Did they really just take a landscape photo, rotate it to portrait and just slap the Exorcist logo at the bottom? Cos that's what it looks like.
shareAnd all for the extremely low low price of $30 Million to make
shareI would have loved painted poster art complete with Ninjas, tanks, henchmen with Uzi’s, an upside down cross and a huge explosion. Fire consuming everything with the lead father shirtless and pumped up glistening holding his child!
shareSo 80s!
shareI remember many posters featuring things that wasn’t even in the movie! Like a burning crashing plane or a horde of submarines in a movie set in the desert! Oh yeah the 80s.
shareYep, so many exploitation films had deceiving vhs covers or poster art. I love all the action films that has the hero’s muscles depicted twice as big as they actually were.
Here’s a great one, and Christopher Connelly has a rather average build. Lol

Truly an amazing example brother! I’ll be grinding about that for the entire weekend.
In this post apocalyptic world set in the barren wasteland of Europe we have poster art
Featuring 3 American Huey Helicopter.

Most excellent !!
And why does the M-60 have a magazine instead of being belt fed?
Another favorite. I will say that Reb Brown does yell like that throughout the whole movie, though. They did get one thing right.

Hilarious, truly epic !
I also love the six barrel M4. You can win the war single handily with that thing!
I remember watching those VHS as a child with slack jawed admiration, on a TV set with the speakers on the right side of the screen.
Posters are an artform. Ghana as a country has a history of getting artists to hand paint them.

Those are spectacular. Every single one has wtf things going on, but I really like the double barrel pump shotgun in Clue. LOL
Looks like Hooper and Brody didn’t make it. I wonder if Quint survived.
These posters look awesome in every way with sort of a MAD MAGAZINE Vibe going for them
shareI HAVE MANY OF THESE SAVED ON MY PC...THESE POSTERS ROCK.
shareA lot of movie poster artists would not actually be told what the movie was about besides some vague plot details, and then they'd be forced to churn something out in sometimes as little as 24 hours. So they kinda had to use their imagination and throw whatever came to mind on the poster, which resulted in a lot of misadvertisement.
shareI wish they had kept that practice going! It would benefit this films poster greatly!
shareIt really is a crappy poster that looks like it was a draft that was never finished
