It looks like they have like just one template for all of these re-releases.

No, one says "HE WILL ROCK YOU" and the other doesn't so there is some difference.

They should combine them and make a movie where Heath Ledger's character has to fight Miro Sorvino's.

Yes, and that would be called A Replacement Knight's Killer Tale.

Well they don't seem to have editors at all. There are mistakes on many of their recent releases (i.e. Ghostbusters Set and Stand By Me D.E.).

Umm...the male is on the left in one, while he's on the right in the other. What more do you want...? Jeez.

I still can't get beyond the "He will rock you" tagline.

I don't like that Replacement Killers art at all... the previous "gun in foreground" art was MUCH MUCH better. Good flick BTW!

Don't you guys know? Red backgrounds can only be used once.

Due to this new rule, this is the new cover of Blow-Up.



Representatives at Columbia Tri-Star said there was a "mad late night scramble" to change the cover of the Brown Bunny since Warner Home Video had "already called dibs" on the yellow.



SLC Punk was taken off the market, even though it was only "slightly" green.

Definitely! I friggin' HATE all DVD cover re-designs (from the original cinema one-sheets). They are ALWAYS shoddy, amateurish crap. If anyone can supply an example of a DVD cover better than the original, I'd like to see it. Photoshop and its ilk are a bane of DVDs. Columbia/Sony seem to be a particular practitioner of this; MGM is another.
