Misprinted Movie Posters
« on: June 21, 2010, 11:58:48 PM »
I have come across many examples of posters with misprints including names or words that have been misspelled including the withdrawn Tomorrow Never Dies James Bond British Quad where they added an extra "m" in the spelling of "Tommorrow". I would be interested to see if anyone has other examples.

Here is a great example of an error that slipped through the net - an extra "L" in Millionaires

This one's probably a little esoteric, but in this US WC for the first silent release (note the title is just "White Hell..., while the mid-30s sound re-release title is "The White Hell...", now that's even more esoteric, but I digress...). 


Director and inventor of the "mountain movie" genre, Dr. Arnold Fanck is renamed for the US:



I suspect whoever created this window card might have been sampling the wares when this was printed, or maybe they were just feeling a little "sensative":

Heres a french one panel for WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS from 1968.  Note how director Ishiro Honda's last name was misspelled as FONDA, in the lower left.   :-\

The above mentioned Tomorrow Never Dies quad also referenced Raymond Benson, the author of the film tie-in novel, as Richard Benson.

Clearly they had their work cut out that morning.

They obviously were... poor old Pierce didn't even have time to have a proper shave before his photoshoot! But be thankful for the glory of photoshop on version two of the quad.

I think the shaven aspect of Pierce was that in the early days, he was considered so youthful that 'they' decided he should sport a bit of a shadow to toughen him up a bit - appearance-wise.

This was confirmed in the shooting with Teri Hatcher when she said had a real problem kissing the guy due to the pain of it all.

The unshaven bit was carried through to the poster but then it was decided against that for the marketing purposes.

A French poster for FRANKENSTEIN. Directed by James Whall   ;)

Powerful and different imagery, nevertheless.

I think I've posted this before. Arg 1sh for "Lady and the monster" (La dama y el monstruo)
They printed a wrong title "El alma y el monstruo" (translated as "The soul and the monster) and later added a snipe with the correct translation

Really a COOL poster, Matias..

and the Snipe matches pretty perfectly, too, color wise, for the most part.

I may use some of that  ginkgo biloba too.
I didn't remember if I had posted that, and I am far too lazy to search it  :)

Italian 2F for the 1943 film, Corregidor. The poster shows it starring Donalds Wood, rather than Donald Woods and the bigger mistake and printing error, is that Edgard G Ulner (Edgar G Ulmer) is credited as director. He was actually the screenwriter. The film was directed by William Nigh.

Oops.  8)
