That one is horrible - you should have got the Spanish one (which doesn't have a silver border shown on this site at all!) and is the right way up!

Also - the UK Casino steelbook had a lot of problems with layer change halfway through the film on a lot of them. My one had to go back - was glad as it turned out as the Spanish one looked much nicer.

I would not call any that "iconic" art. The movies may be viewed as iconic classics or favorites, but that is all new minimalist style artwork on the covers -- hardly iconic. If it were the original movie posters, I wouldn't debate it, but this?

Funny how all of them have a little design on one of the letters with the exption of Fear & lotahing!

They should have just stuck with the Ralph Steadman script. At least that part of it would have been iconic.

I'm assuming these likely won't have inner artwork, like with the comic book-style limited editions?

They could have made the ampersand (&) some sort of bat shape.

It would still be hideous, but it would've went with the others like you pointed out.

The Scarface one is pretty cool but I wont be buying it, I already have the Reel Hero's version. It sure would be nice if the studios would release some new stuff rather than the same old recycled titles over and over.

For $14 I would say you are probably right.

The exterior doesn't have artwork so I doubt if the inside will.

Some of them are ok, others... not so much. What makes me mad is that these are some of the finest films ever made. They could do so so so so so much better. I just don't understand other regions around the world get beautiful steels that almost look handcrafted and we get this crap.

I mean... it's Scarface. SCARFACE. We're talking mounds of cocaine, "Say hello to my little friend!" and Miami in all it's disco-ball, neon drenched 80s glory. And that cover has none of the film's personality. And the Psycho steel? Cute idea for a Mother's Day facebook post, maybe, but not a display worthy design.

VanDammage80 · 08-13-2014, 07:31 PM

Maybe, I just don't remember but does the red circle on the Werewolf cover have any relevance to the movie at all? I haven't watched it in awhile. It just seems pretty random.

I'm going to quote myself from the Fear and Loathing thread:

Symbol for the London Underground?

It's a play on the London Underground logo

Sweet King Kong!!!!! I hope it's the original, not the Peter Jackson one.

Ahh, okay. Never would have remembered that. Thanks.
