WTF???

The weirdest, most baffling or downright insane movie posters on the planet.

  • Agent 00 – Turkish lobby card #3
    Agent 00 – Turkish lobby card #3
    Turkish lobby card for Filipino midgetsploitation, starring Weng Weng!!!
  • Dog Soldiers (Pakistan)
    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.
  • Hollow-Eyed Ghost (Thailand)
    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.
  • Kara Simsek 1 a.k.a. Turkish Rocky
    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".
  • The Girls Who Do (Germany)
    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.
  • Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks – German lobby card #5
    Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks – German lobby card #5
    Unless you've seen the film, your guess is as good as mine/
  • Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #1
    Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #1
  • Sau Saal Baad
    Sau Saal Baad
  • Robo Force (Pakistan)
    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".
  • Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #2
    Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #2
  • Enigma de Muerte (Mexico)
    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.
  • Tijuana Caliente (Mexico)
    Tijuana Caliente (Mexico)
  • The Sex Adventures of the Three Musketeers (Germany)
    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.
  • Los Vampiros de Coyoacan
    Los Vampiros de Coyoacan
  • Asi Kabadayi (Turkey)
    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'.
  • Tatar Ramazan (Turkey)
    Tatar Ramazan (Turkey)
    Eye-catching art for what looks like a badass Turkish revenge flick but probably isn't.
  • The Crippled Masters (Yugo)
    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 King of Comedy (Turkey)
    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.
  • Narcosatanicos Diabolicos
    Narcosatanicos Diabolicos
    Wacky Mexican sex comedy, somehow involving drugs and Satan
  • Satanik (Turkey)
    Satanik (Turkey)
    STOLEN SKINMAG PHOTO?
  • Abby (Mexico)
    Abby (Mexico)
    Blaxploitation meets demonic possession, directed by William Girdler. So why is there a shot from a Jean Rollin film on here?
  • House of 1000 Dolls (Turkey)
    House of 1000 Dolls (Turkey)
    Is there really a Grindhouse God?
  • Detournement de mineur
    Detournement de mineur
  • Kedi Karateci (Turkey)
    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.
  • Dog Lay Afternoon (Turkey)
    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.
