- We don’t remember Garfield having weapons and did Groundhog Day really have a GIANT groundhog eating humans?!
A handful of highly skilled artists in Ghana are behind some of the most imaginative, beautiful and exaggerated film posters. These posters are hilarious, captivating, colorful and highly impressive. So much so, that they’ve become a worldwide sensation!
Whilst you may disregard these as misleading bootlegs, anthropologist Dr. Joseph Oduro-Frimpong believes that these posters are vital artifacts of Ghanaian art, history and culture. And he should know, he’s collected over one hundred of them. We begin Black History Month with this story exploring the incredible talent Ghana has to offer…
Special thanks to the Ashesi Center for African Popular Culture.

when will black history month get the "thug shaker" update
They are lucky these have been preserved. Here in the Philippines, it was practuce to have hand-drawn movie posters on large plywood billboards. Due to the time constraint, the posters kind of look worse versions of the original poster. Unfortunately, the plywood was used in some houses and afaik, none remain.
1:33 I just lost it at the garfield movie poster. That is funny
😂😂
Jon forgot to feed him for 1 hour.
it's a shared experience in indonesia too, i was a kid in late 80s and early 90s, and it was super common back then to see the paintings displayed outside cinema buildings. super nostalgic, and now i finally can appreciate the efforts the painters put into their works. they're beautifully done.
Di indo malah lebih gede ukurannya kan yah,ada dulu liputan "penghabisan" poster, yg kerjain bbrp orang gitu
In the past, Indonesia also had this tradition. they used a painting as the official poster for the film.
As far as i know, rajawali theater in purwokerto still using painting for movie poster
Siiiiip!
I’ve been so fascinated by these posters, thanks for doing this!
Thank YOU for watching 🫶
@@GreatBigStoryyou should talk about foreign posters from other countries like Hungary and Poland.
Have you seen the old Hungarian posters for star wars?
wow its pretty much the same at the cinema in Indonesia, to be precise in My hometown called Purwokerto. This cinema called Rajawali stand strong till this day, the unique part is they still draw their display poster manually since the 70's or 80's (CMIIW), they placed the hand drawn poster in the top of the building to gain more consumer.
The film studios should consider hiring these artists
I follow this guy. Now I better buy his prints before they get more expensive
The dirty dancing poster 😂
"Nobody spills Baby's guts in the corner"
Didn't expect to see my country appear on GBS😅. Great video as usual
I remember him from the Conan Episode !
the Hellraiser one is awesome
Super channel.
'Taking it to the extreme' was early clickbait or better yet, moviebait?
I'd love to get a print of some of these for my office. By some miracle does anyone know if these have been scanned and uploaded for purchase?
i love this
lovely
GBS Nice 🎨
Oh word
My dad said there were things like this in Taiwan in the 80s. Nice to see the thing that he described then.
I remember reading about sometimes they'd get a movie and they just painted the poster off of the title alone, not it seems sometimes they embellished it or worse caught for lying. I admire their passion, since the poster was pretty much all they had.
Hey yall x
I wanna question the podter idea of Garfield with Guns
I wanna question the movie idea of Garfield without guns
🤩
I haven’t watched great big story in so long, I thought they left CZcams. What happened?
I would love to see these guys do posters of anime. Imagine One Piece or DragonBall in their style
damn
Didn't Conan visit this guy years ago?
Some1 get this guy to work with Neil Gaiman
First!
Man, GBS is about ten years too late for the 80s Ghana movie poster meme train. I had forgotten these existed.
lol “Cool Runing.”
28th!
Cool Runing is mispelled. Pass!
I wonder if the AI image generators are good enough to understand "Ghanaian hand painted 80s movie poster style"
