Also those Drucker & Davis posters are great.
When I was developing my drawing style back in my teens, they were two artists I shamelessly ripped off was inspired by. Kind of funny that Drucker would draw the poster for a George Lucas movie, then a few years later do the MAD parodies of some other George Lucas movies. Hey, maybe he'll draw 'Red Fails'!

BTW, in that comic book-style Red Tails poster, the pilot looks like he's shooting bullets out of his eyes and smashing his own windscreen.

My God, Drucker's still alive and drawing? I thought he was long gone.
Still alive, and while I don't know if he's doing regular work for MAD, he's still drawing as far as I can tell.

Was looking to see if The Hunt for Red October had 5.1 sound, I have the old DVD:



Here's the new cover:



Blugh, it looks like a direct-to-DVD movie now
What. The. gently caress?

An instantly recognisable, arguably iconic poster, and they replace it with that?

Nothing much to say except, holy poo poo is that a bad poster.
Is there a 'flying sparks' plugin for Photoshop or something? Because it keeps popping up - didn't the Red Tails poster use it as well?

Jesus, I had no idea Martin Campbell had been directing for so long (1975). And it wasn't even his first film!

Still, going from lovely 1970s British sex comedies to Bond is pretty good career advancement.

Early Bonds were basically sex comedies anyway.
Nah, they didn't star Robin Askwith or Christopher Biggins.

I'm pretty sure that there was never a single helicopter in the entire movie.
I'll have to dig out that DVD cover for Largo Winch: Deadly Revenge I posted in the old thread, which featured a helicopter gunship, an F-16 and an exploding skyscraper. Guess how many of those things appeared in the movie. Duh

I stole this from the Drive thread. I know it's fan made, but dear god...it deserves a special place here.

So this film includes Odo, Lex Luthor and Rondo Hatton?

You're not kidding, I thought "Mort Drucker" the second I saw it. Okay so it was one of their other dudes but STILL.
I knew it was a Jack Davis picture even at thumbnail size just from the way he draws feet.

Has anyone ever put the whole of the Galt speech into screenplay format, to see how it works out with the "one page of script = one minute of screentime" rule? I think in the novel it's something like 40,000 words long, which when you consider that a typical novel is 90-100k words is just ridiculous bloviation.

What, no Judge Cal? Just think of the fun you could have with an insane absolute dictator, an 18 certificate and a black sense of humour. And you'd have the world's biggest :smith: from Aaron A Aardvark when Cal sentences the entire city to death, in alphabetical order.

EDIT: just realised that the UK poster for Dredd has him in a more or less identical pose to the iconic splash page from 'America', where he's standing with his boot on the bloodied body of a person draped in the stars and stripes and the caption "Justice has a price. The price is freedom."

Civilisation has collapsed, zombies are everywhere... and Ada's still wearing a cocktail dress and high heels.

So it's being true to the games, then. :v:

It may be too soon, but I fully expect Zombie Osama to be a thing in a few decades when someone makes a throwback to late-00s-early-10s cinema.
It's a thing now - that's a real movie, not a Photoshop. I saw it in the supermarket a few weeks ago and went all :stare: for a moment.

I just can't wrap my mind around how those arms and hands work. Also Andy Milonakis is still alive, who knew?
Any one of those people could be top-billed Jason Mewes, even the baby. It's impossible to tell.

Like Rob Bottin, a lot of the good ones burn out fast under the insane demands of Hollywood films. We still have Alec Gillis, but he seems more interested in acting these days.
I read somewhere that Rob Bottin quit the business and went into real estate, which is both a tragedy and a travesty. The Thing prequel was desperately short of the sheer grotesque madness of the Carpenter film's effects.
