My favorite poster for this incredible WWII epic...



WWII in the colonies...



WWI in the colonies, even though nearly everyone makes the mistake of assuming this takes place during WWII...



One of the greatest (anti) war movies of all time... and the hands-down best poster for the film IMO (unless you count the larger 1-panel!)...



From the 70mm screening...


Fictional rebellion in south/central America based on exploits of William Walker.... 


Another and my favorite... a Spanish re-release from the 70s... sorry I don't have a better photo


Korean/Cold-war...


The cluster-f*#k which was the Vietnam war (technically not a war my ass)... Sorry for the eMovie copy but I don't have a photo handy of my rolled 1-sheet...

Great poster Angelo... I've not seen this one yet.  I was going to ask if it was Czech, but it says it in your URL so I guess yes.  Have you seen the Crazy polish version?  I would post it but I don't own it yet.

I wasn't sure so I looked it up on eMovieposter and, yes, I have come across it (most likely in doing research on the title).  I like it as it's a unique design and differs considerably from the other styles, and not as surrealistic as most Polish posters

Wait... you think this isn't as surrealistic as most Polish designs!?!  I'm pretty sure that is as crazy as it gets my friend ;D

I actually interpret the meaning of this image and how it relates to the movie.  Some of the other Polish posters, not so much.
