'Grindhouse' Classy Movies

The premise is simple; Take a serious, classy movie and turn it into a sordid sex and violence filled exploitation movie, like so...

Resources:

Examples of exploitation movie posters here, here, and here.

Find fonts here

Find photoshop brushes here

It'd be cool if you could make one from scratch rather than just swapping heads onto an already existing poster but it would also be cool if I got to walk on the moon so whatever...

I'm not happy at all with the fonts in this one, but I did my best.

I was hoping to see Shinder's Fist as the title for this exploitation romp, but this will do just as good I suppose.

STOP LITTERING: Sep 11, 2005

I lack the skills required (far too green to do something for this thread) but I am simply going to request "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?". Those who have seen the film know how it must be done.

It should also include the line:

"It ain't Leonardo that's for sure!"

You said dis place was fun, but it ain't!

Spacemountain, this is a great thread, a great starter, and you gave us great resources to work with. Here's my meager contribution:

Although by some standards the movie's already exploitative, isn't it?

Smam: Jul 31, 2003

Here's my attempt.

Some of these are already amazing, including the OP.
It's much harder than it looks to create a crappy exploitive poster!

But seriously, I don't get the premise, but it sure does make for great B-movie posters.

King Vidiot: Feb 17, 2007; You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!

Okay, I think I went a little overboard with the brushes, but you get the idea.

EDIT: For even more brush fuckwithery, and to make the spelling a little more BEARable.

Some good efforts, thanks for picking it up and running with it

Shawshank was going to be my second but it's been done now. I have an idea for another, hopefully it won't be used before I get a chance to do it.

There's currently a thread in Helldump bemoaning the quality of recent Photoshop threads, but this is certainly proving it wrong. These are uniformly excellent.

Jesus. This is beyond my skills. Are there any tutorials as to how to utilize this awesomeness?

I've got a great idea, I just can't fathom how to use photoshop to do this.

Mach Won: Jun 17, 2004; Is UNC playing? My post is either whining about (1) ref favoritism, (2) unfair recruiting/player caliber, (3) opposing team sucking or (4) the inevitable UNC win. The day you see me giving UNC credit for anything is the day someone hacked my account.
