‘Army of Darkness’ AKA ‘Captain Supermarket’?
I pride myself with knowing a lot of useless shit about films, too much useless shit if i’m honest, yet somehow this gem of information had eluded me until now. The Manchester Morgue Blog had this (above) Japanese version of the poster for ‘Army of Darkness’.. renamed in Japan to ‘Captain Supermarket’ (Kyaputien supamaketto: Shiryo no harawata III). That name coupled with the sheer madness that is this poster is why I love Japan.
For comparisons sake here’s the US poster, no shopping bags with chainsaws in them or dancing toothbrushes on that one is there? exactly… rubbish.
The MM blog opened my eyes, and for that I thank them, if you check out the site, i’d recommend grabbing one of the compilations they put together of awful/great obscure horror movie music while you’re there… like this, featuring such classics as the end theme to Troll 2 and a musical number from ‘Lady Terminator’… much awesomeness
