WTF??? - Poster Perversion

Detournement de mineur

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #2

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.

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".

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.

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #1

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.

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

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

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".

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.

Ratman

Sau Saal Baad

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 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.

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”.

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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