What a stupid cover art of the DVD!!!


Seemingly artist mever seen the movie, but was told about it by the phone - "Hey, dude, do some picture with 2 choppers and 1 downed www2 plane".

How on earth he could place 2 soviet military Mi-24 helicopters (http://combatavia.info/new_mi24v.jpg) into the movie, where everyone flies civil western helicopters from Bell? How the hell istead of Yankee Zephyr DC-3 there is a picture of (most probably) also soviet Tupolev Tu-2 bomber (http://www.airwar.ru/image/idop/bww2/tu2-1947/tu2-1947-1.jpg)?

Its a shame

Agree, the DVD cover is idiotic. But the helicopters in the movie, excepting one, are Hughes 300 and 500s. There is a Bell 412 that the bad guys have.

I was watching it on ThisTV and came here and saw that cover and though, "Wow! Three Russian helicopters are going to invade New Zeland?? This is going to be a strange ending." Then I noticed it wasn't a DC3.

That cover must be for a pirated chinese version!

Well, someone thought it would sell more DVDs. A bad move, I know, but, well...what are you gonna do?
