That's a thing of beauty right there.

tron is a terrible cover.they should have used the poster for the cover.where he is holding the disc up and lara is is at his leg.it is similar to the star wars episode 4 cover.also the john carter bluray is an awful cover too.

This isn’t really about covers, but I recently bought the theatrical versions of LOTR on Blu and of the three movie discs, only Return has a picture and the other two are practically blank. Even stranger, two of the special features discs have pictures, and only Fellowship’s special features disc lacks.

EDIT: Just remembered that my DVD of Fellowship that came with the Lego game even has a picture, but they couldn’t be bothered to put it on Blu? Sigh

As for discs, nothing beats the DVD bonus disc for Star Trek VI having the Enterprise-B from the following movie but upside down.

Yikes! Glad all my Trek movie discs have the original poster art on them.

Sony’s Godziller covers are classic photoshop nonesense:

Seriously, both the Thai and US posters are a wonder to behold, why this generic tripe?

No, that image in not in the movie. Besides, it’s 7 Doors of Death.

Why would they use anything other than the gold coin?

This one’s just plain stupid:

That last one reminds me of those people that have “aesthetic” blogs and listen to “vaporwave” music.

That Caligula 2 exists bakes my noodle.

And only in Europe can you have random boobies on the DVD cover! 😉

Now, that is a pretty awesome cover - only the movie’s premise doesn’t call for it. We should be seeing more of a sort of sex rampage. Like the Arrow cover, that was pretty much spot on.

Also, at what point did Malcolm McDowell’s Caligula carry a sword? Maybe it was in a deleted scene or something, I dunno.

Ol’ George has the GOUT, I see.

Astonishing cover.

Naturally that isn’t Branagh on the front. Understandable, as real likenesses can be pricey. So it’s the clipart option. Shall we go for a random non-specific medieval English/French Knight of the period depicted in the movie? Nah, why bother when we’ve got this viking photo right here!

If you look really hard you can spot that the charging combatants at the top are probably from the Napoleonic period (by the curved cavalry sabres).

By the way, the edition also comes in 3D!

That someone thought Blessed’s TPM role would be a selling point is weird. More people know him from Flash Gordon.
