Wait, Wacko is about a "lawnmower killer"?

pplains, Thursday, 12 January 2017 20:41 (nine years ago)

I like how Wacko has to have it's name on the poster twice right on top of each other.

"I must believe that my charm was not in my ass." (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 12 January 2017 22:14 (nine years ago)

i like these comedies where the poster premise is literally "it's a comedy!"

difficult listening hour, Thursday, 12 January 2017 22:51 (nine years ago)

Wacko and Pandemonium both great finds, bravo.

Super Fuzz brought this to mind:

Probably some other Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movies had this style too.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 08:24 (nine years ago)

I loved Super Fuzz to death as a kid, though the VHS we had of it was called Super Snooper. I can recall the theme tune in absolute clarity.

new noise, Monday, 6 February 2017 04:17 (nine years ago)

Cold Turkey is interesting...it's popped up a few times in this thread, but each time it's a different poster.

Ha, just seems like the kind of thing scifi fans wd be dimly aware of...

tales of a scorched-earth nothing (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 7 February 2017 00:31 (nine years ago)

On Buzzr last week, they ran the series of Match Game 75s Alex Karras was a panelist on. Inspired, I jumped onto imdb to research posters, since Alex Karras was kind of born to be on the kind of posters in this thread. The problem is, I couldn't really find any! There was this thing, which tries for the effect (which it seems this film is just screaming for) but cheaps out with photos and falls short.

Gas, 1981 (wikipedia notes that it is "not to be confused with a similar-sounding 1970 film Gas-s-s-s", which doesn't seem to have had one of these posters, sadly)

soref, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 04:04 (nine years ago)

Hahaha I remember specifically searching for Gas-s-s-s once on the hunch that it'd have one of these.

"Recruits" may be unique in offering both a 70s jam-packed and an 80s bold-outline-with-airbrush variation.
