WTF??? - Poster Perversion

Agent 00 – Turkish lobby card #2
Turkish lobby card for Filipino midgetsploitation, starring Weng Weng!!!

Sau Saal Baad

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".

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

Satanik (Turkey)
STOLEN SKINMAG PHOTO?

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

Detournement de mineur

White Slaver
AKA Penthouse Playgirls. Swiss sleaze from the prolific Erwin C. Dietrich.

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.

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)

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".

Robbery of the Mummies of Guanajuato – lobby card #2
Mexican wrestlers + walking corpses + ass-kicking dwarf-thugs = the perfect cinematic accompaniment to pizza and beer

Los Vampiros de Coyoacan

Ratman

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.

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.

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.

The Sex Adventures of the Three Musketeers (Germany)
Noxiously misogynistic German poster for Erwin C. Dietrich sex comedy. You could never get away with movie advertising like this today, nor would you want to.

Crocodile Evil (Thailand)
Another freaky-looking Thai poster for a weird-ass 80's Hong Kong horror flick. I'm going to pretend that crocodile isn't doing what I think its doing between that girl's legs.
