The tagline was apparently written by a 13 year-old.

Further cements Albert Pyun's place as a genius of absurd awfulness. I laughed so hard when I saw this. Must own.manicsounds wrote:Apparently, not a joke. The official Albert Pyun Director's Cut DVD-R of 1990's Captain America

The "Commentary only" DVD works, but as it literally just has the commentary I can't really 'watch' the film.

It looks like they gave him the lower half of Bradley Cooper's face from Limitless.

Wasn't she part of that little thing called the 2008 elections, where she lost?

It's like some sort of perverse graphic design challenge: make a cover that looks like the Criterion, but only use this 17-year-old CD of clip art and free fonts.

Looks like it's time to retire the Criterion DVD but what a blatant rip off from their excellent cover.

Re: Worst DVD Covers...ever! (Part 3-D)
The other Ealing blu covers have a similar feel, Whisky Galore! reminds me of some corporate team-building poster. I sort of like them, but the more I look at them I can't help but think, "this looks like some graphic designer trying to be 'trendy.'"

But weirdly, the rest are actually very good (though definitely trendy). This one is just an insane mess, like they had a summer intern pick up where the previous professional designer left off.Murdoch wrote:The other Ealing blu covers have a similar feel

Re: Worst DVD Covers...ever! (Part 3-D)
Why release good movies when you can release straight to video films with horrible covers? And to think Studio Canal thought releasing their films through Lionsgate was a good idea....

I actually like Sean William Scott so it sucks to see him in this sort of stuff.
