Japanese Army of Darkness Movie Poster

Translating Hollywood, the new book by Sam Sarowitz of Posteritati, takes a look at movie posters from around the world (and how different they are from the US versions). Take a look at this gem of an example: the Japanese Army of Darkness movie poster (why the soup cans? Because the actor’s name is Bruce Campbell, get it?)

Posterwire has the big version of the poster: Link

    The soup cans may also be there because the Japanese title for the movie was actually “Captain Supermarket.” (I like that title a lot.)
