How can I tell if a poster has actually been released or not? I see the poster I like on eBay, but I can't find anything online that would indicate that Mondo actually sold this particular poster.

Mondo shows all their posters in the archive section of their site, so you can cross-reference there. Sellers on Ebay though are pretty good about posting whether the poster is a Mondo or not, as the name itself means they can command a higher price.

The link Mister Chief posted earlier, http://www.expressobeans.com/, is also a really good resource for poster info. You can find release dates, sales, graphs with price highs/lows/averages.

I'm genuinely tempted to donate loving plasma for that Dredd poster.

e: should probably clarify, I technically have the money for it already but I'd kinda like to be able to do other things aside from sit there and stare at my balla rear end poster. :v:

That's perfect! There's a Mondo poster that I really want, but I've only seen one on eBay. :(

It's a brilliant idea quite frankly. Instead of throwing every single actor onto the poster and making it terrible, you just combine them!

Maybe the piano's about to fall on Ray Liotta, who's behind Tobey Maguire wearing a Spiderman costume. The two of them tried switching outfits for the day and Hobgoblin got confused and dropped it on the wrong guy.

Last night, I threw on Darkman for some reason. It's definitely a mediocre film, but it does have a nice visual flair from time to time.

The original film's poster is nice, even if it's riding the orange-and-blue a bit too hard.

And the teaser poster made decent use of what they'd eventually be using.
But compared to this concept poster?

I dunno, something about the coloring and layout gives me kind of an Egyptian feel, which (I guess) ties in with his metaphorical death in the movie.
The Japanese posters...


...could be argued to be playing up the silent movie and Universal creature feature roots (e.g., Phantom of the Opera). Unfortunately, they also look kind of lazy.
But then there's the sequels.

Why they glossed over Arnold Vosloo being in this, I can't say.

So generic it's almost classic. And hey! The guy from The Lawnmower Man is in it, so it must be great! :downs:

Does it really count as "riding the orange-and-blue" if it was made two decades before that really became A Thing?

There are many words one can use to properly describe Darkman, but 'mediocre' is certainly not one of them.

Some lovely doctors decided to remove his ability to feel pain, which made his muscles get really swole to compensate or something? There was a dumb explanation at least.

Man, I love that movie.

He did some gay porn during the 90s but he is primarily a 'mainstream' actor.

They removed his amygdala along with that, so he can't feel pain and he also can't control his rage. So yes, he's kind of like the Hulk.

Um, this seems like a pretty blantant rip off, poster-wise, how was there not a lawsuit?

I think the problem with Darkman is how they end it with him deciding to be a superhero and leave out the part where he dies from an infection a week later. Even though he was putting on fake skin he spent way too long without it.

Yes, and how did Harvey Dent become a villain instead of just writing around in bed in agony due to refusing pain medications before also dying of an infection? Why are films not real life?
