One of the most terrifying and ugly, yet somehow bland, menu screens on a DVD I’ve seen in awhile.
“After an offhand boast costs him his best fighting cock — and his chances at the Cockfighter of the Year award along with it — Frank (Warren Oates) swears not to speak again until he has redeemed himself by winning that medal. But his fortunes continue to decline, and soon, he’s lost much more, including his girlfriend.”

Apparently Cockfighter, a surprisingly great movie by Monte Hellman with Warren Oates, was also released as Born to Kill. But nothing in the Born to Kill promotional material happens in the movie. The DVD itself is no more accurate, with a woman taking off her top; this doesn’t happen either.
