I used to work at Blockbuster and there was this guy who worked with me who had a vendetta against Asylum. He was a manager and would tell everyone to warn people not to rent their movies and make sure they knew it wasn't the movie they thought it was. At the time, their model was release the similar movie on DVD while the actual movie was still in theaters.
One day the dude comes in to work and he's just furious. He had rented a movie called "30,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and when he got home his wife was like "Isn't it '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'?" He looked at the back and saw it was from Asylum. He said he couldn't believe they had gotten him. After that he took them all the Asylum movies off the shelves and was like "NEVER AGAIN!" It was hilarious.
