* ''Film/OlympusHasFallen'': I though Freeman was the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Olympus_Has_Fallen_poster.jpg black one]]. The sequel ''Film/LondonHasFallen'' takes this UpToEleven as not only are the names [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/london_has_fallen_poster3.jpg still displaced]], they're no longer matching from the first poster either!

* The album cover for "Double Fantasy" switches the names of Music/JohnLennon and Music/YokoOno.

[[caption-width-right:350:Creator/RachelMcAdams was clearly having a tough day.]]

* Zig-zagged with ''Film/StayTuned.'' While the film's [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a7/Stay_Tuned_Poster.jpg original theatrical poster]] had Creator/JohnRitter and Pam Dawber's names not match up with their corresponding actors, all home video releases, such as [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/34446922_sa_2.jpg this recent 2019 Blu-Ray release]], have the cover art literally reversed, completely averting the trope.

* ''Film/TheBlindSide'' (the HBO made-for-tv movie starring Ron Silver, not the Sandra Bullock film) has [[http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/33300000/33307899.JPG this]] DVD cover, in which Silver and Rebecca de Mornay get swapped.

* CrosbyStillsAndNash: their first album, the photo used for the cover has from left to right: Nash, Stills, and Crosby. Somewhat [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], apparently: According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, the photo was taken at an abandoned house, and at the time, the three had not yet decided on a name. By the time they settled on "Crosby, Stills and Nash", the house had been torn down.

* The album cover for "Double Fantasy" switches the names of Creator/JohnLennon and Creator/YokoOno.

* ''Film/SherlockHolmes'': [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sherlock-Holmes-Poster_4327.jpg This poster]] confuses Creator/RobertDowneyJr with Jude Law.

* ''Film/MorningGlory'''s [[http://www.shockya.com/news/wp-content/uploads/morning_glory_movie_poster.jpg poster]] puts Creator/HarrisonFord's name over Creator/RachelMcAdams' face and vice versa. It gets Diane Keaton right, though.

* ''Film/FreakyFriday2003'' has a poster that shows Creator/JamieLeeCurtis and Creator/LindsayLohan below each other's names, in reference to their characters spending most of the movie [[FreakyFridayFlip trapped in each other's bodies]].

You are looking at a film poster. There's the [[PoliceLineup lineup]] of the movie's cast, or their [[FloatingHeadSyndrome floating heads]], or their [[MirroredConfrontationShot mirrored profiles]]. You look up at the names of the actors, and much to the annoyance of your inner [[NeatFreak neat freak]], the names listed don't match up with the actors!

* Imagine how neat and organized the ''{{WesternAnimation/Shrek}}'' [[http://www.impawards.com/2001/posters/shrek_ver2.jpg poster]] would be if the names of the voice actors lined up in accordance to how each character is positioned below.

* The [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f7/Georgia_rule.jpg poster]] for ''Georgia Rule'' has a picture of the three stars, their names, and the tagline "Mother. Daughter. Grandaughter."--none of which properly line up.

* CrosbyStillsAndNash: their first album, the photo used for the cover has from left to right: Nash, Stills, and Crosby. According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, the photo was taken at an abandoned house, and at the time, the three had not yet decided on a name. By the time they settled on "Crosby, Stills and Nash", the house had been torn down.

* CrosbyStillsAndNash: their first album, the photo used for the cover has from left to right: Nash, Stills, and Crosby!

* A slight variation occurred in one poster promoting ''Film/TropicThunder'': BenStiller, Creator/JackBlack, and Creator/RobertDowneyJr all had their names prominently listed on the top of the poster, but only Ben Stiller and Robert Downey, Jr were in the actual image. This actually lead to some controversy: The film was already becoming a bit controversial for Downey, Jr. spending most of his screen-time in black face; The placement of the names and the fact that the actors were listed by surname also made it look as though he was being billed as "Black Downey Jr".

* [[http://www.movie-poster-artwork-finder.com/posters/the-lucky-one-poster-artwork-zac-efron-taylor-schilling-blythe-danner.jpg This poster]] for ''Film/TheLuckyOne'', starring ZacEfron and Taylor Schilling.

* ''Film/BadBoys II'': [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bad_boys_two.jpg Will Smith and Martin Lawrence]] get swapped.

* ''Film/TheFlightOfThePhoenix1965'': The [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/Flight_of_the_Phoenix_%281965%29.jpg DVD cover]] appears to label Hardy Kruger as [[Creator/JimmyStewart James Stewart]] and James Stewart as Richard Attenborough (who isn't on the cover).

* CrosbyStillsandNash: their first album, the photo used for the cover has from left to right: Nash, Stills, and Crosby!
