We've found something even better than Polish movie posters - Ghana movie posters. Whereas the Polish posters at least had some sort of weird abstract artistic merit, the Ghanaian posters are 100% inept, pure, uncut, bottled & hermetically sealed CRAZY.
The story goes that with the arrival of the VCR to Ghana in the 1980s came a whole heap of "mobile cinema" businesses - enterprising folk who would wheel their televisions, video players and generators from town to town and sell tickets to movie screenings. The success of these businesses often came down to their bold advertising campaigns, which featured these posters - "featuring oil paint on canvas!"

That's awesome! You can see even more details where they've used the fish to cover up some other mistake.
