Photoshop fails go to the films: The worst movie posters


Film posters are used the world over to promote upcoming movies. There are numerous iconic posters all through historical past that do an incredible job at grabbing your consideration. Then there are posters that seize your consideration, however for the utterly mistaken causes. We’re speaking about Photoshop fails. It is no secret that the looks of actors and actresses is “altered” on posters, however some simply take the biscuit.
We have rounded up a number of some the of the funniest, unbelievable and downright weird film poster Photoshop fails.
Blonde and Blonder (2007)
Say what you want in regards to the title, and the probably high quality of the film – all we are able to see is a few really dangerous Photoshop work to get Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards’ heads on these our bodies. Yeesh.
The Greening of Whitney Brown (2011)
There are a number of issues mistaken with this picture, the obvious of which might be becoming a horse in a Mini Cooper. Certainly they’re horsing round with this one?
Gulliver’s Travels (2010)
Moreover the very fact Jack Black, like most different actors, has been airbrushed, we won’t assist however marvel the place his tooth have gone. Certain, he is aghast at his state of affairs, however we have seemed within the mirror whereas pulling the same expression and we are able to see tooth.
What To Count on When You are Anticipating (2012)
There’s not an enormous quantity mistaken with the lads on the backside of this poster for What To Count on, the issues lie with the women on the high. They have been airbrushed, superimposed (we won’t consider actresses of their caliber all occurred to be free on the identical day for a poster shoot), Elizabeth Banks’ neck appears to have disappeared.
Grudge Match (2013)
Grudge Match tells the story of two retired boxings entering into the ring with one another for one final combat and stars two of Hollywood’s best actors in Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro. Whereas we’re conscious they’ve the monetary clout to maintain themselves trying youthful for longer, we actually do not suppose their our bodies look 60+ years previous. They’re little doubt in higher form than we might ever think about to be on the identical age, however the our bodies on this poster look far too younger for such iconic and immediately recognisable actors.
Tresspass (2011)
We do not even really feel the necessity to say what’s mistaken with this poster for Trespass, accurately apparent. Each Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman have been airbrushed to inside an inch of their lives to the purpose the place they do not even appear like actual individuals.
Aquaman (2018)
In 2018, promotion began for the Aquaman movie with this Tweet showing on-line. The web shortly realised the sharks within the background had been copied in from Getty photos and so they set about making their very own variations. Considered one of which included a mass of Disney characters making cameo appearances.
Tomb Raider (2018)
This poster for the upcoming rebirth of Tomb Raider reveals the beautiful Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft. What’s mistaken with it, we hear you ask? Take a better take a look at her neck and you may discover she’s been morphed right into a human/giraffe hybrid. It is too lengthy and too curved to be thought of human.
Arrival (2016)
Once more, this poster for Arrival appears completely positive at first, the massive black puck-like alien ship has descended on an Asian metropolis. However which Asian metropolis? Going by the vast majority of the skyline, you would be proper for saying Hong Kong. Nonetheless, the tall constructing on the entrance proper, with the sphere close to the highest, that does not belong in Hong Kong. That is as a result of it is Shanghai’s Pearl Tower. This model of the poster induced such uproar in Hong Kong that it was eliminated and corrected lower than 24 hours after being launched.
I Am Wrath (2016)
I Am Wrath stars a then-62-year-old John Travolta on his mission to catch his spouse’s killers and get justice. The most important discrepancy with the movie’s poster is simply how easy Travolta’s pores and skin is for a person of his age. We all know a number of Hollywood stars use sure surgical procedures to masks their wrinkles, however his face simply does not look actual.
I Am Wrath (2016)
Third time’s a attraction? What’s going on with the proportions of John Travolta’s physique? We do not bear in mind him being so brief or having such an enormous head, do you?
I Am Wrath (2016)
One other weirdly Photoshopped model of the I Am Wrath movie poster sees Travolta showing in what appears extra like a online game poster than a movie poster. It is as if he is been crafted with pc graphics fairly than snapped with a digital camera.
The Boss (2016)
This is one other instance (it will not be the final, belief us) of when airbrushing goes too far. Melissa McCarthy does not want any assist trying younger, however whoever made this poster clearly felt she wanted a touch-up.
The Legend of Tarzan (2016)
The Legend of Tarzan acquired blended opinions from critics and for those who check out the ape on the proper, he appears a bit dumbfounded by that. All the opposite apes within the poster look offended and, nicely, ape-like. However the one on the proper comes throughout a bit too gormless for our liking.
Logan (2016)
Logan was an absolute marvel of a movie and supplied a becoming farewell for Hugh Jackman as our favorite clawed-crusader. It is subsequently annoying {that a} movie so nice was given a poster with a mistake. We think about Hugh Jackman’s fingers are fairly massive, they actually look it on this poster. So fairly how a younger lady’s hand is ready match round it begs the query “how lengthy are her fingers?!”.
Hit by Lightning (2014)
This poster for Hit by Lightning is taken into account by some to be the worst of all time. The three actors featured clearly aren’t in mattress collectively and in reality, they’re clearly not in a mattress in any respect. It was little doubt accomplished shortly and on a finances, however the way it received signed off and used because the official poster, we’ll by no means know.
Chef (2014)
One other poster that simply screams Photoshop fail is that this one for Chef. The place to begin? Firstly, Scarlett Johansson’s arms seem to have a unique pores and skin tone to her head. Sofia Vergara’s image appears prefer it was taken from a purple carpet shoot after which superimposed, to not point out the very fact her head appears too giant for the remainder of her physique. And there is additionally the blazing apparent reality none of them are literally sporting chef’s hats, however have fairly been Photoshopped to look as if they’re.
The Want for Velocity (2014)
This poster for Want for Velocity is one other the place you may not, at first look, suppose there’s something mistaken with it, however when you think about the peak of the automobiles in comparison with the actors, you discover some points. Aaron Paul and Dominic Cooper aren’t the tallest males round, however we’re fairly assured they seem to be a good bit taller than the automobiles they’re standing subsequent to.
Good Luck Chuck (2007)
This poster for Good Luck Chuck is supposed pay homage to a well-known Annie Leibowitz photograph of John Lennon straddling Yoko Ono. Whereas the latter was a robust piece of artwork, this poster is a bit of one thing else. There’s zero chemistry between Jessica Alba and Dane Cook dinner, the positioning is simply utterly awkward and if it weren’t for Dane’s arm going beneath Jessica’s hair, we would say he was superimposed.
King Arthur (2004)
This poster for King Arthur is an ideal instance of every little thing that is mistaken with Hollywood. Keira Knightley is a seasoned actress, has received many awards and delivers nice performances. It is a disgrace, then, that whoever was liable for this poster felt her breasts needed to be enhanced. Keira is already an exquisite girl who has modelled for a number of the greatest names in trend and is a pin-up lady for a lot of. There’s nothing mistaken together with her physique Hollywood, depart it alone.
Takers (2010)
The case of Takers is greater than a bit of baffling, to be sincere, in its mix of musicians, has-beens and actors. Nonetheless, although, the poster is much more complicated – none of their heads look convincingly stitched onto their our bodies, other than Idris Elba’s, with Hayden Christensen particularly being victimised by that hat. Hideous stuff.
Heavy Petting (2007)
So Brendan Hines may very well be giving Malin Akerman a kiss on the cheek, however the canine has actually simply been photoshopped into the picture on this poster for Heavy Petting. Additionally, the juxtaposition of the picture subsequent to the tagline makes for humorous outcomes.
Virgin Territory (2007)
We’re not totally certain what is going on on on this poster for Virgin Territory. There is a bizarre mash-up of our bodies and physique elements and Hayden Christsensen does not even appear like an actual human being.
Over Her Lifeless Physique (2008)
Eva Longoria is Spanish however you would not suppose so this heavy-handed Photoshopping of her floating among the many clouds. Her pores and skin has been pretty closely whitened and she or he additionally seems to be lacking her knees.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Half I (2010)
We love a little bit of Potter, and the split-up conclusion to the epic saga of wizardry and heroism is a becoming finale. That mentioned, this poster for the primary half of these two movies has a refined however main error – is Harry in that Underground carriage, or not? His hairline being superimposed over the entire picture makes us suspect somebody could have gotten this one mistaken.
The Wonderful Spider-Man 2 (2014)
The Wonderful Spider-Man 2 did not make some Photoshop errors with only one poster, however two. Within the first, Emma Stone has a ridiculously lengthy proper arm that simply does not look proper, whereas the second is not as apparent at first.
The Wonderful Spider-Man 2 (2014)
It could look cool, Spidey hanging off the aspect of a constructing, however for those who flip the image round so town is the proper method up, it instantly turns into clear that he is defying gravity. Even together with his means to stroll on partitions, the angle he is at would absolutely see him fall off.
Spiderman 2 (2004)
Seems Spidey’s been the supply of picture angst for years, although. This poster for Spiderman 2 has one other case of a quietly freakish arm – Kirsten Dunst’s limb should be bent in all types of how. Truly, that Spidey bicep can also be fairly suspicious, too.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
These posters for Captain America: The Winter Soldier have all of the traditional hallmarks of Hollywood Photoshopping. Scarlet Johansson is already excellent as she is, but the Hollywood big-wigs clearly thought she wanted to have a a lot slimmer waist than she truly does. Anthony Mackie’s physique in the meantime goes from powerful, massive chest to a tiny little waist and slim legs. We’re fairly certain he would not miss leg day on the gymnasium, so he should have had one thing to say about this picture.
The Warmth (2013)
Poor Melissa McCarthy, somebody clearly thinks she does not look that nice, as as soon as once more she’s been the sufferer of some severe airbrushing to make her face look smoother than a bald man’s polished head. Thankfully, or sadly, relying which method you take a look at it, she’s not alone as Sandra Bullock has acquired the identical remedy too.
The Babysitter (2017)
We like this error as a result of it reveals that even the streaming era may be handled to poor Photoshop jobs. If you happen to’re not seeing it right away, attempt to work out which of these fingers is left and which is true.
The Complete Ten Yards (2004)
The bizarre, creepy man with the absurdly huge fingers within the center was the very first thing that struck us as being mistaken with this poster, however issues worsen. Look proper and you may see Matthew Perry’s face does not appear like Matthew Perry’s face, and avert your gaze down and you may see Bruce Willis has sprouted female legs.
How Excessive (2001)
A few of these poster fails you need to take two glances at or extra to see what’s mistaken. Not a lot with this one although, the grass is totally stunning.
Going Overboard (1989)
Going Overboard noticed Adam Sandler grace our screens for the very first time. It could even have been the primary day for whoever was liable for this poster. They’ve by some means made Sandler appear like he is comprised of paper, given him a really unusual pose and superimposed some arm bands for him.
300 (2006)
300 is one thing of a contemporary motion traditional, with its beautiful slow-motion gore and fights dwelling lengthy within the reminiscence. It is a pity this poster cannot match that high quality, although – check out how Gerard Butler’s Leonidas is supposedly gripping that sword and you may see what we imply.
Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)
Whereas there’s clearly some superimposing work happening on this poster for Confessions of a Shopaholic, it is fairly innocent as a result of it is clear what it is making an attempt to point out. The one factor that does not make sense is Isla Fisher’s left arm. It has been very cleverly ‘shopped to look actual, however she would wish to interrupt it to manoeuvre it into that place.
All people’s Fantastic (2009)
This poster for All people’s Fantastic has the standard quantity of airbrushing we have come to count on, however the bizarre factor is the attitude of the digital camera getting used to take a selfie. The hand holding the digital camera appears prefer it belongs to somebody off-screen, versus Robert De Niro. Plus, why is not Kate Beckinsale trying on the digital camera? How impolite.
Avenue Kings (2008)
The primary picture on this poster for Avenue Kings reveals Keanu Reeves holding and taking pictures a gun. Our solely niggle, how is he in a position to hearth the gun with no set off finger?
Needed (2008)
At first look it’s possible you’ll suppose there’s nothing mistaken with this poster for Needed, however while you truly take a look at Angelina Jolie’s left arm, you need to begin scratching your head. Her shoulder is coming straight out of her chin, her forearm is extremely lengthy and disproportionate and what’s going on together with her thumb?! Until she has fingers like Shaquille O’Neal or Pat Jennings, we won’t consider her thumb is that lengthy.
The Penthouse (2010)
Yet one more poster that makes it appear near-on inconceivable to get the movie’s actors collectively at one time for an in-the-bed shot. On this poster for The Penthouse, proportions look mistaken, they’re very clearly superimposed, who wears heels in mattress?, why is there a beer bottle that has been shrunk down? The questions go on and on.
The Bounty Hunter (2010)
There are some things mistaken with this poster for the not-very-well-received The Bounty Hunter. Firstly, we’re fairly certain Jennifer Aniston’s head is just not twice the dimensions of Gerard Butler’s. It isn’t as for those who can take notion into consideration and Gerard is sitting within the distance, until after all, Jennifer’s physique is lots longer than we expect. And as for the place Gerard is sitting (on Jen’s left buttcheek it appears), it should be like a bean bag for him to be so sunk into her.
Life As We Know It (2010)
The makers of this poster for Life As We Know It have by some means made it devoid of any depth notion. Josh Duhamel appears like he might kick the newborn when he swings his proper left, whereas Katherine Heigl might actually be reaching for his left to carry him again. Then there’s the cot, which might both be in the midst of the room, or by the window, we simply cannot inform.
Intercourse and the Metropolis 2 (2010)
The 4 main girls of SATC 2 received the Golden Raspberry Awards for worst actress for this movie and we really feel the poster might win an award for being one of many worst as nicely. Sarah Jessica Parker’s eyes look far too shut collectively and the silhouetted calf beneath her gown appears a lot bigger than the one on her seen leg. Kim Cattrall’s left arm has an enormous elbow (one larger than her neck) and an exceptionally lengthy forearm.
Kristin Davis’ knees may be seen as a shadow via SJP’s gown, and so they look extremely low down. Both she’s extremely tall, or she’s sunk right into a deep gap.
Prepared Participant One (2018)
We’re no docs, however we’re undecided that anybody’s leg ought to be as proportionally lengthy as Tye Sheridan’s proper peg is meant to be on this otherwise-nice poster. For a movie that used a lot CGI, it is stunning the poster let the staff down like this.
Mamma Mia! (2008)
We did not spot the photoshop fail at first with this poster for Mamma Mia!, however then you definately take a look at Amanda Seyfried’s neck and take a step again in horror. Both she has the nickname ‘Giraffe’ that we did not learn about, or her neck has been elongated to past all realm’s of risk for completely no purpose in any respect.
Bangkok Harmful (2008)
All the Photoshop fails on this listing are fairly embarrassing, however this poster for Bangkok Harmful takes issues to a brand new stage. Firstly, Nicolas Cage is standing in a bizarre pose with arms that do not look fairly proper. However the greatest fail pertains to the bullet holes within the high proper; the place have they arrive from? He is not holding a gun, regardless of his hand suggesting he ought to be.
The Unintended Husband (2008)
Each Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Colin Firth’s forearms look extremely faux on this poster for The Unintended Husband, but it surely’s simply how brief Firth’s forearm is that basically makes this a photoshop put out of your mind.
12 years a slave (2013)
12 Years a Slave was primarily based on the 1853 slave memoir Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup. So it actually does not make a lot sense for the Italian model of the poster to characteristic Brad Pitt so prominently.
The Voyage House (1987)
We’re undecided what is going on on with this poster from Star Trek IV: The Voyage House. Why is the transporter beam now a rainbow? Odd alternative.
Changeling (2008)
Changeling noticed Angelina Jolie on the lookout for her lacking son. We might think about she had hassle discovering him as a result of he was so tiny.
Slap Her… She’s French (2002)
So many questions on this one and never simply due to the title of the movie. Certainly the huge threatening hand wasn’t obligatory?
Fairly Girl (1990)
Buena Vista / Disney
Richard Gere was fairly suave within the Nineteen Nineties Fairly Girl. He was greying gracefully again then however the individuals modifying the film poster clearly thought he’d like higher with deep black hair. And so his hair ended up being so black it nearly seemed faux.
16 Blocks (2006)
twentieth Century Fox
16 Blocks is a completely satisfying crime thriller starring Bruce Willis from 2006. However this poster misses a tiny key element. In the course of the movie the actor sports activities an exquisite cop moustache however within the poster it is utterly lacking. Bizarre. Different posters for a similar movie even present him with the furry facial characteristic, so it is odd this model does not have it.
