I like how billing requirements have the stars' names in a specific order, so they're awkwardly placed directly above the wrong photos on the cover.

I remember reading back then about a lot of people thinking the heads just didn't look right One magazine even had a picture of two body doubles who claimed to be the real people in the picture, the film company put the stars' heads on their bodies, and (IIRC) they were never paid for posing for the picture.

EDIT: I decided to look around a little bit on the 'net, and it appears there's still different opinions on the Pretty Woman poster. Most sites that mention something about it attribute the body double to actress Shelley Michelle. Shelley is listed on IMDB as an uncredited body double, but I think this kind of listing most likely refers to the movie itself, although she may have been used for the poster as well, I suppose. I even found one site that gives body double credit to "Los Angeles body-double Donna Scoggins". Hard telling what the real deal is.

I remember that it was made quite clear at the time that it was definitely NOT Julia Roberts' body on the poster.

Pretty Woman is NOT legit...Julia threw a hissy fit about that not being her body during press interviews when the movie was first released.

Hence why I said it LOOKS legit. Best photoshop work of the bunch.

Why does the dude on the right side of the cover have his hand up the John Woo double gun action guy's ass?

Maybe the John Woo double gun action guy is a puppet. That's one big puppet.

While not a head photochop, this one really pisses me off:

I saw the movie, and the movie does not show the kid finding American money, yet they photochop American currency on the cover of this BRITISH MOVIE. I despise the Americanization of British movies, and will be seeking out the region two edition of this one.

'Hilarious' refers to Howard's 'buff' body.

If you've seen the original photo, you'll understand why they replaced Keira's head. The expression on her face doesn't exactly endear itself to the ordinary consumer.

There is other money on the cover as well.

No duh. But there is no American money in the movie. It was photochopped into the image to Americanize the movie. Now, if it ends up on the UK edition of the movie, I will be quiet. Until then, I will continue to complain about the Americanization of British movies. Like replacing the spoken word "football" with "soccer" in the Americanized version of Bend It Like Beckham.

Hell, I remember seeing his shirt from Die Hard 3 at a Planet Hollywood a few years ago, and being amazed at how damn small it looked. Seriously, the guy probably wears a men's small.

Gwyneth wishes she had a body like this.
