[...] would have to be the Japanese Army of Darkness movie poster (which is yet another example of the King of the Mountain pose) which makes several changes to the original U.S. key art, including the addition of several Bruce [...]

While this parodies all of the above, to me, this most clearly parodied Meat Loaf’s recent “Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose.” BTW, that would make sense considering that Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo did that one, too. :-)

Did this poster get updated or am I blind? Probably, I’m blind. Although the version of this poster on http://www.impawards.com has been updated. It has a real billing block now (it had “blah, blah, blah earlier). Sometimes posters start to make the rounds on the internet before they’re truely final. maybe that’s what happened here? I kind of doubt it, but I suppose it’s possible.

There is a small title above the credits, so a legal billing block would be “triggered”, no?

There’s no title treatment on this version, so a legal billing block wouldn’t be triggered.

Thanks to Internet Movie Poster Awards for giving us an updated/better image of the movie poster. Interesting that the credit block is full of "BLAH BLAH" instead of real names in the credits. Don't know how they got away with that if that's real.

“genuinely canâ€™t tell a Corben apart from a Vallejo”

i didn’t know it was possible to sound like an art snob when talking about movie posters but there you go

This reminds me of another Adult Swim movie poster mashup, for the episode of SeaLab 2021 "TinFins" they made this Star Wars: Episode IV inspired design. TinFins Movie Poster

Bloggers who genuinely canâ€™t tell a Corben apart from a Vallejo (or spell â€œVallejoâ€) donâ€™t help, either.

Our poor spelling is well documented — thanks for the heads-up.

The comment about telling a “Corben apart from a Vallejo” — notsomuch. Mr. Vallejo emphasized in his email this artwork was more of a “Bell” than a “Vallejo”. Until we heard from both Corben and Vallejo via email, this was all “genuinely” just speculation.

Another excellent post. I really enjoyed reading the background on the Conan movie poster too. Thanks for that link.
