Shaw Brothers wrong posters

I noticed that some posters are awfully wrong, for instance announcing a title and showing actors who aren't even in the movie.

I noticed too that this often happens with German posters (in addition to strange titles for the movies...).

I just found one of them for Shaolin Handlock, showing a fight between Bruce Li and Ku Feng, with Bruce Liang in the middle, and announcing the actors Lo Lieh and Bruce Li !!

Oh man, that's also Lo Lieh's character Han Tang from "Killer Clans."

I never saw a messed up Shaw Brother's poster until now.  I do remember seeing a poster called "Revolt of the Dragon" supposedly a film about the life and times of Bruce Lee with a picture of Henry Yu Yung on it.

Another one : a fake poster of Shaolin Mantis, with Ti Lung in it :bs_laughing: and guess what ? This poster is for the movie Death Duel, if I'm not mistaken !!

double jackpot :D yes it's DEATH DUEL. The title translation was appropriate for once ...  but then they added a tiger claw.

German poster advertises Duel of The Iron Fist, but the artwork is of Wang Yu in One-armed Boxer.

German poster for SENTIMENTAL SWORDSMAN. At least they got the names right.

Ku Feng was Chief Eagle Yu Xi-Hung in two roles as was Fu Sheng as Cho Yi-Fan.
