10 Best Car Themed Movie Posters
Who doesn’t love a good car chase?! There are plenty of them on celluloid – ever since Buster Keaton and The Three Stooges, Hollywood has been obsessed with automobiles in pursuit. The art of a car chase scene can be matched only by the art on movie posters. Whether foreign or domestic, people take film advertisements very seriously – so much so that millions have been spent on special edition film posters. We didn’t spend a dime on these images – but we did take the time to browse our favorite Car-Themed movie posters.
10. The Transporter Series
We at Automopedia have always loved how you can line up the three Transporter posters and watch Statham do his thing, with or without an Audi.
9. Duel
Leave it to a story by Stephen King and film by young unknown Stephen Spielberg to create a creep looking advertisement.
8. Vanishing Point
Fiery car crashes and naked hippy chicks – well there’s no nudity on the poster, but plenty of Barry Newman’s head.
7. Smokey & The Bandit
This Spanish poster for the classic car-chase comedy is a mash-up reminding us of an old Playboy cartoon. Yes, we remember Playboy cartoons.
6. Mad Max
The only thing cooler than this fan-made Mad Max poster is…
5. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
…is this other fan made one for Mad Max 2. It’s really Ralph Steadman inspired (Fear & Loathing) and accentuates the lips of Australian people.
4. Bullitt
Bullitt already has a slew of cool 60’s posters featuring the Mustang Fastback, Steve McQueen and guns. This Japanese version really jumps out at the audience.
3. Gone in 60 Seconds
The non-Nick Cage version of Gone in 60 Seconds is an under-appreciated action film with a much better poster history than it’s remake counterpart.
2. Cannonball Run
Another Burt Reynolds car-chase-comedy always shows off ample assets in its advertisements – when it comes to their vehicles that is. And how can you dislike a poster with Sammy Davis Jr.?!
1. The Blues Brothers
Ok, there’s less going on here compared to some of the other posters above. So, why No. 1? Reasons: upside down police cruiser, dancing Jake & Elwood Blues, and a tag line of “The most devastating team since nitro and glycerine.” LOVE IT.
These posters are great! Who compiled this collection and where did you find them?
