Movie Poster Mondays

German poster for HERCULES THE INVINCIBLE (aka Hercules in the Land of Darkness) starring Dan Vadis

The simple poster promises something akin to DANTE'S INFERNO while showcasing the film's best asset: Dan's physique. This pose/scene actually happens in the film so it doesn't come from the artist's imagination. I know this 'cause I made a gif animation of this very scene years ago. I guess the German  advertising department, the artist and I thought the same thing when we noticed this shot: impressive.

    Not even elephants are stronger than he is. But he tuckers out after just a little while. What if his dad the Sun hadn't broken his chains? He would have been defeated. Indeed, he already was. That is very cool.
