It's been a while since we checked in on the hand-painted movie poster industry in Ghana. That's one country that skips using Hollywood posters in order to customize advertising for the enticement of the local culture. In reality, they often add violence where there is none in the film, such as the non-existing scene in Mrs. Doubtfire of Robin Williams impaling his ex-wife's boyfriend through the eye with a broom. At least that's who we think the victim is. The quality of the artwork takes a backseat to the concept of a thrilling film, accurate or not. If the artist can't find enough violence in a particular movie, they may borrow from another. So why not put facehuggers into the poster for E.T.: The Extraterrestrial?
Oh yeah, and Michael Jackson just for funsies. But The Godfather already has plenty of violence, so why not add a cat to make the poster more interesting? A Twitter thread from All The Right Movies showcases 25 of their favorite Ghanian posters for Hollywood movies collected from an art exhibit. -via Cracked
