That's the most unfortunate cover of all because (a) it's very bad, as you say, but also (b) it goes to the best film mentioned on this thread so far. (Although Hi Mom, Eureka, and The THing are really great too.)

I don't mind that cover at all. The blue VHS cover from HVE was better though.

It's amazing. Just looking at the More cover actually gave me a seizure. Incredible!

What you can't see . . . can kill you!
I think one of those news reports shown in the 'how news scares people for no reason whatsoever' section of Bowling For Columbine had that same tagline!

I gotta admit, the CITY DRAGON cover definitely fits mbalson's criteria of a cover so bad it's funny. I love the shot of the guy with the dopy look on his face while 2 practically naked chicks hang all over him. Why is he looking at the camera and not at them?

He's amazed at how well his new haircut worked in getting hot bitches.

In keeping with that sentiment, here's another unfortunate cover for a great movie (and a pretty good all-around DVD, too). It's not as bad as some others in this thread, but it's still potentially off-putting if you don't know how good the movie is. There's just too much going on here. Less would definitely be more.

Whoever designed that doesn't seem to know that "leaves" means "pages," thus the falling maple leaves on the cover. I guess poor Satan needed a hobby to make the thousands of years go by faster and pressing autumn leaves in the pages of books is a good one.

Another vote for the awesomeness of the Brute Force cover.

Good lord, and the title cracked me up as well, how on earth could a movie like this be done?

I think we need to distinguish between a bad cover and what appears on its face to be a questionable movie. (I have not see it - perhaps it is a corker...) I mean, how would you propose we make this cover any better? What is the appropriate packaging for "Funky Monkey"?
