Misleading UK Marketing


I liked this film, but the UK marketing makes it look (as I thought it was going to be) as if it concerns a war between Rome and China, hence the clash of empires. But, it doesn't - far from it. Still, a nice film, albeit lacking any clashing empires (Clash of Villages would have been a more apt title).

I came across this title for almost the exact same reason, due to the UK release DVD. I ended up on the UK distributors website first, Metrodome/In2Film, I have to say they should give the person who is designing there DVD covers a raise.
While browsing I noticed a lot of other titles in there catalogue that I have seen, and the covers makes them look a lot more exciting and in some cases bigger budgeted than they are. Much better than the original posters/covers by the film companies themselves.

Some of the best covers I have seen for a long time, totally misleading for a lot of the titles but it's keeping them in business, so they have to be admired.

Better title would have been 'Culture Clash.'
