The UK Blu-Ray Cover Spoils The Ending


Although I'm aware that most people who buy the film will know the ending. However, they shouldn't have shown Donald Sutherland from the very last scene from on the cover.

Not sure if the cover is the same over seas!

Don't know what Arrow were thinking with that spoilerific cover. That's why I went for the steelbook version instead.

Shame the booklet inside went with the spoiler cover as you can see on this link.

Other than that this is the best release of the film so far. It beats the U.S. version as it includes the director's commentary and some other extras.

That's almost as bad as the UK dvd release of the 1968 Planet Of The Apes film. It has Charlton on the front gazing at the statue of liberty! πŸ˜‚

I watched the UK DVD last night and they've got the Donald Sutherland shot on the menu screen! You actually have to see that shot in order to select Play Movie!

Excellent movie BTW, I love that 1970s realistic style.

It's probably the most well-known shot from the movie. I only watched this for the first time today, but I've seen that image many, many time over the years on horror movie lists and the like. Kinda strange, I thought the most iconic scene should be the one where Matthew is being cloned. That whole sequence blew my mind.

i watched it for the first time the other day and I recognized the final shot from the gif on twitter. had no idea where it was from. it made me laugh and kinda ruined the effect
