[Robert Rodriguez] Roadracers -12/13/05

from DVDANSWERS:

Dimension Home Video has provided us with artwork for Roadracers which stars David Arquette and Salma Hayek. This 1994 movie is from director Robert Rodriguez, and tells the story of a rockin' rebel, racing through life with a fast car, a loud guitar, and a sexy girlfriend. The disc will be available to own from the 13th December, priced at around $29.99. Extras will include an audio commentary with Robert Rodriguez, a making of featurette, and a 10-Minute Film School.

We've attached the artwork below

dont like that cover at all. It seems like its clear that they are just trying to get people who are fans of sin city, to think that its just like that.

Nice, I've been waiting for this one to finally show up on DVD.

(but yeah, the new cover is a total SIN CITY rip-off )

FINALLY! This is fantastic news. There's nothing better than rollerskating to Hasil Adkins.

The cover is hilarious, but not too bad. Not the best representation of the style of the movie, but kind of cool. Much better than I expected. As seen above, the VHS cover was horrible - & I don't know if it ever had a poster because it was a cheap-o tv movie for Showtime.

Price is high, but extras are a very nice surprise.

I've been wanting to see this for years so I don't care what the cover art looks like.

Another vote for bad cover, but I will probably still pick it up eventually - maybe after a price drop.

Never seen this movie, but I will have to check it out since Salma Hayek is in it.

I think this debuted on Showtime initially. Haven't seen it in years and might pick it up.

One more out of the way so Rodruguez can get closer to delivering the promised Spy Kids SE which is about 1-2 years overdue.
