Title: Similar cover art..
Post by: Myxo on January 30, 2004, 02:12:37 PM
I noticed something. I'm sure there are more covers like this. These look an aweful lot alike.

Is it just me, or do these look alike? I'm pretty sure the National Lampoon cover is a spoof on a Conan the Barbarian poster.

There are more posters and DVD covers that have this effect to them. I can't remember any off the top of my head.

Here is another National Lampoon movie that has the same effect.

So, you people who know your DVD artwork, post similar covers. I'm curious to see if I am right. I'm sure there is more to this..

Of course those posters are all spoofs/homages to:
