Godawful posters for godawful movies: the art of the Cannon Group

Two Words: Mathilda May.

Agreed.

My personal favourite Canon film is Death Wish 3. They bought the name of a well done film and just turned it into pure exploitation. The plot is so simple and over the top, I highly suspect it was written by somebody's ultra-right wing grandpa. I'm surprised Bronson doesn't shoot at least one hippie.

The gang in the film looks like came out of an Italian "Escape from New York" clone and they might as well be ducks with targets painted on them. I love this movie.

Ohh - that's a really great one too. Both Death Wish 3 and Invasion USA are so incredibly paranoid and demented, but also feel a bit like they were made by aliens who never visited Earth, but were forced to watch 20 years of action movies and make one as as some kind of test.

This is still one of the most insane scenes I've ever seen in a movie. As in, there's no question in my mind that at least 4 of the key people responsible for making this scene were actually insane.
