12 Completely insane Polish posters for American movies
Holy crap. I think Poland needs a therapist, Stat!

E.T. – E.T. looks totally high in this poster. “My finger lights up! Heh, heh, heh! I could totally nosh on some Reese’s Pieces right now, dude.”

Weekend at Bernie’s – This is a poster for the Human Centipede version of Weekend at Bernie’s. WTF, Poland?!

Alien – I don’t know what movie the Polish watched, but DAMN.

Raiders of the Lost Ark – Dude, that one part in Raiders where the tentacle crawled through the human skull with saber-tooth fangs totally terrified me when I was a kid. Remember that? No? Was that just me?

Enter the Dragon – Are we sure this isn’t a sequel to The Crow? Or a documentary about The Cure?

The Neverending Story – It looks like a 5 year old with crippling ADHD drew this poster. Is that supposed to be Falcor? And Bastian? The Hell?!

Christine – You remember that movie based on a Stephen King book? The one with the killer car with the mouth? That ate people? That was a thing, right?

Willow – Is that old guy whispering to a tree? Or is he about to give the tree a wet willie? Or a wet willow, as the case may be. Hahaha, I joke because I have no idea what this poster is supposed to be.

Airplane and Airplane 2: The Sequel – Wow, okay. Is the plane in the Airplane 2 poster trying to lick it’s own ass?

Gremlins – Again, this looks like something a toddler would do in the preschool nursery. Why is the guy dressed as Santa? Did Santa make an appearance in the film? And were the Gremlins Jack-in-the-Boxes?

War Games – I’m not going to lie, I somewhat like this. It would make a good Criterion cover.

There is a nice Polish poster for Jaws that I featured on my blog a few years ago: http://meandyouandablognamedboo.blogspot.com/2010/06/jaws-week-jaws-movie-posters.html

Yeah, those Jaws posters are pretty awesome. I love the dorsal fin only posters. And how funny that Jaws 2 had so many posters featuring TWO sharks. Amazing.
A few years ago I did an article featuring movie posters with sharks. https://blog.paxholley.net/2012/08/13/10-completely-awesome-movie-posters-featuring-sharks/
I should have included some of those Jaws ones. Especially the dorsal fin one.

What in the world is going on in Poland!? What the heck? And who approved these? The Neverending Story one scares me the most.
