i consider most of these birds of a different feather. many of those movies seem to exist with the specific intent of breeding confusion. the twister/tornado movies. the fact that the covers look the same is just another step in duping customers.

this was especially bad for animated disney movies like hercules and mulan, that had knock offs in stores near the time of disney's release in theaters.

I always thought this one was weird...



Obviously they did some photoshopping there, but why? Was it really that hard to find/take a picture of Donal Logue?

Nice try on being funny, but instead it's just plain sad.

Have these two Ashley Judd covers been mentioned yet?
They even sell the two films together in a 2-pack!

WWE is guilty of duplicate photos in covers as well.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd scroll down, they discount this one when you buy it with the one that it steals its art from.

Brandon Lee is dead and they didn't have much in promo photos before his death. Even in 'the Crow' you see repeat shots made to look like they were different scenes.

it was for the first run of the bull durham special editions. MGM was doing this often. Offering a special slipcover for the first few months. Usual Suspects, Thelma & Louise come to mind as well. Since then they not only have discontinued the slipcover, but the special edition, even though it carries the same UPC. Don't order online, go to the store, as the SE can still be had on some shelves. I also see the slipcover in used shops on occasion.

But I'm fairly sure this was done on purpose.
