UK has better artwork than North American releases.

Well I bought it here in Denmark, so I assume it's the Scandinavian version. But please don't take this as a guarantee. They might not all come with the lenticular, the one I bought was the only one in the store.

My most obvious choice for the US version is with The Crow; that UK cover really sucks big time!!!

Wow, you are right! The North America cover art is like a million times better

I am not OCD about cover arts but US did something which is unbelievable and also unforgivable and the company should be punished and sued for using such horrible art work instead of classy beautiful art. Decide yourself.

UK Cover:



I mean why the need to change to make it look like a b grade movie?

Completely depends on the cover, but I can't stand those insane looking hazmat ratings logos on almost every Euro release.

I usually don't care about steelbooks and cases at all but I actually ordered the UK Akira BD Collector's Edition steelbook just for the case (the disc was region locked so it couldn't be used, but I already had the US release) when it first came out. There's no ratings logos on it at all - it looks fantastic. They put all the logos and credit information on a small cardboard strip around the case (so it could just be tossed).

Hazmat ratings logos, ha ha. That is EXACTLY what they look like. Hilarious.

That UK Manhunter looks beautiful.

Now it does:

I can remember back in the 60's & 70's when all the employees at record stores would argue the same thing about record covers on vinyl. UK vs US artwork and I think as some of you have already pointed out depends on the particular LP or Blu-Ray which is best . Case Closed. Rick

Just remove the ratings on the spine and it's perfect!

UK cover for 12 Angry Men. Looks more like an Ocean's 12 cover



and for comparison sake, the US Criterion cover

[Ignotum]

In this case I prefer UK.
