tpigeon 3 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hey, it hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet, so I thought it might be valuable to the conversation, unless of course Hitch mentioned this poster as a bit of sarcasm. Many one-sheet posters are influenced by art and mythology; it's an important consideration of this conversation. Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,442 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Well, isn't imitation the best form of flattery? Or is the movie promoting industry out of ideas?And yet, making a movie poster look like a similar movie is probably a deliberate marketing ploy to capture attention. If you just glance through and think it's the poster of the more well known movie, like Raiders or Star Wars, you're more likely to give the "copy" a second glance. You might turn away in disgust and go about your day, but you might also get a kick out of the similarities. Add a pretty face or recognizable name, and you're interested and buy a ticket or the video, and they've made their buck.For one, that High Road out of China doesn't look too bad. Just because I "know" from that rip-off poster that is in the Raiders vein, and I liked Selleck's Quigley Down Under, so I might go rent it. Bang! There's a sucker born every minute.

The entire thing was a Jaws parody. I loved how Mr. Krabs actually heard the music playing and started looking for it, he opens up a door and you see an old recording of a conductor conducting an orchestra, then he says "There it is! Don't you know that music means danger?" Genius writers back then, now the show really lacks in originality and adult themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 859 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 No love for Pino Donaggio?There are a couple of other Jaws inspired posters out there but the names ecscape me at the moment. I believe the knock off film Great White had several posters, one had the shark underwater but I've only seen it once. The main one had the shark coming up under a raft in a chilling pose.

fommes 126 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 To be frank, I too have never found why Donaggio is so respected. I don't know if you've seen DePalma's Blow Out?

And Dressed to Kill is quite brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
