Worst DVD covers... ever!

Nope. Sorry. That Over the Top is the best DVD cover ever. Well, it would be, if the "metal-band" OtT logo was about twice as big and it said "Stallone is Over the Top". It also needs the film's tagline: "Driving headlong towards the biggest fight of his life."

Come on, this is the perfect cover for a Golan/Globus film. Just think how good this would look as a glitter-enhanced iron-on transfer on a 3/4 length sleeve baseball shirt. I'm am already wearing it in my class picture in the junior high school of my mind.

That cover is exactly what the 80's was all about.

The bad cover is this one:

I could shop it up for you if you wanted an image to make a tshirt with. I agree, by the way.

Yeah...the 'bad cover': what's up with his nose? Looks like he's sucking in an antihystemine from those clenched fists.

Thanks, but nah. Unless my mom is buying it for me from a kiosk in the Sandusky Mall, it's just not the same.

That would be the best t-shirt ever!!!
The cover is ridiculous but it's in keeping with the movie.

Am I missing something? What's wrong with those Bedazzled covers? Sixties populist comedy? I think they work: shit, especially Raquel's drop dead f-me pose. Man!

My issue with the US Bedazzled cover is that it is an inslut to Cook/Moore.

weird, I didn't know Fassbinder directed a version of Scarface.

stephan73 · #990 Post by **stephan73** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 5:37 pm

It's a science fiction film starring Fassbinder and directed by Wolf Gremm. From what I remember it's not that bad!

Kamikaze 1989 is available on DVD at amazon.de. Not subtitled. I believe it was released on VHS in the USA (obviously out of print). It is possibly the greatest film ever made.

Has this disaster made its way into the thread yet?

Yick.

I'm proud to say I have the soundtrack LP. The sleeve is pretty much the same as the DVD cover but without all those ugly credits at the bottom.

Not a DVD yet, but this is the atrocious poster for the J-lo and her hubby flick:

Are you mad? That's amazing. It looks like the cover of a record someone would be snorting a pile of cocaine off of in 1979.
