FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES

[Silverlady]

When I glanced at your posters, I thought the one said ELVIS of the night! I better get my eyes checked!


I just love it!

No, it really IS Elvis Of The Night.. see, the hands grabbing her are saying "Thank ya.. thank ya verra much."

When this was new, a friend and I could not stop emphasizing one word: B E L I E V E !!!

I know it seems awful but Patrick Swayze as a ghost isn't too farfetched.

This tag is on my vhs copy of Army of Darkness;

Trapped in time

Surronded by evil

Low on gas

The tag on my vhs of The Mechanic (with charles bronson)

He has more than a dozen ways to kill and they all work!

[Mofo Rising]

I always liked this one from The Willies (1990):

"You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll puke, you'll die!"

That's a lot for just one movie to take you through, you know?

Dawn Of The Dead:
When there's no more room in HELL.. the DEAD will walk the Earth

[AndyC]

The Prey: "It's not human, and it's got an axe!"

That has to be my favourite tagline. Not very creative, but it gets right to business.

The Prey: "It's not human, and it's got an axe!"

That has to be my favourite tagline. Not very creative, but it gets right to business.

From what I remember, I don't think he used the axe much at all after the opening.  A terrible low-budget movie with lots of nature footage (!) and a truly goofy performance by the park ranger.  A lot of people were suckered in by that admittedly cool tagline.

Really dumb tagline..

Killer to the left!  Killer to the right!  Stand up!  Sit down!  Fright!  Fright!  Fright!
--Return To Horror High

And if I recall correctly, the killer WAS human, just badly burned, so that tagline is completely false. Still admire its simplicity though.

Dominator - "Anyone who says Rock is dead, WILL be!"

I kinda like this one, but it makes me think the film is going to be a dystopian future in which Rock music no longer exists.

It's not.

"Take the stairs, take the stairs. For God's sake, take the stairs!"

Laff, RC, Laff!

On that note: my favorite is from that lousy BIGFOOT movie with a Joi Landsing, Chris Mitchum, Doodles Weaver, and a very old John Carradine.

BIGFOOT
Breeds With Anything...



He doesn't breed with John Carradine, which might have been something to see.
