Ryder, P.I. (1986)

Just saw one of these, framed, by the garbage up the street from me. Was overjoyed until I discovered it was badly water-damaged. :(

Jerry Reed: Texas Bound And Flyin'

(The title track was the theme to the second Bandit movie.)

I feel like "things drawn by Jack Davis" (although obviously he is the king of this style) is sorta a different thread

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 17:55 (five years ago) link

i think this one counts though - title track from the movie, and i believe the drawing is meant to play up associations with the film, which does involve the transportation of an elephant in a truck. almost feels like it might have begun as rejected art for the film's poster, and they just whited out burt reynolds, sally field, jackie gleason, and iconic representations of other episodes in the film.

i think Beer (the movie with a head on it) really missed an opportunity to be worthy of this thread

andrew m., Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:16 (five years ago) link

I feel like there should be one of these that's just called "Titties"

pp, it started with beer, which i figured HAD to have one. struck out. but it features kenneth mars, who i figured HAD to have been involved in a few of these. then i followed a few "people also liked" threads and the rest is history.

andrew m., Thursday, 29 November 2018 14:56 (five years ago) link

andrew m., Thursday, 29 November 2018 14:57 (five years ago) link

Enjoying the Rube Goldbergesque connectedness of all the moving parts in the apple DUMPLINGS! poster, would love to find others in that subcategory

Opening this thread and seeing Goldblum on the "Thank God It's Friday" poster makes me want to use that as my social media avatar.

the way the mine car appears to be exploding out of an oil derrick that is bursting out of Don Knotts' chest, so good

Kind of offended that red****s isn't auto-replacing with hatcat anymore.

andrew m., Friday, 15 February 2019 15:22 (five years ago) link

at some point i looked it up... i want to say kate jackson is an aspiring singing star and there's probably like one scene where they're in a bathtub together. the rest i have no idea.

Don't forget they were all painted by George Washington.
