Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country picture

Trivia: The Klingon who defends Kirk and McCoy at the trial is Michael Dorn, the actor who plays Worf in The Next Generation. The Klingon makeup is also identical, even though it is supposed to be a different character. (The makeup is actually more subdued than the makeup for TNG [flatter] but it looks similar because he is actually playing one of Lieutenant Worf's ancestors.)

The Guyver picture

Trivia: Mark Hamill is depicted on the poster and cover art in such a way to suggest he's the "Guyver." In actuality, he merely plays a supporting character, while soap-opera actor Jack Armstrong plays Sean Baker/The Guyver. It has been suggested that this rather deceptive artwork was put together to lure in Hamill's fans from films like "Star Wars" by making him appear to be the lead character.
