Is it a sequel to this:

I'll bet Gordon Willis and Georges Delerue didn't work on the "Break-Up Artist," though.

Jet Li seems to be doing something I often do with my watch: blind unsuspecting people with its reflection. Except no one I do it to is only an inch tall.

That's not really a bad cover.
Though it is somewhat depressing how the director's name is almost hidden in micro-type.

The Pathfinder graphic designer has gone working for NoShame! --- (Worst one I've seen in ages...)

I saw that a while ago, but gave up bitching about noshame cover art. I emailed them and offered my services free of charge, and I didn't get a response, even though my countless other queries were answered...

This Man Must Die is terrible. I really do think it is the worst cover I have ever seen.

No, still the worst. Instructional videos don't count. :P

I think we are lucky that wasn't the cover for Young Torless showing the mouse killers!

This cover made me laugh. I like how not one person's name appears on the cover ... as though nobody wanted to be associated with the film. Just so amateurish in so many ways.
The one clever feature, the jagged rip thru the cover, I couldn't figure out what the hell that was when I was in the store.

Here's the actual cover. Note that most of the covers Buena Vista provides to the stores with extra-large letters, are not the actual ones - just a promo to use in print ads.

This is the first time I have ever seen a movie, so desperate for some kind of audience, advertise itself as "in the tradition" of the film it is clearly ripping off.

Amusingly, this movie is too good for the title The Gigantic Scorpian. No, it has to have a fancy Latin title. You have to be highbrow about these subjects.

I didn't know Peter Gallagher grew a stache and starred in polish films in the off-season...
