MOVIE POSTER FRIDAY!!!
Hi! I'm Troy McClure!

Photobucket

You might remember me from sure classics as "Poster-rama" and "Dude, Where's Saul Bass?"

Today I'd like to take a look at my amazing movie career. As you know, I've made millions of movies and T.V. shows as the person I am based on in real life...



Photobucket

I'M DOUG McCLURE! The REAL-LIFE person that this cartoon is based off. Since he's fictional, let's look at my movies and what has allowed Troy here to benefit from my career!


NOBODY'S PERFECT
Photobucket

But I sure as hell am. This was one of my first leading roles. A majority of my career was on T.V., as I was an 'A' list star for T.V. movies through the 70's.


BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUNG
Photobucket

I'm in this flick, but who the hell would give Dick Clark a leading role over me? Anyways, he plays a teacher helping troubled kids and then they play a ton of Rock N' Roll. Speaking of which...


THE LIVELY SET
Photobucket

They got singer Bobby Darin in it, but they make some one else sing his songs. That's me sitting in the car in an unsafe manner while Liberace drives away...


KING'S PIRATE
Photobucket
Aren't I dashing?


SHENANDOAH
Photobucket

Here I am with Jimmy Stewart. I've got an awesome "7 Brides For 7 Brothers" look and that's how I ended up in this movie. But the 70's would have me fighting a ton of monsters!


BARBARY COAST
Photobucket

Me and the Shat-Man had a western on T.V. We also had Richard Kiel join us! Me and Bill were so bad-ass, they had to suppress us after 13 episodes.


BEAU GESTE
Photobucket

This was a remake. That's me with the rifle!


THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT
Photobucket

Here I am beating a caveman with a rifle...


WARLORDS OF ATLANTIS
Photobucket

Fighting an octopus with a rifle...


??????
Photobucket

Not sure which H.G. Wells/E.R.B. flick this is, but I'm in it, as there's me using a rifle...


AT EARTH CORE
Photobucket

Here, I forget the rifle and just use a large nuclear drill and wipe out a civilization!


LAND THAT TIME FORGOT
Photobucket

This time, instead of People, Time forgets a whole chunk of land!


LAND THAT TIME FORGOT (Foreign)
Photobucket

Same thing, but from the other side...


HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP
Photobucket

All the strange creature movies I made were PG. This one was a hard "R". It's "Creature From The Black Lagoon" meets "I Spit On Your Grave". I take a lots of these things out with a shot-gun!


HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP (UK Version)
Photobucket

In England, it's called "Monster" for what ever reason. There's a scene with a guy getting his head ripped off that was in the original theatrical release, but is now missing on all home video versions except in Japan.


THE HOUSE WHERE EVIL DWELLS
Photobucket

I pass the baton of being kick-ass to Edward Albert, not to be confused with Eddie Albert, but they are related. Here, we get possessed by ghost and fight. I get cut in half.


FIREBIRD 2015 A.D.
Photobucket

The end of an era. The world got serious and stopped enjoying kick ass adventure. So, I hunkered down in my 50's and took on awesome guest roles on T.V. and great cameos in movies. It sucks because I died of lung cancer at age 59. But my legacy lives on. Here's a great memory:


CLINT EASTWOOD!
Photobucket

Here I am beating up Clint Eastwood. we had a few drinks and then we...


"STOP THIS!"

Photobucket

"I'm TROY DONAHUE and I've had enough of this! I'm calling you out Doug McClure! I'm the REAL one they based Troy McClure on! next week, I'm gonna kick your ass with my poster layout!"

Looks like there's a fight a brew'in in the land of Movie Poster Friday! Tune in next week to see if Troy Donahue can beat Doug McClure!

Finally, some intrigue lands on MPF. I can't wait to see what Troy has to offer!

I think the "??????" poster is the foreign version of "Warlords of Atlantis" (the translation of the title at bottom says "The 7 Cities of Atlantis"), and McClure is dressed similarly and wielding a rifle in both posters.

He is almost Matt Damon in that "Nobody's Perfect" poster.
