Spot the mistake on the cover (Game)

[figrin_dan]

I get the impression almost every Blu-ray has a mistake on the cover - either spelling mistake or incorrect running time (Fox) etc. How about a game to make us all feel superior to the cover artists?

I'll start with the one that gave me the idea for this:



Name that mistake. . . [hint: I mention it in the MP UK thread)

Only thing can think of in Mary Poppins is that the 50th Anniversary is at the end of this year (next year in some places)

Should be "Nicolas" Cage? Without the H!

So, foreign-release covers make design mistakes and English misspellings?
Well, knock me over with a wet noodle.

I know! I was gonna buy the amaray but now someone pointed it out to me it's put me off - I'm not usually that pernickety but once you see it you can't help but shake your head every time...

I would stay far away from this Blu-ray because the transfer is really poor!

As far as i can tell, none of these are foreign releases, hence the BBFC ratings on all them...

Did you even notice that these are all UK releases?

He's listed as being from New England which would make them foreign to him...

And it's not like these complaints, we're not complaining about "The Color Purple" or something that is somewhat understandable.

Although, Fox did change "The Counselor" to "The Counsellor" for the UK market (even though we don't call them counsellors in the UK)...

If by foreign, you mean the UK, where English is the primary spoken language, sure.

The point of mentioning these are from the UK is because he's acting like this is some Chinese or other country release where English isn't the primary language and are more prone to mistakes.

Obviously no one here can see the mistake since you're posting the front cover, while the mistake is apparently on the back...

And also not cover-designed by the actual Hollywood studio that released the film and NA disk.
Each country's release company pretty much does their own, and that's a pretty eclectic bag.

That's what I heard, but isn't it just the AQ that's poor? It's a shame there's such an average transfer available, it's one of my favourite films.
