time.

i bust a gut whenever that val kilmer cover is resurrected in these threads.

Fox could have done much better on this one:

ianholm 10-20-04 11:48 AM

Real Genius :lol: WTF

doraemon10 10-20-04 12:32 PM

Green Jello 10-20-04 01:04 PM

If you've seen the cover art for <b>Garden State</b>, I think we have a competitor for <b>Real Genius</b>.

Later.

Since I am a fan of the films, I have always found the Bourne Identity's cover art awful looking.
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

And here is the ugliness of the upcoming Supremacy cover art
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
- though it's an improvement over the film's one-sheet.

The Bourne Supremacy DVD cover looks quite bad... Looks like he's dancing... Smooth Criminal

Mike Lowrey 10-20-04 02:05 PM

I'd say any Michael Moore film has God-aweful cover-art.

This is not bad....

Look familiar?

cultshock 10-20-04 04:21 PM

Holy crap, that's funny. :lol: As I was scrolling down, I thought that something looked very strange about Michelle Yeoh's picture, and yet the body and pose looked familar. :lol:

There is a brief football practice in this, I am pretty sure the cover images aren't from the movie. The Trans-Am *might* be from the movie.

The movie has nothing to do with football, and precious little to do with the Trans-Am.

Think Revenge of the Nerds meets Grease, with a cast of familiar sit-com faces... :D

I was going to include the High School USA cover, but decided that there's nothing wrong with it design-wise.

It's not only bad, but also trying to steal Van Helsing's thunder. I've seen this movie on TV many times as a kid and I don't remember graveyards, just a desert and them living up in some cliff cave or something. No lightning either.

EDIT: Oops, I got the movies mixed up. Har! I mean, how many Gargoyle movies can there be? :D

Duder 10-20-04 06:18 PM

Aaauugh, WHYYYY??? The picture with just Zach Braff staring forward--even the ad version where his shirt and the wall behind him are made up of quotes from reviews--would've been so perfect! Sometimes I wonder what idiots these movie companies have working in their design departments.

mikewendt 10-21-04 12:17 AM

I was actually gonna throw this into the mix... Just pick up this fairly unknown gem, and of course the cover doesn't represent the film at all. It's a made-for-TV movie with a bunch of, then famous, TV stars. Great movie by the way. Just "ask Bandini, he's been there..."

JiM T 10-21-04 01:56 AM

Jersey Girl. The movie wasn't all that great, but a DVD cover that didn't look like barf might've helped. It's also misleading, with Liv Tyler played up as the supposed "Jersey Girl". (Notice Kevin Smith hiding up in the corner - how many directors are subjected to having their face on their DVD covers, especially such a horrible one?) The one-sheet wasn't great - it was as though they never knew what image to put out there.

I think Universal's Peter Pan has one of the worst covers I've seen in a long time.

The cover makes this look like a direct to video Barbie film and I was embarassed to walk out of the store with it despite favorable reviews from this site and many other reviewers and good comparisons to Shrek and A Princess Bride.

And
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

This is the worst - as in most misleading. Makes this film about lesbians look sexy, romantic and in color. None of this is true for the actual film. Instead you get scenes like this...
