Crazy 4 Cult 2 Poster - How Many Movie Characters Can You Recognize?

Posted on Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

Gallery 1988: LA will be holding Crazy 4 Cult 2 on Friday, August 22nd from 7-11pm. Basically, it’s a pop culture-infused art show hosted by Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier. The first show featured anything from Jay and Silent Bob to oil paintings of the guys from Shuan of the Dead playing with toys. Andrew Wilson put in over 130 man hours to create this awesome poster for the event. Andrew is a 1988 frequent contributer, and artist at Rockstar Games San Diego. Gallery1988 provided /Film with an exclusive look at the high resolution print. You MUST click on the image above to see all the fantastic detail.

The print measures 39 1/2 x 12 inches and will be available for only $35 at the event and eventually on Crazy4cult.com.

Discuss: How many movie characters can you recognize?

Crazy 4 Cult 2 will feature art from over 100 artists. For more info go to Crazy4Cult.com. Check back to /Film in the coming weeks as we will also have an exclusive preview of some of the coolest new art at this exhibition. But here are two teasers that have been floating around the interwebs. Kathie Olivas’s take on The Shining and Ken Keirns’s Heathers.

    I love the Last Dragon characters,
    Bruce Lee Roy and Sho-Nuff, they even got the glow.
  • Johnny Eck and Prince Randian from Freaks
    ( theyre in black and white)
  • Wish there was some way to tag them like a facebook photo so we could see if we got them all.

    Big trouble in little china ( hanging out the window)

    Behind the "Princess Bride" group, I believe it's two Buscemi's. One from "Living In Oblivion" and the other from "Fargo" And I think I see Max Fisher standing in front of the movie theater, between Willy Wonka and Leatherface.
  • DOH!.. The girl in the window is Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls.

    I knew I recognized that pose from somewhere. Can't believe I missed it. I LOVE that flick.
  • black and white guy holding the baby is Eraser head.
  • aaron G
    has no one gotten johnny utah and bodhi from point break? they're skydiving. also, props to whoever pointed out leroy and sho'nuff--good stuff. and i could be wrong, but is that the hitman from blood simple standing in front of the fratellis?
  • The girl in front of the theater in green tights and pink balls in her hair...

    Is Dawn ( Wiener dog) from Welcome to the Dollhouse and her sister Cookie in the ballerina outfit.

    LOL.. that's fucking awesome. I just realized how much of a film geek I am for getting that one.
  • aaron G gets 20+ geek points for even mentioning Blood Simple.

    Good call mate. :thumbs up:
  • Keith
    I'll be there! I love Gallery 88.
  • woman in the purple dress with the coat hanger is Joan Crawford in Mommy dearest.
  • aaron G

    i've looked over the lists and can't see anyone mentioning they live.
  • Christian Slater in True romance behind the guy with the head in the box...
    Who's the guy with the head in the box? Its bugging the shit out of me.
  • Simon
    @AG They Live was in the first list

    Who's the black guy next to Divine?
  • Ghost got They Live.
  • Is there a bladerunner? If not its a Gross over site.
  • @ Simon...

    I dunno, but the guy beside the Black guy seems to be Bankey from chasing amy..... or Bodie from mall rats.
    The black guy doesn't look militant enough to be Hooper X.

    ( I'm gonna check imbd for all black guys in movies with devine. :P )
  • lurkemore
    agreed with jonny. i looked for Blade Runner without any luck.
  • Mike
    My favorite reference in that is probably the one from Reanimator.
  • Peter
    Better off Dead
  • @Mike

    The head in the box?



    Every time I write that..

    I think of that scene in Videodrome.

    Q)Whats in the box?

    A)I have your head in this box.


    This painting is geeky.. but not geeky enough anymore.

    Hope he does a hardcore geek sequel.
  • Goobity
    Weird Al / UHF is one of the posters, as are the two characters right above "the Car" hood...or is that the ghost of Stuntman Mike's car from death-proof? (Hence the skull and smoking boots...)
  • @Goobity

    Its the chevy malibu from Repo Man.
  • @ Peter.

  • Chris
    -Twin peaks (right next to bruce lee)

    @jonny

    In front of Princess Bride. Lane Meyer on one ski.
  • aaron G
    i agree w/ jonny on the lack of blade runner. other characters i would've liked to have seen rendered in this style:

    brundlefly, veronica, and stathis
    anton chigurh
    daniel plainview
    ripley and the alien
    the cast of buckaroo banzai (including the red lectroids)
    robocop and ed209
    some of the monsters from the mist
    the kids from gummo
    exaybaychay and william blake from dead man
  • Also.. anyone figured out who the girls are playing double dutch with what looks like Glinda from the wizard of Oz?


    oh yeh.. probably too easy/unintentional. But its all happening on Mullhuland Drive. ala David Lynch.


    50+ geek points for Chris on the Agent Cooper. Damn .. How could I not see the pie and coffee.
    and a bonus 10 for figuring out who "the black guy" was. LOL
  • Simon
    Yeah, Chris - good call on "Half Baked", but *really* well done on Twin Peaks. Kicking myself for not spotting that one.
  • Jerris Beutler's Day On
    How are any of these considered "cult" movies? Jay and Silent Bob, King Kong? Mostly everything there is mainstream cinema.
  • Peter
    Harold and Maude by True Romance
  • @ Peter.

    You win. +1000 geek points

    FUCK!!!!!!

    I'm never gonna forgive myself for not getting that.
  • ugh.. its so obvious now looking at it... I just want to fucking kill myself.
  • JFW
    where's the shaun of the deadmstuff? i looked many times and can't find it anywhere.
  • Simon
    @JFW um, I might have been mistaken. Far right of the picture, is that Edward Scissorhands? I thought it was a zombie, with someone holding a cricket bat behind him.

    I'll turn in my film geek badge and gun in the morning
  • Yossarian
    Who is the girl in the window??? Not sure if it is any of the suggestions offered yet. I know I've seen that image before. Please someone work it out before I have to kill myself in frustration!
