Death Race - Floating heads ... Again!



I feel like maybe they got this one backwards. When looking at the bottom of the poster you see some explosive cars bursting off the page. I like the bottom 40% of the poster and think if that was blown up to take over the whole thing, we’d have a nice little image on our hands. Sadly, they went with the straight-to-DVD style poster of floating heads.

Trouble with the floating heads is that it has been done to death and we now associate it with titles that have gone to DVD. It's like using Trajan Pro for your premier image and the DVD cover.

Above i have included a cut down version of the actual poster, removing the floating heads. Let me know what you think about floating heads on film posters? Do they always work?
