Some are unforgettable , like the oversize shark heading in hit man - fashion for a hapless swimmer for the unforgettableJawsposter . Of course , we all know that liberty were take with that one – the shark ’s balance would be more akin to the out gigantic ocean piranha add up soon in the movieMegthan a modern outstanding white .
But unlike today , 1975 audiences did n’t have a Discovery Channel to educate them on shark size of it . Today , that post-horse looks ridiculous . They got away with aesthetic license then . Today , Shark Week fans would know better and laugh at the poster .
We may be more advanced these days , but plenty of movie posters are still picture inaccurate , overly stylized figure of speech which , upon closer examination , reveal mistakes that can ruin some of our preferred movie moment – even in 2017 .
Here are15 2017 Movie Poster Mistakes You Ca n’t Unsee .
Kong Skull Island – Chopper Trouble
There ’s a bunch of really swell and instantly iconic posters forKong : Skull Island . One of them magnificently pay homage to the classicApocalypse Nowdesign , which perfectly captures the madness of humans getting into some serious hobo camp febrility trouble .
Another of the bill seems aimed not at such symbolic stylization , but a more verbatim coefficient of correlation between the big ape ’s size and just how puny and modest we are next to the King . In it , a exclusive whirlybird hovers by Kong ’s eye . It does n’t look allegorical . It look like it could be a still from the movie . And the helicopter is direction too small in balance to the gargantuan gorilla .
In a scene where Kong is actually smash a whirlybird , we can see it ’s a muckle prominent compare to the sizable simian than it is in the poster . In short , you ’re big , you sometime monkey , but you ’re not that openhanded !
Wonder Woman – Tanks for Nothing!
Undoubtedly the most exciting superhero movie in age , Wonder Womanexploded onto 2017 silver screen and straight into our hearts . This wonderful cleaning woman not only kicked buttocks - she bear witness existent pity , extreme bravery , and an power to go beyond phantasy and into serious questions about the nature of warfare and battle .
In one unforgettable scene , our herculean heroine literally tack over a tank - she holds it above her fountainhead and is tempted to habituate it to crush Doctor Poison . But in her movie bill sticker , it ’s not the same tank . Besides being a clearly different model from the film ’s wartime vehicle , the poster is miss the identifying WWI - era Iron Cross symbolisation on the gun enclosure . Maybe the selling team was upset about alienating German audiences ?
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales – Hey, My Skull Is Up Here!
Let ’s just call this a serious design fail . There are a draw of great character - centering placard for 2017 ’s launching to thePirates of the Caribbeanfranchise , Dead Men Tell No Tales . Three of them boast Johnny Depp as Captain Sparrow , Javier Bardem as Salazar , and Geoffrey Rush as Barbosa . They are really great images . Except for one matter : whatever vivid designer worked on these may have had an insalubrious obsession .
As it happens , they take to localize the iconic skull & crossbones ( the trademark for the franchise ) right on top of each of the actors ’ detritus zona . No , these are n’t tatty hipster belt buckles , these are bad Photoshop selection , drawing our eyes right to the private parts of these privateers . Sorry , we just ruin this for you .
Alien Covenant – He Slimed Me – or Did He?
Is there any scarier freak design than the xenomorph from theAlienfranchise ? Even in the last TV game version – Alien : closing off – that tool is terrifying ( essay hiding in a cabinet from it , see what happens ) . The latest cinema from the storied mythology , 2017’sAlien : Covenanthas some pretty weird placard , include one that kind of looks like a murderous riot . One notice , however , has a error that may seem piddling , but exchange the whole equation .
In the “ standalone xeno ” excogitation , one of the homicidal beasts seem to be lunging at the camera . It ’s a very powerful figure . Except that if this cat is coming at us , why are the fauna ’s foresighted strands of dripping mouth slime deform forth alternatively of backward ?
peradventure it ’s not lunging at us at all . perhaps it ’s a guess from an upcoming “ Alien on the beach ” pictorial and it ’s just a warm tropical duck soup pretend the goo flutter in our direction . A lounging seaboard colossus is n’t quite as scarey , now , is it ?
Beauty and the Beast – A Thorny Mistake
Ah , love in a glass shock . It ’s what makes romance fancy and crack - emblematic . That single , iconic , cut flower fromBeauty and the Beast , displayed within a cobwebby gilded tall mallow noggin , really tells the story , right-hand ?
The Beast ’s beautiful soul is trapped in a case , which only Beauty can see and help him release it from its cage of externally hideous show . The whole motive of the rose wine stands out in this classic tale . But be careful – a rosiness has thorns , after all . Or does it ?
In one poster for the 2017 movie release , the rose understandably has no thorns . In another one , it clearly does . Are we nitpicking ? Yes , we are . And unless there is some heavy , important vista where a florist comes in and manicures the petaled prop , we are sticking to it . This placard image is a legit mistake !
Colossal – A Big Meeting That Never Happens
This weird little jewel of a giant monster film fly under a hatful of the great unwashed ’s radar , butColossalis a picture every geek need to see . Without spoiling too much of the very surprising plot , the chief premiss is that a Korean kaiju appear to mime the actions of protagonist Anne Hathaway from half a human race away in America . When she set up her hand on her head , it does too . When she stomps her foot on a tilt , it crushes a house with one footmark , and so on .
Amazing turn of events in the tale ensue , but for one Spanish movie poster , the motion picture ’s own rules are bump . The image is great : Hathaway meeting her outsize avatar face - to - face among the ruination of Seoul . bother is , that ca n’t happen , and it never does in the film .
Why ? Because the movie linguistic rule are that the homo and the tool are always on opposite sides of the world . This makes an in - person find impossible , but hey , they can always Skype .
Mother! – The Heart of an Anatomy Fail
Since at least that organ - plucking moment inIndiana Jones and the Temple of Doom , Hollywood has been doing " rip - a - kernel - out - of - your - thorax " haywire . search , we all love a disturbed and pure second of gore , but get along on ! Ca n’t somebody out there break up up an build book ?
First of all , the heart is n’t in the center of the dresser , it ’s to the left . And it ’s not just under the skin like a vesicle . To get to this muscle , one needs to get past the sternum and rib John Cage , which makes the beautiful and powerful notice for Darren Aronofsky ’s controversial filmMother!a small too inaccurate .
There ’s Jennifer Lawrence , hold her ticker in front of a goggle hole in her chest – which only has soft tissue below . Make no os about it – since there are no bones to speak of in her wound – that ’s not what you would look like at heart . Hopefully we ’ll never need to see that for ourselves !
Spider-Man Homecomin - Avengers Towers’ NYC Skyline Snafu
New Yorkers are a lofty bunch . If you attempt to pass off an inferior pizza pie fade or misguided tube production line onto the citizens of the Big Apple , you ’ll get forebode out with a Bronx cheer . But the Los Angeles - bound Maker ofSpider - Man : Homecomingmust have lack the memo .
See , in this film , the skyscraping Avengers ' Tower is definitely not legit . The fictional geolocation fix of the Tower ’s computer address corresponds to a special spot in Midtown Manhattan , a domicile that the MCU has made sure jives with our humankind perfectly . Except that the view Spidey has in this figure of speech makes a mockery of NYC landmark locations .
From his rod in this bill , no room the literal - animation Freedom Tower would be where it is in sexual intercourse to the Avengers ' HQ . Sorry , MCU , but disbelief can no longer be freeze , not even from a spiderweb .

Serena ’s eccentric has some intricate wrist tattoos that really endure out , especially when she ’s squeezing off round after rung of bullets . Except that in this picky motion-picture show post-horse , they ’ve been airbrush out . Or leave . Or something . What ’s going on ? Is there some international market where organic structure artwork is a big no - no ? Whatever the deal is , it can be said for sure that not everything in the movies is inked in stone .

Centennial State - workers go from urine cool gossip to homicide very quickly , using whatever they can get from the provision closet to bash each other ’s brains in .
It ’s a hell of a crashing affair , to say the least . Which , naturally , is reflected in this splattered figure of speech from the movie posting . But , um , why is n’t that crisp white corporate dress shirt at least a smidge Bolshevik with bloodstain ? Was this guy so punctilious he made sure to use Oxiclean between brutal slaying ?
