  1. This cover combines both the Thai and Italian theatrical posters from 1989!

  3. 3 Lundgren`s on one poster is a bit much, though....and I bet that also is just photoshopped, no real brushes involved.

    1. Ha ha ha! 3 Lundgrens on the same cover is definitely a statement! lol. It might be photoshopped, but what I like about it is that it's reminiscent of old school 80's action posters. But as "anonymous" stated above, more along the lines of the Thai, Italian and even some of the German covers. It looks cool!

  4. Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of this film but I'm loving the old school cover. Actually might have to purchase it - I'm loving the amount of extras they've given it.

    1. For me, it's the fact that it's competently made by Joseph Zito and despite having some lull sequences in the middle when he's roaming the desert, it's got a lot of action really well done. Add on top of that Lundgren hitting the big leagues in that particular point of his career and it's really more of a nostalgia thing for me. And you're right, the extras are "drool" worthy. Props to Synapse Films for putting those together.
