Another, "Oops I thought it was best" entry I found while looking for bad ones.

"What's the pitch for Indiana Jones 3?"
"Well, Indy, the guy with the hat? He's back. And this time he's bringing his dad."
"Great. Put it on the poster."

Always has been since the VHS days. Only the movie credits don't say it.
Fun Fact: This movie had a retooled script for Commando 2, which is why the fictional country of Val Verde is in it.
I...I forgot this existed

Pacific Rim: "To fight monsters, we created monsters."
I mean, it sounds kinda cool, but it is absolutely not relevant to anything that occurs or is explored in the film in any way.

I must have the purest mind on the universe because I didn't get what was so bad about that Yogi Bears poster until it was explained to me lol

In the Netherlands it actually was the title of the movie. (Die hard: Die harder)

Most accurate tag line ever. Second worst movie I ever saw in a theater

This is IMO, the most cringe-worthy tag line.. ever.

But it accurately describes the movie.
it's still pretty equally bad along with the film
i can't find that anywhere

Dare you see saw?
Clever word play I guess? Complete wrong tone for the film.
That's not the tagline, it's a review quote. The tagline is "every piece has its puzzle"

"THIS IS NOT A GAME."
What a terrible, unimaginative, spoiler-territory tagline for a movie that features the timeliness line, "The way we win matters."

WIN
MATTERS
would have been a billion times better. They fundamentally didn't know how to market this movie, because it was a quote-unquote "young adult" adaptation without any of the emo crybaby stuff that defines the "young adult" genre.

Incredibly stupid, but it's so stupid I actually want it.
I hope whoever thought of that one got a huge raise!

I absolutely love this movie.
And yes, it plays the plot completely straight. It's amazing.

I like this one because it has about 3 taglines.

That's actually kind of brilliant.
Anyway, I'm going with Flight of the Navigator: "Come along on the greatest adventure of the summer." Yeah, it's a good movie, but that tagline is just so bland.
I'm pretty sure Die Hard 1 is actually the retooled Commando 2. Die Hard 2 was actually an original story.
Wow, straight up tagline recycling...
Well yeah, that was the point.

That Yogi Bear poster is fucked up

Not a fan of The Hitman's Bodyguard's tagline.

Die Hard is based on a book, itself a sequel to a book that was filmed with Frank Sinatra. There was some legal thing that they had to give Sinatra first refusal on the role that became McClane.

I mean, it made the tagline from a previous movie the title of the next movie and use it for the tagline of that movie, also.
I thought it's already happening in Signs!
GAF be slipping, as this gem hasn't been sparkling in the thread yet:

What the... Amazing movie, beautiful artwork on the poster and that's what they come up with?!

Many great examples in this thread but this one is so bloody awful, especially since it's creators probably thought it's so witty

I think this is kind of a cool idea for a series of posters. What's silly is the idea that "A.J." "CHICK" etc. are these iconic characters that anyone would recognize. You need to do these posters for like the Avengers or something.

When Sinatra turned it down, the retooled it to be a sequel to Commando. But then Arnold turned it down, so the retooled it again to become Die Hard.
Die Hard 1's origin is interesting.
