    I can see why, Sir Miles 😁

    A Hammer movie…


    Pulp action scenes…


    Three more movies…


    And Suzi getting herself into a precarious position again…


    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    Mars Attacks, and Jaws .... 2?

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 7,280MI6 Agent

    Yes, correct @Barbel good spotting!

    Sci-fi day…



    Movies…


    And a plastic model kit box…


    And finally…The Invaders…


    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    Lovely art. The 2nd movie is definitely The Quatermass Xperiment and the first maybe The Time Machine.

    I like how the woman in the last poster looks mildly concerned at the sight of the large snake that's about to kill her. Sort of the reaction you'd see in people in front of a slippery pavement or a bookshelf with too many heavy books. πŸ˜‚

    Pin-ups…




    Our own lovely Diana…


    And what is Suzi running from (Barbel will know 😁)

    Suzi is running from "The Giant Claw", one of the worst movie monsters ever.

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 7,280MI6 Agent

    I knew you’d get that one, Barbel 😁

    Thought you’d like those, gents 😁

    Four well known faces in the first picture…



    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,929Chief of Staff

    The first is Hannie Caulder, if the others are films I don't recognise them.

  • chrisno1chrisno1 LondonPosts: 3,614MI6 Agent

    The bottom one is Superfly, I think, that's his pimp mobile, although I seem to recall it was silver, not gold. Ron O'Neal is the guy hunkering down under the sexy gril's afro. If I am wrong, I would like to get marks for interpretation! The pics in the middle look as if they may be comic book or trash novel covers.

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 7,280MI6 Agent

    Superfly is correct. There are both silver and gold automobile versions.

    The second is art for a movie before the typography is set. I’ve forgotten what the title is.

    The rest are from men’s adventure magazines from the 60/70’s.

    I was selling books for 40 years and never heard of a trash novel. Pulp, sleaze etc. but not trash. You’ve invented a new genre!

    I know there are reference books on the topic of Trash Cinema

    Trash Cinema: A Celebration of Overlooked Masterpieces

    Trash Cinema: The Lure of the Low

    my favourite Toronto comic shop has separate sections in their basement labyrinth for Sleaze and Smut. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I imagine the Smut is more purely sexual, whereas the Sleaze could be more generally weird with the sex just being one of the transgressive elements. Like the picture above with the soldiers harassing the young ladies I might categorise as sleaze, whereas if we looked in on the characters again five minutes later it might now be Smut.

    A movie…


    Gothic…

    Noir…


    Exploitation…


    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,929Chief of Staff

    The movie It Came From Outer Space, a good one.

    Love the noir ones, but no idea where they're from.

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 7,280MI6 Agent

    The movie is correct!

    I think the noir art comes from book covers and men’s adventure magazines.

    The first gothic illustration is Jane Eyre I think

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 7,280MI6 Agent

    That’s a really good shout, Chrisno1, and if it isn’t, it should be!

    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 7,280MI6 Agent

    No introduction required…

    And again…


    And finally…Suzi in trouble again…


    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • Sir MilesSir Miles The Wrong Side Of The WardrobePosts: 27,802Chief of Staff

    I have that top image…but I’d be happy to have a couple of the others too 🀭

    Sci-fi/Fantasy

    Movies, a Hammer pre-production poster that never happened, some book covers before typography was set, and more.



    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • chrisno1chrisno1 LondonPosts: 3,614MI6 Agent

    Ah, When The Earth Cracked Open, one of my fav imaginations. I had this as a full page pic in a history of Hammer book. I should never have given all those books away...πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’ I always thought the naked diver was supposed to resemble Stephanie Beacham.

    The Norwegian comic book series "Ingeniør Knut Berg på eventyr" (Engineer Knut Berg on adventure) is little known these days even in this country, but it ran from 1941 to 1960 in magazines. It's an adventure/sci-fi series, sort of a mix of Indiana Jones and Flash Gordon.

    Unsurprisingly, I’ve never heard of this before, N24. I like the artwork 🍸
