Don't know if anyone really cares but apparently, there will also be a "digital copy" with the "DD" disc, meaning I believe an easy download for your computer or mobile device like ipod etc...

Yes I care, this is good, not only a good selling point but also shows that Sony has gained faith in Dolph after Missionary Man and if it gets a kick ass cover..it'll sell..JUST LOOK AT THE MASTERPIECE WE GOT FOR MM

I watched DD again, the latest version, instead of the first screener last year, and must say I kind of enjoyed it. Much better than I remembered it, or not as bad as I remember should I say. It looks better thanks to the colour correction, while the editing seems tighter and the sound crisper. The acting doesn't seem quite as horrendous either. I was pretty harsh on William Shriver but actually his performance kind of works. The Chinese actors are pretty good too. I do wish though that Dolph's partners at the beginning, who had a Jackie Chan (without the kung-fu) vibe about him, stayed the course of the movie. I quite liked the look of it at times and the style. It was something different. It still isn't exactly one of Dolph's shining lights, but considering all the problems the production seemed to have, and how cheap it is, they did quite well really.

It's a hell of a lot better than Agent Red, Detention and Retrograde that's for sure.

What do you mean "given my credentials"? Don't malign the music because I happened to work on some poor films. And if you want to hear the tracks from DIAMOND DOGS go to DiamondDogs.theMedia.tv.

Brilliant cover - fake photoshopped bullets obviously but all the more kick ass, decent tagline - LEGEND. lol love it! Nice piece of KICK ASS ARTWORK. Should attract MANY action fans!!

Yeah, maybe isgood for marketing promotion in stores, but for us is too photoshoped. He was never so photoshoped and i hope that Sony will not turn his future covers into Seagalish...

Jox, try to show this to Dolph and maybe he can have an option for a second dvd cover. I remember the old budget The Hard Corps has changed the cover twice before it's release due to the lack of the design/concept.

Weird, the photo looks like they took a Dolph lookalike.

[Nathan]

I think its just his facial expression lol - its definately Dolph because it looks as though a screenshot from the movie was used.

It´s not Dolph in the picture

But it´s a pretty badass cover

[manudenis2005]

It's a weird cover considering Dolph's face on it.

Great! Where did you find this?

Despite the photoshopping it's a pretty awesome cover. Catches the eye in a good way- sells it well. The recent ones for Seagal and Van Damme are still pretty horrible. It does seem like Dolph is getting the most effort put into his stuff. Which is good.
