"Curvaceous Crusaders Battle to Rebuild a Shattered Land." "Skate or Die! Original "Roller Blade" Video One Sheet. An order of switch blade wielding, rollerblading "nuns," (and I use the name nuns extremely loosely,) and other female rebels fight against a fascist state ruled by a hand puppet. Yep. You read that right, a hand puppet. I tried to watch this again for this review, but I just couldn't do it. It's horrible. Lots of gratuitous nudity though. Check your brain at the door and watch the whole movie on YouTube. From 1986.

"THEY BREED. THEY HATCH. THEY KILL. Maybe it's just a phase they're going through." "There's a bad bug goin' around." Blue Monkey Original Video One Sheet. No monkeys, blue or otherwise. No idea where the name comes from. The monster is more like a giant fly that terrorizes a hospital. Also known as "Insect," which makes more sense. In one pivotal scene, the insect is flying around trying to get the main characters, but is obviously just being swung around on a cable. Unbelievable. Only available on VHS and BETA, which may be a good thing. Trailer here. From 1987.

William stands accused and is sentenced to death but escapes during a raid by Spanish soldiers. Consuelo soon turns into a ruthless, hardened pirate, as she raids ships of the Spanish main, vowing revenge against the man she once loved. Will she learn who the true traitor is? There's plenty of swordplay, romance, dirty deals, and treasure too! From 1962.

"Ms. Stiletto" aka "Isabella Duchess Of The Devils," from the "Wicked Women" Force Video calendar, 1985. A Baron massacres the family of a French Duke, and takes his lands and title. Isabella, (the Duke's infant child) escapes the massacre, is raised by gypsies, and comes back twenty years later to exact revenge. Trailer here. 1969. I'd like to see this movie some time.

"Nefertite - Queen of the Nile" from the "Wicked Women" Force Video calendar, 1985. Jeanne Crain plays the title character in this sweeping romance-drama set in ancient Egypt. Also starring Vincent Price and Edmund Purdom. Trailer here.
"Wicked Women" Video Calendar, 1985. This is the main page of a calendar from Force Video. It was sent as a promotional item to video rental stores and had perforations so you could tear out the posters. I will be posting the other images from it at a later date. (There are six more.) All titles are available in your choice of VHS or BETA. ;)

"Critters 3" Original Video Poster. "You are what they eat!" As much as I like the more or less continuing saga that is "Critters," this movie is just awful. The Critters hitch a ride on a camper and end up in a poor neighborhood tenement apartment building. Why is the third sequel always the worst? *AHEM* "Spiderman 3 - The Musical." Anyway, this is Leonardo DiCaprio's film debut, and I can't decide if that's good or bad. I've always wondered what an actor would say if you ran up to them and said "Leonardo DiCaprio? Hey, you were in Critters 3! Can I have your autograph?!" Ha ha. But, back to the poster: I love the art. If you look closely, you can see it's a really well-done painting. Sort of like Critters Do NY. Here's the trailer. From 1991.

Extremely rare horizontal video poster for "Showgirls." I've never been able to find a listing or even mention of this poster. I think the art is superior to the vertical original 1 sheet. The movie is so bad it's earned a cult status.
"The Descent": One of my all-time favorite movies. The first is an advance 1 sheet featuring fantastic art reminiscent of Salvador Dali's "In Voluptate Mors." (Google it. Now.) Also, the british double sided video poster. The movie earned the nickname "Six Chicks With Picks." Here's the trailer.
