Speaking of films that look better in the poster, here’s the Japanese art for Giant Spider Invasion. (!) I wonder if this is a cinema poster or a home video cover? I think it’s funny that it reached Japan in either way, but could it possibly have played in theaters?

    I would pay good money to see the film that accurately reflects that poster.

    Now that poster is writing some serious checks the movie cannot cash…

    Barbara Hale. Hubba, hubba.

  • That is a $5000 promise for a $5 movie.

    I wonder how the audiences who were pulled in by that poster reacted upon seeing the movie. I imagine them spontaneously re-enacting the depicted scene of mass devastation in their outrage.

    As hard as it is to believe but the poster must have been the the artist’s rendition of the famous “Packers won the Super Bowl!” scene.

    I like the implication of Hal Needham style car stunts in addition to everything else. Remove the spider and you’ve got a great generic image for a disaster movie.

    “Pork vacuum- I mean sheriff speaking…”
    “Well, gotta go drain the little buddy.”
    “How was yer day at the whore?“

    Yeah, and you could substitute the spider for any Kaiju as well Godzilla?, Gamera?, King Kong? Just stick ’em in there, and away we go!

    Isn’t this coming back to theaters in August as a Rifftrax Live?

    Alan Hale. Bubba, bubba.

    Yes, already have our tickets.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Nah, celebrating Packers fans would be causing much more damage than this.

    The destruction of Milwaukee was not my fault. It was another Kaiju. No one saw me, no has any evidence, no one can prove anything…
