You guys are big fans of this movie, believe or not I haven't seen it. The artwork is simple but I kind of like it ... so I will be definitely getting a copy.

You aren't alone...I don't think i've seen this either.

I tend to avoid films with any hint of the word 'romance' in it

then you must have missed "tarantino" on the credited people who made this movie

But in all fairness there are BULLET HOLES in that word

It's not your usual romance film Naughtius, Would say its a man's romance film, it has everything, hookers, pimps, drugs, guns and of course romance, plus an awesome cast!

Not very imaginative, is it? All black steels just seem like cutting corners.

I remember people walked out the cinema back then (at a major film festival here in The Netherlands). A couple of years later True Romance was on national television, prime time 20:30. Nobody cared about the violence, as it was accepted by then. A blast from the past, I am in.

True Romance is a classy movie. I remember having to travel 50 miles with a mate to see it at Leicester Square in '93, because it wasn't showing at my local fleapit, and I'm so glad I did.
It's also arguably the last time Christian Slater was in a movie worth watching!
The ES art looks to be the same as the special edition DVD slip-case that was released years back, as has been noted.
It's a little unimaginative, I'd have preferred one of the mock ups on here or even the cover from my old U.S Laserdisc, but if it's a gloss finish with embossing or debossing it may redeem itself!

The laserdisc cover was pants! it's one of the few I was really disappointed with when it came out. It's also the same cover they used for both the dvd and standard blu ray with a touch of colour added.

Personally I would love to have seen the original theatrical poster art used, as so far no TR release has used it.

It might just be rose tinted spectacles with regards to the Laserdisc cover-I'll have to dig it out and take another look. It's a touch on the blue side isn't it?
I agree about the original movie poster, that would of been nice!

 

[WKRP]

The standard amaray art isn't great either. This is blah. I don't think gloss can save this turkey, or if it would even be better than flat. This think was just pasted together in 5 minutes or less. I think they grabbed a donut and coffee during that 5 minutes.

Pass, artwork sucks.

That would have been so much better! With the Walken / Hopper scene as the inside art!

Awesome! Would buy this instantly. Need more white Steelbooks to compensate for all those uninspiring black releases
