WTF??? - Poster Perversion

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.

King Kong: The Giant Ape (India)
Awful Indian poster for what is most likely a retitled print of Dino De Laurentiis' 'King Kong' from 1976, redubbed and re-released to cash in on the success of Peter Jackson's 'King Kong'.

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

Tijuana Caliente (Mexico)

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #1

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'.

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

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #2

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”.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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

Tatar Ramazan (Turkey)
Eye-catching art for what looks like a badass Turkish revenge flick but probably isn't.

The Super Riders – Lebanese lobby card #2
Lobby card from Lebanon for Japanese fantasy flick

Los Vampiros de Coyoacan

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.

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

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?

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.

Bionic Boy – Turkish lobby card #3
This Filipino kidsploitation looks like a hootin' good time!

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.

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.
