WTF??? - Poster Perversion

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.

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”.

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

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

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.

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

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 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'.

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".

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

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.

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.

Detournement de mineur

Satanik (Turkey)
STOLEN SKINMAG PHOTO?

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.

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #1

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.

Los Vampiros de Coyoacan

Cocaine Wars (Egypt)
'Cocaine Wars' was a cheap straight-to-video production starring "Duke of Hazzard" John Schneider. So what is David Carradine from "P.O.W.: The Escape" doing on here?

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

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.

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?

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

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

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