Wow, I'm not sure what the heck is going on in this poster, I sure don't recall any of this in the original Planet of the Apes Movies, but man this is pretty crazy cool! Not sure about the wings on the V-Necked Space Dude's ankles but whatever. This looks like a perfect image for an Encounter Critical Game! Lets see... Flying Saucers! Apemen! RayGuns! Ruins! Hmmm Ruins and Rayguns! That has a cool ring to it!!!
Have a Great Simian Saturday!
It's definitely an Italian poster for "Battle of the Planet of the Apes" (the last film in the original series). There's often a lot of divergence from what's in a film and some of the foreign posters, whose artists generally get a line of description like "Mutants fighting talking apes. Go!" But yeah, flying saucers and ray guns looks more like something out of the old Marvel PotA magazines!
ReplyDeleteHey Joseph! Thanks for the comment AND the AWESOME Bestiary!! Yeah those old Marvel PotA magazines got pretty wild at times!
DeleteThat's a spiffy sci-fi cheese version of an english language poster. It's always amusing to see how movie titles change in foreign markets, someone thought "Year 2670- The Final Act" would sell.
