The whole Penitentiary trilogy is worth watching.

The only one I've seen is the one where Luke from General Hospital is a gay crime lord who runs his empire from behind bars.

I looooove this one. loving awesome! Like I said before, I adore the art in old posters.

I surprised at how swanky some of those porno movie posters are. The artists who did that put some loving effort into something I don't think much people paid attention to.

With all the archery posters, I'm surprised (well, not really) this one wasn't included...



Edit: here, have a painted foreign version as well...

I'm pretty sure "tod sicher" is the tagline for the German poster. It means "Sure Death".

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT


The whole scenario is one of many being carried out all over the world, controlled by a group who are attempting to appease ancient gods with a sacrifice of young people. They control the kids with pheromones, genetically engineered monsters and a force field that keeps them from escaping. All the other scenarios fail early on in the movie and so this is the organizations last shot, unfortunately two of the kids survive until sunrise and the ancient gods awaken and destroy the world.

Referenced in dialogue even: "Converse All-Stars, vintage 2004". The only thing missing is a subtitle that flashes on the screen "Available Now!" just in case those in the audience didn't get the 2004 date (which also happens to be the same year the movie was released).

Those two posters looks like they' aren't even the same movie, I'd have had no idea there's a sci-fi angle to the plot if I had only seen the new poster.

I didn't even know that was an aspect of the film judging it from the trailer.

I might need to see this now. It's funny how they could completely remove itself from the Trayvon Martin tragedy by playing up the fact there's aliens in that movie.

I think I'm the only person on Earth who likes that film although I haven't seen it in a long time. The version I saw definitely featured a scene were there is a nuclear device on board a plane.

I've actually been meaning to watch this someday. The previews were interesting enough, but it's a shame that everything changed on 9/11 to keep it out of theaters.

What is on the left-side of the barrel?

I don't know. It could be either a laser aiming module or a pistol mounted to the side. Knowing this movie, it could be either one.

But, regardless, it's the same gun as Crews. He's got the same flashlight + LAM/pistol combo mounted on his gun.

Someone needs to pull another Fargo and make a completely fictional movie with "this is a true story" tagline. Even better, put poo poo that can not possibly happen in real life, like Elvis and the Village People fighting aliens with ray guns. Just go so over the top with it.

Sorry, should I spoiler that? I don't know anything major that's been leaked, that's just what I'm gathering from the trailer.

I don't think Marlon Wayans or any of the first film's cast beside Channing Tatum, Ray Park, Lee Byung-hun and Jonathan Pryce were even going to be in the second movie. So, I don't think it matters.

Also, now thinking about it, I'm a bit disappointed that Willis didn't don a receding-hairpiece, a fake beard, and scar since he's playing the first Joe.

Urgh, a buddy of mine just posted this on Facebook. I guess this is the poster that appeals to the action movie crowd over the horror buffs. Isn't the whole point of Prometheus' marketing campaign so far to be insidious and disturbing rather than Whizz! Bam! Boom!

You mean the movie that has trailers that have the Inception Horn :wom: (or Reaper Farts for those exposed to ME3). Also, I'm fairly certain the exploding ships occurs in the trailer, so it's not that much of a spoiler.

It's the last film in a trilogy that's earned millions if not billions of dollars at this point. It's already got word of mouth and people waiting for this so it's not like they need to spend a whole lot of money on marketing for it.

I don't know. I feel genuine unease looking at that poster, and I mean that in a good way. It's pretty effective in communicating that it's a horror movie.

Those moths are a significant plot point, but I don't remember any Dali stuff in it. I think it may have just been put there as an Easter Egg by the person who designed the poster.

I'm pretty sure the "women making the skull" on the moth is supposed to represent both Buffalo Bill's victims and his motive. The women make up the skull much like Buffalo Bill's skin suit, which he's is making for sexual reasons.
