That's great!

I also find that picture interesting for the notable "Broke" trend in the titles. Brokeback... Broken Bridges... Broken Trail. It's interesting that the work "broke" is so common in westerns. I wonder why that is, of if there's some kind of history behind that?

Not only the titles..... Also the pictures bear a great deal of resemblance; two faces with cowboy hats.
I wonder which of those three movies is the oldest, and hence set the pattern?

I can't read it either. But to me it looks like an address.

Hi everybody,

It was just the video store's name and address on the sticker. It's wierd though now that I think about it that only BBM has that sticker on it, and none of the rest did (that I remember).

I wonder if they did that because the closet cases in town would rent their copies of BBM and then not return them (to keep them for themselves because they'd be too nervous buying it at the Walmart in McMinnville.)
