Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter bigfub

I have no idea why people are ordering this, what is wrong with you people?! By ordering this you're telling them that this sort of design is perfectly ok, so could those same people tell me what the **** a bank vault has got to do with this film!!!!!!!!!! 
glad it worked for you.That's the way I'm going with this release too, I'm leaning towards keeping it as it looks like an interesting package and I don't have the film on bluray etc. but figured I'd rather order now with a discount then cancel later if needed instead of ordering later without one.

Personally, I like the Steelbook despite the design being random. If you don't like it, that's cool, but there's no need to try and force your views on everyone else.

This seems be a common thing, people personally don't like something which is fine but they then are appalled if some people do like it and wish to order it. I personally really like it, the front is a bit different instead of having the standard Austin picture.
That's great but can you tell me a) why do you like the design, and b) what has it got to do with the film??? I notice you chose to ignore that part of my post...
a) Because it's different to generic steelbook number one million and one.
b) Who says it has to be? Perhaps they're locking away the 'top secret' film inside a vault?
NOT preordered. I'm a bit sour on Zavvi right now. I like the price, but I hate the random design
You could ask that about a lot of covers.
Example: What the hell is Scarlett Johansson doing on the cover of HER? She never appears in the film.

I discussed this with someone in the corresponding thread, and was told Johanssons' face is formed from binary pattern face recognition. So it still makes more sense than this artwork in my opinion.
I've seen this movie (Austin Powers 1) many times years ago and although I don't mind the design, the reasoning behind it escapes me. It's "top secret" because he's a spy that's the only connection I can draw from this.
Be careful. You never know who might be reading. Maybe all the future Disney Classics steelbooks will be an image of an open vault with the classic VHS cover inside.I discussed this with someone in the corresponding thread, and was told Johanssons' face is formed from binary pattern face recognition.

I'm wondering.... Is this a zavvi exclusive because of the poster and artcards, it says Exclusive Poster & Art Cards in the product description...?
I'm thinking a standard tradewide release may be forthcoming .... without the extra stuff, you know like Fast 6 ?

I think your right, it looks 'something' like it...
I actually like this steelbook and thanks to the 10% code, just pre-ordered it. Go ahead, flame away....
Interesting, perhaps this Steelbook was supposed to be frozen in time and be released three years ahead from now.
I honestly don't think it's that bad apart from that obvious blunder. Especially when a mistake like this could've been rectified with a Google search!

Not watched this yet and don't know the significance or otherwise of the bank vault but do like simple designs like this. Ordered as it's a decent price for a steelbook with "extras" and we all know that just because people slag off steelbooks (think ROGER RABBIT gold Anniversary edition) that doesn't stop them selling out quickly.
Easy pass for me. I don't hate these movies but will tolerate them if they are on the boob tube...doubt I'd ever spend money on them.
Easy pass. I'm pretty upset with Zavvi right now so unless it's something I really need and I am willing to take a gamble on, then it's a PASS. NEXT!!!!!
Ps what's up with a bank vault? I'd much prefer if they threw in an enlarger pump and a crushed velvet

But just like with the Guardians of the Galaxy steelbook, the designers botched the artwork. It's a completely different vault door!
