post movie posters done in a busy/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s

Wrong Guys is an impressively late entry, and also makes me wish Hard Ticket To Hawaii had one of these.


(the Kinky Coaches have been here before, linking to the exact same file, to give credit to Grisso)

One last (early) Galton/Simpson joint, with a different approach to busy and caricature, just because it's charming:

The Wrong Arm Of The Law, 1963

Gus (1976)

there are more disney ones in this style... especially claustrophobic:

Irish Whiskey Rebellion, 1972

Sorry, horse in a grey flannel suit, I will only join in on a 60% fun-in

Style is naggingly familiar. Looks a bit like Fastner & Larson, with Ron Embleton's colour approach?

A couple of alternate posters here, at least one apparently by Gray Morrow:

The Night They Robbed Big Bertha's, 1975

Cinderella 2000 wasn't the only sexy Cinderella released in 1977

Cinderella (1977)

which, to avoid and/or create further confusion, was re-released as

The Other Cinderella (1977)

Cinderella of Sexness

At the ball, the Prince indulges in a blindfolded orgy with every willing woman in his kingdom, but finds himself bored by them all until he encounters Cinderella's magical vagina. He falls instantly in love with her, but before he can learn her true identity, the clock strikes midnight, and the Fairy Godmother rushes Cinderella away with the full court in pursuit ("Oh, A Snapper!").

The following day, the Prince must have sex with every woman in the land in order to identify his beloved. By the time he reaches Cinderella's house, he is so exhausted that he must be brought in on a stretcher, and Cinderella must approach him cowgirl style. Recognizing "the snapper," the Prince declares Cinderella to be the girl he loves, and the two depart for the palace.

um spoilers much?!???!!

my partner collects tapes and we're always on the lookout for these but mostly it's the same crap from the format's peak years in the late 90s. best chance sadly is really long-established video stores that never updated their stock doing going out of business sales. ive posted abt this before but I once got really wistful at one of these finding an ollld, pre-clamshell disney tape, think it was a herbie movie. yellowed cream background, always-yellow 70s font, still frame of the movie. what my childhood looked like.

a herbie movie, 1968

This re-release poster for The Love Bug was less busy and made the claustrophobia more confusing

Betting that the punctuation was a late note to the designer here.

Herbie Rides Again, 1974

This seems to have had a whole series of non-caricature but delightful cartoony posters

What a cast

Unfortunately, they are in a terrible movie

A movie that would be bad even if Peter Sellers wasn't in yellowface.

DID YOU KNOW

(because I didn't)

that the first two Herbies are from the same writer / director pairing as

The Absent-Minded Professor, 1961

AND THAT Herbie Rides Again is a sequel to both that, and to The Love Bug, and to

Son Of Flubber, 1963.


Which was Disney's first sequel ever, and apparently also inaugurated a previously unheralded FLUBBER CINEMATIC UNIVERSE?

(same regular writer & director there too)

What the heck, have two more examples from the similarly expansive Son Of Flubber Poster Universe

The pit crew was changed for the next herbie movie, but the policy of making multiple posters for the same flick wasn't.

Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, 1977

and another version of the first, in paste-up - the flag dude falling over the railing looks to be a different version here, even if the other painted elements are just rearranged?

two years ago: post movie posters done in a busy/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s

(in response to an even better one above.)

Seventeen years between Herbie Goes Bananas (1980) and the Peyton Reed / Bruce Campbell remakequel of The Love Bug. Eight years between that one and Herbie: Hot, Ready & Legal. Next year will be another seventeen years, and filming through a car windscreen is covid-safe: Disney, please bring people back to cinemas in 2022 with your most venerable cinematic franchise.

OMG

into it

yeah that's great.

Munster, Go Home (1966) ... for future searches.

I am all for a thread on the shitty, pointless movie versions of classic British sitcoms tbh.

One that didn't go far: British Sitcoms-turned-Films...

when I was a kid and we had only a few tv channels one of them seemed to show Munster, Go Home and the previously mentioned Thing With Two Heads on Saturday afternoons with disturbing regularity.

Blazing Stewardesses, 1975

boob spotted on blazing stewardesses, boob on blazing stewardesses

this one can actually be seen, though!

and since I found that by looking for this, here's a clearer version of a Gray Morrow Cinderella 2000 poster

It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet, 1976

TCM Alert - Munster, Go Home is on tonight at midnight!

never knew the Herriot books had been adapted to feature films just three years before the megahit TV series!

first movie lets the side down

The Great Train Robbery, 1969

The Great BANK Robbery, 1969

Looking at the imdb trivia for Munster, Go Home, and learned that it's box office failure caused Paramount to cancel a planned Get Smart feature film, the script of which was retooled into a three-part episode.

There was a lot of good trivia related to that, thanks for the tip.

^^Alotta Rob Zombie trivia as a bonus.
