Movie Poster of the Day

The awkwardness and inappropriateness of this poster is mesmerizing. The subject is bad enough, but it also looks badly Photoshoped, before there was Photoshop. The sonic lines emanating from Maureen O'Hara's rear, the bizarrely ironic caption "He's a tender loving guy!"... the movie could never live up to the badness of its poster.

It's supposed to be loosely based on The Taming of the Shrew, which explains a lot about the poster. It's from the same director that gave us Mitchell.

I figured out it was based on "Taming of the Shrew," but I didn't catch that it was the director of "Mitchell." What a stinker in an otherwise mediocre career!

In case you wonder: No, it is not an XXX parody   



"Sexy young starlets perform in on-line videos for a Lingerie Designer's contest. Several do scarf juggling in panties, while another team does a gangster-themed video with pastel-colored squirt guns. A feisty girl – ASHLEY performs a black magic ceremony with her friends on camera, but, at that very moment, a gun fight breaks out downtown during a botched jewel transaction. The spirits of these newly-dead Gangsters float into the sky, then they're sucked back to earth – right into the girls' panties. The girls soon discover they are infested with something a lot more itchy than fleas! The gangster spirits hop from pantie to pantie... and burrow through the fire-wire to infect other video models who are uploading their videos. In the meantime, GUIDO – the only gangster that escaped with a flesh wound, gets wind of the strange supernatural occurrence. His smuggler-friend Akbar had hidden the mother of all jewels – the Queen Shockra Jewel. Guido sets out to interrogate the gangster"


Yeah, I think I'm going to start to write for low-budget movies studios. It will not be art, but will pay bills.

^ I can't see it.  

I love goofy'70's movies like this. Blame stupid shows like Ancient Aliens on stuff like this!

[JuanSnz]

^ Ups, sorry.
