I just went to WalMart and picked up a couple of DVDs from the $5.50 bin, one of which was I.Q. I've never seen it before and have held off for years, but I figured that at that price I couldn't go wrong. No special features are listed on the back of the DVD, but I figured there must be something on there, since it says in bold type on the back " SPECIAL FEATURES NOT RATED". I just got home, put it in the player, and it is as bare as can be!

I just looked up the DVDTalk review of it by DVD Savant, and he even comments on this saying "Supplements: none, but don't worry, they're not rated".

I just found this to be one of the stupidest things ever. Did they plan some special features for this DVD only to hold off on it at the last second, or is this just something they put on every DVD? If it's the latter, I've never noticed it until today.

So yeah, there is my pick, but I'm sure there are even more stupid things out there on DVD cases.

How about on the Oldboy cover "comes with the Quentin Tarantino seal of approval"
Or something to that nature.

Jim Cameron on the upcoming TITANIC SE cover.

while i don't see it on the cover (or at least the one on dvdempire, the movies "thriller a cruel picture" says something like "Quintin Tarantino says its the roughest revenge movie ever made" and on the packaging for "good the bad and the ugly" it mentions that it is tarantinos favorite movie.

The Spanish Prisoner (back cover) and Phone Booth (front cover) both have spoilers in plain sight.

regarding phone booth

While we're at it, the Sleepaway Camp box set has HUGE spoilers on the back of the box.

so does the original fiday the 13th pt 1 back cover.

I'll trump all of the answers so far. A friend found a Korean bootleg of Catwoman at a flea market. You know how a lot of times you'll have a blurb from some review on the DVD case to help advertise it? Well, apparently the bootleggers thought that Roger Ebert's "TIRED AND DATED" was a good slogan for the case.

agreed

I just bought 21 jump street season 3 and on the back it says in small letters .. Johnny Depp "Rules"...
that's it...no source of this quote and the "rules" is in quotations....weird...

I think it would be the bootleg copy of one of the "Harry Potter" movies that had the description to "The Matrix" on it.

I never knew Mr. "I know Kung-fu" was in the Harry Potter flicks!

Something odd I found recently - on the back of the slipcase for "Lost" it proudly proclaims "The #1 best show". Huh?

Stupidest thing I've ever seen on a DVD box?

That's easy....

"FULL SCREEN VERSION"

anything with freakin floating heads

Especially when it's listed under "Special Features"

Those words make me want to see it. Thanks Roger Ebert!

Hellraiser 3 dvd, says SPECIAL EDITION on the front, the back's only feature was FULL SCREEN VERSION. lol

I have a copy of Shaolin Soccer that for a plot synopsis, it has the plot for Monkeybone instead of the plot for Shaolin Soccer.

My buddy, who was stationed in Iraq at the time, was looking through the bootlegs that a shopkeeper had for sale when he found a copy of The Passion of the Christ that the quote, "ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!" on it.

Maybe I'm missing something... what's the spoiler?

DJ

the eye really is lazy

The spoiler on the Planet of the Apes movie (the original) DVD cover...and not as much a spoiler, but it still is, the dvd cover of Close Encounters with it's spoiler (not the boy at the door cover, but the other cover.

"Fully Restored and Remastered" on dollar-store discs that are obviously really made from VHS masters complete with tape dropouts!
