WTF??? - Poster Perversion

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #3
This Filipino kidsploitation looks like a hootin' good time!

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #2

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #1

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'.

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.

Tilt (Mexico)
Totally inappropriate and pedophilic lobby card for this tame drama, starring 13 year-old Brooke Shields as a pinball wizard.

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

Detournement de mineur

Sau Saal Baad

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

Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks – German lobby card #5
Unless you've seen the film, your guess is as good as mine/

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

Ramo a.k.a. Turkish Rambo (Turkey)
Original poster for Turkish "Rambo" remake which seems to have lost a consonant.

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

Rat Savior
Is it horror? Is it comedy? Is it pretentious arthouse fare? Your guess is as good as mine.

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.

Satanik (Turkey)
STOLEN SKINMAG PHOTO?

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.

The Super Riders – Lebanese lobby card #1
Lobby card from Lebanon for Japanese fantasy flick

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.
