13 Movie Posters That Got Roasted Online Because They Were Poorly Photoshopped

The idea that studios spend millions of dollars developing movies and then issue heinously altered posters to promote them is difficult to comprehend. Worldwide, movie posters are used to promote upcoming films and to attract new audiences. There have been some iconic posters throughout history that have done an excellent job at capturing the public’s attention. On the other side, some posters are eye-catching, but for entirely the wrong reasons. We’re discussing Photoshop gaffes here. While it’s no secret that actors’ and actresses’ appearances on posters are “altered,” there are some who truly takes the cake in this department. The power of cinema can easily be lost in production if the special effects are done correctly, and there are a number of movies that have excellent special effects. There are a variety of reasons why terrible photoshop disasters can occur. Sometimes people’s heads are far larger than their supposed bodies. Other times, the arms or legs are far too long for their bodies. In some instances, it’s downright ludicrous.

3. Gulliver’s Travels. Well… This one is a blunder!

Someone needs to pay a visit to the dentist! Or maybe the editors need to start paying attention. In this poster of Gulliver’s travel, the tiny people are normal but the fact that his mouth and teeth are missing is not!

4. 300. Didn’t King Leonidas use a spear in this movie?

There is no doubt that this film is a masterwork of action and thrill-seeking storytelling. The editing of this poster, on the other hand, is quite bizarre. In the film, King Leonidas engages in combat with a spear. He is, however, wielding a sword on this image. Also, the fact that the sword appears to be hovering behind his hand if you look attentively at the image.

8. Going the Distance. How did that hand get there?
