Just think...they could have justifiably plastered an "Academy Award Nominee!" banner on this cover...

...and they didn't

Also, they really should have put "Featuring Starship!" somewhere on this cover. That's a bigger selling point than the films themselves, which is saying something considering how awful that song was.

Mannequin was nominated in the Best Original Song category for the truly wretched "Nothing's Gonna Stop us Now" by Starship. I dunno if that doesn't count because someone says 'it was really the composer and not the movie that was nominated' but if I was producing this disc believe me I'd throw that "Academy Award Nominee" banner on there. Anything to move a few copies of something you just know ain't gonna sell so hot (well, except to me because I can't resist bad cinema).

Mannequin was one of my mom's favorite movies and I'm sure I saw it fifty times growing up.

When I was in the sixth grade in 1989, I started a school newspaper. My little girlfriend wanted to write movie reviews, and turned in a review of Mannequin. She had clearly invested a great deal of time writing a lengthy essay about a movie she had probably just watched on video with her parents. I said, "Do you seriously expect me to run a review for a movie that came out two years ago?" She cried. Good times.

Seriously. They might as well have thrown a Tarantino quote in.

For the full effect though we should change the text at the top to "From the internationally acclaimed director of Reservoir Dogs and Death Proof"

Then under the title - "Strand Releasing, in association with Quentin Tarantino presents a film by Tsai Ming-Liang (aka some guy or other).

I can't decide whether these are terrible or brilliant, but there are definitely some problems of scale in the second one.

Ahhh, I'm assuming you have not seen the glory that is "Shark Attack 3: Megalodon", for if you did...
Spoiler
...you would surely know that the Megalodon is so freakin' huge, it swallows a life raft full of people whole. Twice.
The movie also features the greatest exchange in film history, which I cannot write in mixed company, but I'm sure is on the imdb quote board.

No movie could ever live up to a title that good.
