NO

He's apparently walking down the barrel of the gun, because he's the size of a thimble. It just looks like he got sick of having that thing pointed at the beginning of every movie so he's decided to take matters into his own hands and take out that bullet once and for all.

I think it's supposed to be a sewer or something styled after the bond openings. Notice the water at the bottom?

Based on everything else I've seen of this film that's probably a shot of Dredd stood in front of the Mega-City One skyline.

That would be comic accurate. And it is a really good Judge Dredd poster. Imposing, dark, brutal.

FYI, that's a fan poster.

Here's Comic-Con posters for "The Hobbit" and "Pacific Rim":

So are the little guys supposed to be on the robot's shoulder?

*Edit* because it looks like a fuckup to me.

Not sure what you mean by "fuckup", but this is a "giant robots vs. giant monsters" movie and those are full-size adult humans. That should give you an idea as to the scale of this movie.

I didn't know it was a giant robot film. I guess I'll look up a film before stupidposting next time.

Baggot posted:

I can't find him either, and that just plays further into my strong suspicion that Li's character is going to bite it early in the movie. I recall the only clip of him in the earliest trailers was from the first movie. I assume the new young Asian chick is related to his character's absence.

Although maybe they'll pull a Lundgren for this one too and he'll show up alive and well after the climax.

I think he's the guy at the very bottom with the two pistols.

Is he like the Hulk or something? I thought he just got all burnt up.

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.

I love it, because now "Last" means "Previous" instead of "Final."

From looking online, the VHS cover is pretty much the same thing. Here's the theatrical poster for the '88 version, which really resembles "The Human Centipede" poster.

For reference:

I'm pretty sure there are quite a few other posters just like this. Like, exactly like this.

I-Mockery did a feature on foreign movie posters recently. A lot of great ones along with some awful ones.

This is my personal favourite.

Dick Trauma posted:

Someone mentioned "Nothing But Trouble" earlier and while the original poster is a good match for the movie (lovely) I found there is a Boris style alternative one that I've never seen.

Reading the wikipedia synopsis and realizing that it isn't a post-apocalyptic comedy and is instead some sort of proto-Saw trap-horror comedy thing was a bizarre experience. What a bizarre sounding film.

Some actually good Mondo posters

*Edit* VVV THe original is better, I'll grant that but I think these are actually pretty decent. Not great, but I like them.
At the very least they don't do the usually alt. poster bullshit.

Just a forewarning: Do NOT watch Dante's Inferno. It is absolute poo poo. Each level of hell changes the animation style, and they are all hideously ugly, the writing is absolute garbage, and just everything about it is bad.
I watched it while I had a fever and still knew that it was poo poo. Don't waste your time on it.

It does feature a horse doing a backflip though

It was an EA initiative for a while, to make crappy animes of all their games. They did Dragon Age as well.

Also Mass Effect. I guess anime studios don't charge very much.

For half a heartbeat my brain parsed the title as "Don't Look in the Arrse!". A cautionary tale of pirate butts.

The first 3 Scary Movies are legitimately hilarious. The third definitely isn't as good as 1 or 2 but it had this Ring parody that gets me every time.

Why not have the best of both worlds and instead of featuring aliens and ghosts, have the antagonists be ALIEN GHOSTS.

Not only are they not of this earth, but they're dead, and regular weapons cannot harm them. President Foxx has to help Agent Tatum to track down a series of special guns that were created by several founding fathers who were occultists, and hidden away in various locales throughout Washington DC with the help of benevolent British poltergeists.

Will it also have piss-poor CGI characters that nearly kill a massive video game developer?

Snowpiercer has a bunch of character 'passports'

The description makes it sound like it's based on La Compagnie des glaces/The Ice Company/Transarctica so I will definitely be watching this.

Le Transperceneige which Snow Piercer is an adaptation of, was first published in 1982.

Yes, this is definitely a movie I want to see.

Unlike the other "minimalist" posters, that one actually depicts a part of the movie that is easily recognisable without being an in-joke for fans.
