Don’t Panic – Polish poster
Is this really a Polish poster? It's certainly not the sort of imagery that springs to mind when I think of Polish posters. Though I suppose it is well past the golden era for Polish poster art, not to mention it's for a low-budget Mexican slasher.
Las Lobas del Ring (She Wolves of the Ring) – Mexican poster
It should come as no surprise that this gorgeously illustrated poster for 1965's Las Lobas del Ring would be included on Mondo Exploito. The real surprise is that it didn't appear sooner. It's trashy in the best possible way. Lurid, colourful, mysterious. What's not to love?
Los Pelotones de Juan Camaney (1990)
What do you get when you put together some of the most beloved Mexican comedic actors and throw anything even remotely resembling a plot out the window? The answer is Los Pelotones de Juan Camaney (Juan Camaney’s Platoons). Luis de Alba is without a doubt one of Mexico’s most enduring film and television stars. With...
El Satanico – Mexican poster
There is nothing about this poster I am not deeply in love with. From the hyper madness to the anatomical impossibilities. I love Mexico. Movie: El Satanico Director: José Díaz Morales Country of movie: Mexico Year of movie: 1968 Country of poster: Mexico
Tres Mexicanos Ardientes (1986)

Tres lancheros muy picudos (1989)
If you condensed all the wonderful, beachy cheesiness of Magnum, P.I. and mixed it with all the unnecessary amount of skin shown on Silk Stalkings‘ eight seasons, you’d still wouldn’t have half of what Tres lancheros muy picudos (Three very clever boatmen) brings to the screen. This 1989 film by Mexican writer, producer and director...
El Día de los Albañiles (1984)
If you have even the slightest interest in latsploitation, it’s only a matter of time before you come across El Día de los Albañiles (The Day of the Bricklayers). Released in 1984, this film embodies everything that was “wrong” with Mexican cinema in the 1980s. However, the film managed to become somewhat popular and was...
Bellas de Noche (1975)
Mexican cinema is full of little treasures. Mexploitation is great and a lot of people are aware of it, but the genre has an offspring that fewer people know about and that many wish to keep that way. Cine de ficheras, also known as sexicomedias, is a genre that sprouted in Mexico around 1976 and...
