Crappy DVD cover art thread!

Post by saltysam »

Ok this film was a flop and it's not all that good.So to make some cash back you'd expect them to do an enticing top notch dvd cover. instead they come out with this crap :D if you've seen truly awful/crappy dvd covers give us a laugh and post them here!

Many of USA DVD covers are absolute CRAP.

I'm sure someone will post the Constipated Jet Li dvd cover (I THINK it was for Hero?), or the 1001 Jackie Chan in black T shirt dvd covers.

USA design is pretty mediocre.

It was for Fearless.

You should see the R4 cover of CTHD, CYF's head looks like a boiled egg.

I like that Fists Of Bruce Lee cover. Reminds me of the days when videos used to have great artwork

That War and DM2 covers aren't that bad. Sure they're not great but both at least look professional. EIV are the masters of awful cover art:

And the mack daddy of attrocious cover art is (also bloody used on the BD!). I cannot even believe this cover art is used on a professional DVD! -

That Underworld one is atrocious. USA War cover is much more appealing than the uk one imo

Agreed. That's not what I meant though, at least the UK cover looks professional.

Yikes. That art for THE CROW is staggeringly awful.

EIV insist on slapping "quotes" all over the front cover.

Lol at the "we can't be arsed" approach for IMAGE OF BRUCE LEE.

Who the hell is Chang Leih? :?

Some of the Rarescope covers are pretty wretched. "From the co-director of Chang Cheh"??? "A 1978's film"???
