{"title":"Adult \/ Sexploitation  Movie Posters Collection | MPA","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003ecollection\u003c\/strong\u003e groups all \u003cstrong\u003eAdult and Sexploitation movie genre posters and ephemera\u003c\/strong\u003e together for easy search, sort, and filtering, providing a comprehensive archive of a provocative and often controversial cinematic niche. Spanning several decades, these materials showcase the evolution of adult and sexploitation films, which range from softcore erotica to exploitation cinema that capitalized on taboo themes, reflecting shifting cultural attitudes toward sexuality and censorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe adult and sexploitation genre emerged prominently in the mid-20th century, with films like \u003cem\u003eEcstasy\u003c\/em\u003e (1933) pushing boundaries with early depictions of nudity. By the 1950s and 1960s, the genre gained traction through films such as \u003cem\u003eThe Immoral Mr. Teas\u003c\/em\u003e (1959), often considered a pioneer of the sexploitation wave, and \u003cem\u003eFaster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!\u003c\/em\u003e (1965), a cult classic by Russ Meyer known for its bold, campy aesthetic. These films, constrained by censorship laws, used suggestive imagery and innuendo, with posters featuring provocative visuals and taglines to lure audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe 1970s marked a peak for the genre, as loosening restrictions allowed for more explicit content. Films like \u003cem\u003eDeep Throat\u003c\/em\u003e (1972), \u003cem\u003eBehind the Green Door\u003c\/em\u003e (1972), and \u003cem\u003eThe Devil in Miss Jones\u003c\/em\u003e (1973) became cultural phenomena, blending adult themes with narrative ambition. Their posters often embraced lurid colors, bold typography, and risqué imagery, reflecting the era’s sexual revolution and the rise of adult theaters. The 1980s and 1990s saw the genre diversify with VHS and cable TV, introducing titles like \u003cem\u003eEmmanuelle\u003c\/em\u003e (1974) and its sequels, which combined eroticism with exotic settings, and exploitation films like \u003cem\u003eIlsa: She Wolf of the SS\u003c\/em\u003e (1975), which leaned into shock value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThese posters and ephemera are cultural artifacts, capturing the genre’s role in challenging societal norms and testing censorship boundaries. From the gritty, hand-drawn designs of the 1960s to the polished, provocative aesthetics of the 1980s, they reflect the evolving visual language of exploitation cinema. This collection offers a window into a genre that, while controversial, influenced mainstream media and pop culture, from fashion to music videos. By organizing these materials for easy exploration, it invites users to examine how adult and sexploitation films shaped and were shaped by societal attitudes toward sexuality, freedom, and artistic expression over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovie Posters Australia\u003c\/strong\u003e has a large collection of original movie posters and movie ephemera available for you to add to your collection or display and enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf Movie Posters Australia doesn't have what you're looking feel free to \u003ca title=\"contact us\" href=\"https:\/\/moviepostersaustralia.com\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact us\u003c\/a\u003e with some information about what you are searching for (tile name, year, size, and any other relevant information eg. style, advance, condition) and we'll be happy to see if we can find it in our stored items, or through our extensive network of dealers, collectors and contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovie Posters Australia\u003c\/strong\u003e have been avid collectors, and more recently dealers, of original vintage movie posters for 40 years.

Directed by \u003cstrong\u003eTim Burstall\u003c\/strong\u003e and written by \u003cstrong\u003eAlan Hopgood\u003c\/strong\u003e, this film became a cultural phenomenon, celebrated for its bold humour and unapologetic take on Australian masculinity and sexuality.

This \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal Australian Daybill movie poster\u003c\/strong\u003e is a rare collectible, embodying the vibrant and playful aesthetic of this iconic film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plot centres on Alvin, a waterbed salesman from Melbourne who, despite his ordinary appearance and shy demeanour, has an uncanny ability to attract women. From housewives to psychologists, women of all ages and backgrounds pursue him, leading to a string of hilarious and often risqué situations. The film’s light-hearted exploration of sexual liberation, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Australia, resonated with audiences, making it one of the highest-grossing Australian films of its time. Co-starring \u003cstrong\u003eAbigail\u003c\/strong\u003e as the seductive Tina and \u003cstrong\u003eLynette Curran\u003c\/strong\u003e as the compassionate Maureen, the ensemble cast brought depth and charm to this comedic romp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirected by \u003cstrong\u003eTim Burstall\u003c\/strong\u003e, a pioneer of the Australian film revival, \u003cstrong\u003eAlvin Purple\u003c\/strong\u003e was produced by \u003cstrong\u003eHexagon Productions\u003c\/strong\u003e, a company instrumental in shaping the local film industry. Burstall’s direction leaned heavily into the film’s farcical tone, blending slapstick humour with social commentary. The movie was shot in Melbourne, with iconic locations like St Kilda and suburban homes adding authenticity to its distinctly Australian vibe. An interesting fact about the production is its low budget—approximately AUD$202,000—yet it grossed over AUD$4 million at the box office, proving the commercial viability of Australian-made films during the 1970s renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAlvin Purple movie poster\u003c\/strong\u003e, printed by \u003cstrong\u003eM.A.P.S.

The film's explicit content and unflinching portrayal of the entertainment industry's darker aspects generated massive controversy and predominantly negative reviews from critics. It earned a record-breaking \u003cstrong\u003eseven Golden Raspberry Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e, including Worst Picture and Worst Director, and was a significant box office disappointment, grossing only $20 million against its $45 million budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, in the decades since its release, \u003cstrong\u003eShowgirls has undergone a remarkable cultural rehabilitation\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The film has developed a devoted \u003cstrong\u003ecult following\u003c\/strong\u003e and is now regularly screened at midnight movie events and film festivals worldwide. Many contemporary critics have praised Verhoeven's subversive direction and the film's audacious approach to its subject matter, recognising it as a deliberate provocation rather than an accidental failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Berkley's fearless performance as Nomi has also been re-examined, with many now appreciating the physicality and commitment she brought to this challenging role. \u003cstrong\u003eGina Gershon's\u003c\/strong\u003e portrayal of the manipulative yet vulnerable Cristal Connors is frequently cited as one of the film's standout elements, delivering her lines with a knowing wink that suggested she understood exactly what kind of film she was making.

Directed by acclaimed Italian filmmaker \u003cstrong\u003eBernardo Bertolucci\u003c\/strong\u003e, the film explores themes of grief, sexuality, power, and emotional alienation with an intensity that was groundbreaking at the time of its release. Written by Bertolucci in collaboration with Franco Arcalli and Agnès Varda, the film pushed artistic and social boundaries, cementing its reputation as a landmark of 1970s European cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story centres on Paul, a deeply troubled American expatriate living in Paris, portrayed with raw emotional force by \u003cstrong\u003eMarlon Brando\u003c\/strong\u003e in one of the most daring performances of his career. Paul is consumed by despair following the suicide of his wife and seeks anonymity and escape through a purely physical relationship.

This deliberate detachment becomes the film’s emotional core, allowing Bertolucci to examine intimacy stripped of romance and societal expectation.

Set in post-war Vienna, the film explores themes of trauma, obsession and power through the complex and disturbing relationship between former concentration camp inmate Lucia Atherton, portrayed by \u003cstrong\u003eCharlotte Rampling\u003c\/strong\u003e, and her former SS officer tormentor, Maximilian Theo Aldorfer, played by \u003cstrong\u003eDirk Bogarde\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story begins in 1957, where Max is working as a night porter in a grand Viennese hotel. Living a discreet life while secretly collaborating with a group of ex-Nazis attempting to evade justice, his past resurfaces when Lucia arrives at the hotel with her husband, a conductor. Their unexpected reunion reignites a psychologically charged and deeply controversial relationship that blurs the boundaries between victim and perpetrator.

The film is often discussed alongside other boundary-pushing works of the 1970s that confronted audiences with uncomfortable historical and psychological truths.

Directed by \u003cstrong\u003eGerald Thomas\u003c\/strong\u003e and produced by Peter Rogers, the film cleverly spoofs the emerging popularity of espionage thrillers, particularly the James Bond phenomenon, with its own uniquely British comedic twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story follows the inept and accident-prone trainee spy Charles Bind, played by \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Hawtrey\u003c\/strong\u003e, who is unexpectedly recruited by British Intelligence.

Released during the height of Waters' early independent filmmaking career, the movie cemented his reputation as the self-proclaimed\u003cstrong\u003e \"Pope of Trash\" \u003c\/strong\u003eand further established his longtime collaborator \u003cstrong\u003eDivine\u003c\/strong\u003e as one of cult cinema's most unforgettable performers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story follows Dawn Davenport, brilliantly portrayed by \u003cstrong\u003eDivine\u003c\/strong\u003e, a rebellious and attention-seeking teenager whose life spirals into increasingly outrageous and criminal behaviour after a disastrous Christmas morning. Furious when her parents refuse to buy her the fashionable cha-cha heels she desperately wants, Dawn runs away from home and embarks on a chaotic journey filled with crime, fame, violence and social satire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Dawn grows older, she becomes involved with a variety of eccentric and morally questionable characters, including criminals, photographers and social climbers who exploit her desire for recognition. Along the way she gives birth to a daughter, Taffy, while simultaneously pursuing a bizarre path toward celebrity status. Waters uses Dawn's story to parody society's obsession with beauty, fame and media attention, creating a film that remains both shocking and surprisingly relevant decades after its original release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe film features an ensemble cast of Waters regulars including \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Lochary\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMary Vivian Pearce\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMink Stole\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEdith Massey\u003c\/strong\u003e, all of whom became iconic figures within the director's unique filmmaking universe. Their performances contribute to the film's surreal humour, outrageous dialogue and unforgettable scenes that have helped earn Female Trouble a permanent place in cult movie history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten and directed by \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Waters\u003c\/strong\u003e, the production was made on a very modest budget in and around Baltimore, Maryland, the city that served as the backdrop for many of Waters' early films. Despite limited resources, Waters created a movie filled with audacious imagery, dark comedy and social commentary. The film's themes challenge conventional ideas about morality, celebrity culture and the pursuit of beauty at any cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most interesting facts about the production is that Divine's portrayal of Dawn Davenport is widely regarded as one of the greatest performances in underground cinema. The character's outrageous costumes, exaggerated makeup and larger-than-life personality helped define the visual style that became synonymous with John Waters' filmmaking. Over the years, \u003cstrong\u003eFemale Trouble\u003c\/strong\u003e has developed a passionate international following through midnight screenings, film festivals and home video releases, securing its reputation as an essential cult classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the film is considered one of the defining works of 1970s independent cinema. Its influence can be seen across generations of filmmakers, artists and performers who admire Waters' fearless creativity and Divine's unforgettable screen presence. For collectors of vintage movie memorabilia, an original \u003cstrong\u003eFemale Trouble movie poster\u003c\/strong\u003e represents a significant piece of cult film history and a tribute to one of the most distinctive collaborations in American cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Female Trouble (1974) - to find out more about the movie, posters, and movie trailers, go to IMDB.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0072979\/\"\u003eTo find out more about Female Trouble (1974) click here to go to IMDB.com.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Notes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImages may have a small 'MPA' digital watermark and this does not appear on the poster.
