WTF??? - Poster Perversion

Dog Soldiers (Pakistan)
An odd poster for Neil Marshall's "Dog Soldier" (sic), featuring creatures that look more were-ape than were-wolf. And I don't remember those bikini gals making an appearance anywhere in the film. This must be another creative recycling of movie poster images I've learned to expect (and love) from Pakistan.

Shaolin vs. Evil Dead – version B (Pakistan)
Ever hear of the EVIL DEAD sequel Sam Raimi shot in Hong Kong? Neither did we. The poster says 'Evil Dead 4' but it's really a 2004 martial arts/horror flick starring Gordon Liu.

Robo Force (Pakistan)
At first glance, that's Linda Blair and her heaving breasts from 'Savage Streets'. But once you get to the bottom-half, the fraud is exposed. This is a Pakistani poster 'mash-up' for a 'Robocop'-inspired comedy from Hong Kong called "Robo Force", a.k.a. "I Love Maria".

Dog Lay Afternoon (Turkey)
Sick sick sick ! This Italian sleaze sundae features Ilona 'Cicciolina' Staller and was written and co-directed by actor George Eastman (a.k.a. Luigi Montefiori), star of many sleazy Italian films. Oddly, Joe D'Amato had nothing to do with this film.

Los Vampiros de Coyoacan

Krasue Grahailuead (Thai)
Weird as it may look to Westerners, the Krasue (the flying head'n'organs witch) is very common in the folklore of Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and the Phillippines., and has already appeared in 30+ films. The title here literally means "Bloody Filth-Eating Spirit”.

Enigma de Muerte (Mexico)
Masked wrestler investigates a circus that's a cover for escaped Nazis. The lead Nazi, played by John Carradine (!), masquerades as a clown by day. Oddly, the scary guy in the mask on the picture is the GOOD guy.

Poppea- A Prostitute in Service of the Emperor (Finland)

Pets (Pakistan)
More filched artwork? While the girls on the bottom-half of the poster are definitely from 'Pets', I suspect the top-half of the poster was nicked from a different movie poster to make this look like a prison-break flick.

The King of Comedy (Turkey)
The Turks prove they were masters of 'bait and switch' with this poster that's completely inappropriate for the film it's advertising. While the image screams 80's porn, the film is actually Martin Scorsese's "The King of Comedy" (the Turkish title literally means 'king of laughter') starring Robert DeNiro and Jerry Levis, I mean Lewis.

Sau Saal Baad

The Crippled Masters (Yugo)
A man with no arms teams up with a man with no legs to fight the man who crippled them. Hands-down the most tasteless martial arts film you'll ever see, starring real handicapped actors.

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #1

Tijuana Caliente (Mexico)

The Girls Who Do (Germany)
Holy Stretchmarks! I agree there's too much Photoshop on contemporary movie posters, but on this German sex comedy poster there couldn't be enough of it. I've seen this film, and I know there are better-looking women in it than this.

Pecador (Poland)
Hard-drinking masked wrestler battles space aliens and Sasquatch in this low-budget, feature-length Polish homage to Mexican wrestling movies by Dawid Gryza and Paweł Kaczmarek.

King Kong Ki Waapsi (India)
Indian poster for a film titled "King Kong Returns" which is most likely 1986's 'King Kong Lives', directed by John Guillermin, redubbed and released in India to cash in on the success of Peter Jackson's 'King Kong'. It's certain that 'producer' Raju Bahruz had nothing to do with the production of the film.

The Incredible Kids (Turkey)
Kung-fu kidsploitation comedy from Taiwan. The Turkish title means "Little Rambos", which if you think about it, is a far better title than 'The Incredible Kids'.

House of 1000 Dolls (Turkey)
Is there really a Grindhouse God?

A*P*E (Belgium)
Giant ape + giant shark + giant snake = giant turd. Thank God it's got 'Mega Sound'! This American / South Korean co-production was rushed into production to capitalize on the release of Dino De Laurentiis' King Kong remake.

Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park (Mexico)
What were they thinking? The band hates this movie, because they claim it made them look silly. Really guys, you didn't see that coming after reading the script?

Shaolin vs. Evil Dead – version A (Pakistan)
Ever hear of the EVIL DEAD sequel Sam Raimi shot in Hong Kong? Neither did we. The poster says 'Evil Dead 4' but it's really a 2004 martial arts/horror flick starring Gordon Liu.

Mr. No Legs
"Don't Cross Him or He'll Cut You Down to Size"

Narcosatanicos Diabolicos
Wacky Mexican sex comedy, somehow involving drugs and Satan

Agent 00 – Turkish lobby card #1
Turkish lobby card for Filipino midgetsploitation, starring Weng Weng!!!
