* CoversAlwaysLie: Take a look at [[http://images.moviepostershop.com/stand-alone-movie-poster-1985-1020249152.jpg this.]] First off, they really slimmed down Charles Durning in that drawing. Second, he ''never'' uses a bat at all anywhere in the film. On the Starmaker VHS cover, they use the same painting, but add a small drawing in there of a bat-wielding Louis versus three thugs, which again never happens in the film. However, both are better than ''[[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IDzMKgddAWA/TS1UKqBnUJI/AAAAAAAAAGc/4mTMawtCRik/s1600/stand%2Balone%2Bvhs.jpg THIS]]'' abomination, where they quite blatantly photoshopped Durning's head onto someone else's body. To add insult to injury, ''they Photoshopped his head onto the body of one of the thugs he's fighting in the film.''
