Worst DVD covers... ever!

Was Richard Pryor's deathbed request that he not be included on the cover of Superman III? If so, nice dodge, Rich.

My dear Shreck, are you not forgetting the 5th and seemingly forgotten monster cereal...Fruity Yummy Mummy

Never, ever, ever have I heard of Yummy Mummy!! .. which this fan site claims it was a late-80's dupe of the great, by-then long-discontinued FRUIT BRUTE (which I missed like a bastard, weeping and pounding my fists dropping tears onto the breakfast table):

Yummy Mummy was a strange Monster cereal to try and figure out. Some folks don't even think of him as an official cereal of the Monster's lineup. This is absurd because during his run, he was advertised (on the back of the cereal boxes) along with all of the other Monsters in the lineup. You might also wish to note that upon Yummy Mummy's release, all of the Monster Cereal boxes had the same look about them, they were uniformed and this includes Yummy Mummy. Yummy Mummy first hit the store shelves in 1987 and when I first seen him I was excited (to say the least) to try this NEW Monster Cereal. What I found was that the cereal itself was the same recipe that was used by our old pal Fruit Brute. The only difference that I could find in the cereal was the marshmallows. Rather than the green (lime flavored) marshmallows that were used in Fruit Brute, General Mills added a yellowish colored marshmallow with a STRONG vanilla flavor. The vanilla was so strong that it did almost make it taste like a different cereal but we "Hard-core" Monster Cereal fans couldn't be fooled. Yummy Mummy made his last trip to the grocer's shelves in 1992. I'll give General Mills an "E" for effort because at the very least they were showing attention to our beloved Monster Cereals but that vanilla ruined a cereal that was fine in the first place, (back when it was called Fruit Brute). The reason that these cereals were discontinued is because there was a lack of advertising on General Mills part, not because they are dissatisfying in taste. The reason that the surviving Monsters can't be found very often (except around Halloween) is because of a lack in advertising and promotion on General Mills part. If you'd like to see Yummy Mummy (or any of the other Monster Cereals) back in your local grocery store, contact "General Mills"and demand your Monsters

I repeat: Monster Cereals are the ambrosia of the gods. Zeus nourishes every young god on their wholesome good correctness, coming on with nonsense about USRDA in front of his bitching old lady but in reality marshmallow obsessed and doing what every grownup maturely does even with LUCKY CHARMS today... carefully threads out the oat cereal, piece by piece, carefully tweezing each bland piece of "food" first, eating it until all that remains is a half bowl of neon-tinted milk with pure marshmallows remaining. Ahhh..

This is what German audiences thought would be the funniest movie ever!!!! Sort of a Star Wars/Star Trek/Starship Enterprise-spoof with homophobic gags all the way. Embarassing right down to the craptacular DVD-cover design

"Up the Streisand Box"????

[manicsounds]

Is that supposed to be Streisand on the cover?
Loos more like a Garbage Pail Kid

[Rufus T. Firefly]

As if the movie wasn't bad enough. Is his mouth really that big...?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

A badly drawn Lauren Hutton in the process of applying the coup de grace to Burt's manhood, though his extra long legs may save him.

Trivia: Lauren Hutton is the current World Record holder for smallest asscrack.

Cronenberg's Dead Zone has gotten particularly abysmal treatment:

[manicsounds]

Although not DVD, remember bad VHS covers?

[colinr0380]

Cronenberg's Dead Zone has gotten particularly abysmal treatment

Looks like the cover is meant to tie in with the rerelease of Pet Sematary as well. It's probably something to do with rebranding the films and making sure that nobody can miss that these are "Stephen King's", in case there are still people around who do not realise these films have been made of his work(!)

Silver Bullet and Graveyard Shift are also part of these reissues. Wonder if there are any extras on Graveyard Shift and if the Region 2 commentary on Silver Bullet makes its first Region 1 appearance in this set?

For a minute looking at the Terry "Hulk" Hogan name, I thought that Terry Wogan had made an action film!

EDIT: From this DVD Talk review Silver Bullet doesn't have any extras or the commentary track and Graveyard Shift doesn't have any extra material either, so probably best to just get the first two rather than the boxset if you are thinking of upgrading.

- AFFAIR IN TRINIDAD... why a grey-skin Rita Hayworth (and a "huge" Glenn Ford)?



- And why Barbara "Babs" Stanwyck hadn't this look in DOUBLE INDEMNITY?
