Bad Movie Posters

Post by Buscemi »

This is a new series in which I post the worst in movie posters and say things about them. Everyone is invited to provide input.

Here is the first edition, the poster that inspired me to do this. The poster to the forthcoming film Knucklehead.

Image

Seriously, what the hell is going on in this poster? Why is there a seven-foot guy in a diaper in a tiny ring? What is with everyone else in the picture? Was Dennis Farina this desperate for money? All that I know from looking at this poster is that the film rips off Nacho Libre and it looks like one of the crappy Hulk Hogan movies from the 1990's. I can't believe WWE approved this horrible thing.

Bad Movie Posters #2

The Whole Ten Yards

Image

Okay, so what is this movie about? And why does Bruce Willis look twenty years older than his actually age? And why does Matthew Perry's body not match his head? And how many other questions do I have to ask about the badness of this poster?

Bad Movie Posters #3

Bangkok Dangerous

Image

The original version of this poster had Nicolas Cage holding a gun. After Cage objected, this Photoshop disaster came about. So why is he holding thin air? Or are we supposed to search for invisible guns, Pooky?

That Bangkok Dangerous poster is awful... I never noticed the gun thing, but it does look like he's shooting through glass with an invisible gun. Maybe that was the original plot?

Bad Movie Posters #5

Catch Me If You Can

Image

If one saw this poster, they would probably think he was already caught in the beginning and there was no movie. The original poster isn't great either but at least it tells you there is a movie to be seen. Bad job, DreamWorks.

Bad Movie Posters #6

Sex Drive

Image

No wonder why this movie bombed. Summit had to unleash this horrifying creature onto its poster. When people look at a poster for a movie, they don't want to see a six-foot humanoid being with a face for an eye holding someone at gunpoint. Especially when the film being promoted is a comedy about having sex. Mindfuck, anyone?

The King

Image

What is with the cartoony crown? And why is it so much bigger than his head? And why does it only go on halfway? And not only does the poster not tell you anything about the film, it completely misses the point in what it's trying to tell you.
