This BTTF poster I bought cheap off Ebay slightly spooks me - you'd never know what lurks on the back when framed. (It's referring to the 1985 John Cusack comedy (http://www.movieposterdb.com/poster/cf784d4d) but it's still creepy).

Now if that had had real BoD artwork I woulda been impressed !!
-
That is pretty funny......I dont know that I have seen anything too unusual on the back. I have a Full Metal Jacket that has a blood stain that bled through to the back, if that counts.

I have a Clara Bow lobby card with a box score for the 1933 World Series on back in pencil
I also have a poster that on one panel on back has a long speech for an usher to read before the films shown that night

You must be a Washington Senators fan ;)

I just remembered that I do have a poster with a strange back. It has a Flash Gordon Advance printers proof on one side and Hot Bubblegum on the other side. Similar movies ::)

'games lovers play' is around the early 70's, with joanna lumley if my memory serves me, so those happy hour prices look pretty steep......goodnesss, there's pubs today in Chatham where you can get a pint of draught for £1.50, well this is if you really want to venture into a pub in Chatham :-\

This is a cool thread. I feel like Rich, I'd go nuts at first but then if I got some perspective it would be funny.

Rich, you dont have a pic showing the backs of either of these, do you?
And a little bump.gif to this cool, seven year old thread, in case any of us have come across odd drawings, interesting writing etc on the back of posters gotten more recently. Ive only come across writing of various kinds on several of the older posters I have picked up along the way (title handwritten, columns of number added up etc) and posted them in this thread, which is somewhat related: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,889.0.html

Well, this doesn't apply as wacky more as unexpected.
I bought this a few years ago:
(http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o524/cartinmild1/rsz_1rsz_spy_in_black_zpsxbnv67m5.jpg) (http://s1146.photobucket.com/user/cartinmild1/media/rsz_1rsz_spy_in_black_zpsxbnv67m5.jpg.html)
Now, I already had another copy, except not in as good as condition, printed on the back of a map which is not that uncommon for Belgian posters in wartime due to paper shortages, (although The Spy In Black in itself is hard to find original release paper on). On the back of this one was:
(http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o524/cartinmild1/rsz_1rsz_spy_in_black_back_zpsrzfuvaqv.jpg) (http://s1146.photobucket.com/user/cartinmild1/media/rsz_1rsz_spy_in_black_back_zpsrzfuvaqv.jpg.html)
Belgian wartime posters being a quarter the size of their pre-war counterparts, this was apparently the bottom right hand portion of an earlier Belgian poster. I recognised Michel Simon in the artwork and that the film on which it was based was Boudu Saved From Drowning. If you check on EMP's and Heritage's auction histories there doesn't appear to have been any original paper sold on this title so the original poster recycled for the wartime printing would have been a rare thing (and a great film if you haven't seen it).
I'm never going to have the luxury of choosing but often wondered if I had the missing three portions for Boudu would I sacrifice the four smaller posters in order to restore the larger version?

What a great image to have that notice written on. It gives the words, misspells and all, added "oomph." whip
-
That's amazing!

I have something similar, a list of the movies going to be played at the theater for a couple of months but not on a Bow card.

I posted this in a long-ago Latest Acquisitions thread, but it belongs here too.
Finding a drawing on the back of a poster may not be all that unusual, but I would really like to know who made this drawing and why.

Someone had good caricature drawing skills on that one, Deke. Very nice and an unexpected treat to find, no doubt. thumbup

Killer thread!
I think the finger painting on the back of the Bolshevik poster is my front runner, though the 30's World Series box score is in a close second.
