"Power Force" Ghanaian Movie Poster

About the Item

Power Force was an American-made martial arts movie from 1991. It starred Alphonse Beni, a Cameroonian born movie star as a crime-fighting ninja. Frequently unable to import official posters, theaters in Ghana hired enterprising artists to create and embellish designs to promote the films in their own style. The result is a whole new genre collected worldwide. In this work, color is used brilliantly to communicate the foreign, relatively unknown martial arts activity with great strength and accuracy.
