The other day, I was browsing through my local video store, and I spotted this movie called RPMJust by looking at the box, you can see it reeks of cheesy, straight-to-video crap, but my favorite part is the tagline:

They're addicted to stealing fast cars.

Okay.  Sure.  It's straightforward, it's easy to understand.  Not much of a tagline, though.  Even for a David Arquette movie, it seems a little uninspired.  In fact, it seems like just a description of the movie.  I mean, they could have at least done something like:

RPM:  They've got the feel for stealing the wheels!

or

RPM:  Rack and Pinion Stealing!

Okay, both of those suck major ass, but still.  Just a little imagination can work wonders for your tagline (and lower back pain).

Just imagine if the marketing department for RPM had created taglines for a bunch of other films... hmm... I wonder what what would that be like...
