xxp oops should have posted the title... Cold Turkey

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.

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.

I feel most movie posters would do well to include "NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH KING KONG" at the bottom.

None of those have caricatures, but I couldn't get that post out of my head.

The Wicked Lady (1983)

Neil S, Thursday, 23 February 2017 16:20 (nine years ago)

IIRC that Cannon Group doc makes it seem neither wild nor wicked (all these posters have a serious protest-too-much quality in the captions), and additionally pretty creepy and uncomfortable, unless I'm thinking of a different Golan/Globus schlock highwaywoman picture.

tales of a scorched-earth nothing (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 23 February 2017 17:04 (nine years ago)

ugh when i was like 12 we got a new vcr. as a celebration of this my dad rented this movie (which very rarely happened otherwise) and insisted the family watch it together. cue very awkward silences at various sex scenes.
