WTF??? - Poster Perversion

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 #2

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'.

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.

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'.

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 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.

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.

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".

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.

Los Vampiros de Coyoacan

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

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

Friday the 13th (Turkey)
Turkish one-sheet for the first entry in the "Friday the 13th" franchise, though the main image, cast and director (Steve Miner) would suggest that this is really for "Friday the 13th, Part 2".

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

Abby (Mexico)
Blaxploitation meets demonic possession, directed by William Girdler. So why is there a shot from a Jean Rollin film on here?

Ratman

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Kedi Karateci (Turkey)
I'm a sucker for tacky poster art which is why I scarfed up this Turkish poster for unknown martial arts film immediately. The title literally means "Karate Cat" though this is most likely a retitling.

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