the Vacation poster isn't a spoof of anything. but it is a very tongue-in-cheek effort by artist Boris Vallejo.

Yes, they are similar, but atleast the top movie has one of the sweet valley high girls.

I realize I'm 4 months late on this--but damnit, if you can't see Kevin Bacon's pose is the same with the 2 covers I posted, perhaps you need a bigger monitor.

4 months to think of that insult? I think you could have hurt his feelings more than that.

The people at Spaceballs should be fired for this blatent rip-off






I mean c'mon, they even have characters that look like C3PO, Darth Vader, Leia, and Han Solo. I can't believe Lucas isn't suing.

It wasn't an insult. And I hadn't read this thread until I went back through threads I started and noticed I hadn't ever come back after I posted. If I wasn't simulataneously wokring while posting, I probably could have come up with something better than that, I suppose. Like call him a doddyhead or something.

Or, you know, maybe you could have just not responded...

Me? Nahhhhhhhhhhhh.

There was another thread about this quite a while ago...maybe it's in the Cover art forum.

Older then 2 years?

I wouldn't be surprised if the ROTS art won't more closely match the Space Balls art than the TPM art.

Three pages of crappy covers:

I always thought this...


...was an imitation of this...

I agree with most of those, but come on...the two tornado related covers??? What else are they going to show on a cover for a movie about a tornado??? EVERY movie cover about a tornado is going to have a freaking tornado on it. I don't see how those are blantant copies of each other. There are some on there that really don't look enough a like either, and some that are obvious.

You know what I realized? I'm probably the last to scream "conspiracy".

The Under Suspicion/Beyond Suspicion is the most blatant of all.

Did they put Matt on a stairmaster and say, "Here dude, take this gun, and pretend you're walking--errr running or something. Oh, and move your arms back and forth to make it appear as if you're moving naturally. Got it? Good."

I must be blind, I don't see either of those covers on any of the three pages there?

First and second from the right on the third row (first page)

Man, I looked at that thing a good dozen times. "Hackman, Freeman, some other name I don't know" because it's right beside her picture.

As I said, I'm blind.

You fu@!ing got that right. Ghostbusters, anyone? Excalibur, anyone? Thief, anyone? Unbelievable...

Hell yes, and I'm only 30. I have always hated cassettes, for that very reason (Iron Maiden!), and I think cover art has taken a dive since CDs took over platters.

Ahhh, the many faces of Harrison Ford. He shows such range in displaying confusion mixed with thinly veiled contempt.

And sometimes he runs...

This one makes me a little ill, actually:



Naomi Watts rings twice:
