I’m a huge fan of foreign versions of movie posters. Recently I discovered this crazy Japanese Army of Darkness movie poster on PosterWire. Now if only they would make reprints of this one-sheet, then I would have Bruce Campbell soup cans framed on my wall.

Other than the dolphins and the green head (who is that?), all the items are things you find in a supermarket so it fits perfectly.
