WTF??? - Poster Perversion

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.

Hollow-Eyed Ghost (Thailand)
I know nothing about this Thai horror film, except that the title means "Hollow-Eyed Ghost". But judging by the stunningly macabre artwork, I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled for this one.

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.

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

Agent 00 – Turkish lobby card #3
Turkish lobby card for Filipino midgetsploitation, starring Weng Weng!!!

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

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.

Los Vampiros de Coyoacan

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #2

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.

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.

Sau Saal Baad

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.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (Turkey)
One of my favorite posters in my entire collection. Read on to find out why...

Tatar Ramazan (Turkey)
Eye-catching art for what looks like a badass Turkish revenge flick but probably isn't.

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

Asi Kabadayi (Turkey)
The film's title roughly translates to "Rebel Bully", but trash-cinephiles know this film better as 'Turkish Wolverine' for obvious reasons. Starring Serdar, Turkey's Sylvester Stallone, who also starred in 'Turkish Rambo' and 'Turkish Rocky'.

Ratman

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".

Shaitani Dracula (Pakistan)
Looks like the special effects department raided the dollar store after Halloween in preparation for this Bollywood horror production.

Cocaine Wars (Egypt)
'Cocaine Wars' was a cheap straight-to-video production starring "Duke of Hazzard" John Schneider. So what is David Carradine from "P.O.W.: The Escape" doing on here?

The Super Riders – Lebanese lobby card #2
Lobby card from Lebanon for Japanese fantasy flick

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

Kara Simsek 1 a.k.a. Turkish Rocky
Turkish cinema is known for its many 'remakes' of Western box-office successes. This one is better known as "Turkish Rocky" for obvious reasons. Oddly, the Turkish title "Kara Simsek" was also used for the "Knight Rider" TV series, perhaps explaining the numeral appended to the title of this movie. Serdar also starred in "Turkish Rambo".

Parasmani (India)
"We're gonna need a bigger can of bug-spray." One scary acid-trip of a poster for a 1963 Hindi musical fantasy film.
