Impossibly Cool Cover Art: Day of Wrath

Christopher Lambert is a man who has been responsible for some genuinely-good performances (Greystoke), some mildly-good ones (Highlander IV) and some terrible ones (Absolon). Occasionally though, he makes a movie that is not funny, terrible or entertaining. Unfortunately, nobody told that to the DVD disc art guys...Yeah, that movie is a lot less interesting than the cover makes you think. It is not bad- just alright. The fact that you cast Lambert and Brian 'King of the Hawkmen' Blessed in your movie and make it about people hiding their Jewish heritage during the Inquisition is beyond me. At least you did not make a badly Photo-shopped version as well.
Oh well, at least you did not make a third one that is actually honest too.That's enough Lambert for now. Up next, a British film about, oh, I don't know, Satan! Stay tuned...

  2. I'm most fond of the original, if only because it makes Lambert look like the villain from "Ghostbusters 2."

    Like I said though, at least the last one gives you an idea of what the film is really about. The others make it look like "The Musketeer."
