Not at all.. look at the first images posted in this thread, as well as the Russian FRIGHT NIGHT poster. These posters used actual imagery previously used on other films' posters.

Posters with similar design layouts or characters posing in a like fashion on different posters are not the same thing. There will forever be posters that look similar.. it is just bound to happen.

Here again was the kind of duplicate imagery I was meaning.. it is pretty straight forward- the same Karloff likeness was used for 2 different movies:

The image of the naked Russian queen from the infamous German porn movie has been stolen from a random Boris Vallejo painting (can't remember which one, sorry).
Not the best example, I know. However the poster's been made by German's most prolific and well-known artist called Lutz Peltzer. Catching him on plagiarism is a bit weird.

Here's the poster in question (slightly nsfw, artistic nudity)

US OS for NOT OF THIS EARTH (1957) and an Argentine OS for ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS (1957). In the US, these films were released together as a programmed, double bill.

Both were produced and directed by Roger Corman. So "borrowed art" is probably a better term in this case.

Great find, Ted. Nothing does it like complete and blatant ripoff.

And the SATYRYKON '96 is far better than the *snooze* digitally pasted SNOW WHITE imagery, too, IMO.

Studios should bitch slap designers who do this sort of thing.
And, they should get a refund.
Lazy, uncreative bastards...

I wonder if they are utilizing Bruce's auction history to pillage design ideas?

The late Frank Frazetta is so often swiped, it is ridiculous.
Here's a Spanish one sheet that has 'borrowed' Frazetta's line art from "A Fighting Man of Mars."

I know it's hard to take your eyes off her haunches, but I thought that root (lower left) also looked familiar...

This Argentine one sheet used some Frazetta foliage to improve their version of 1981's TARZAN THE APE MAN, by tapping this Ace paperback book cover of JUNGLE TALES OF TARZAN.

What an incestuous trio of loco's.

And that Italian TARZAN is something else.

Great finds, gentlemen.

This is an unbelievable thread.
