There have been a lot of movies featuring a lot of politicians. Some ran for president. Some never got that far, as far as we know. Many were on their way. And still other movie politicians didn’t even live in a democracy, and would need to run a campaign of sorts. That’s why I’ve put together these campaign posters for various movie character politicians in their quest for the White House.
EDIT: Probably poor form that I didn’t mention–this is part of the Large Association of Movie Blogs’ wonderful photoshop contests, found here.

HAHA these are great. We just had an election here in New Zealand to decide who would run the country. It was very tense, but the winner was predictable.
Blutarsky for President!
Blutarsky would definitely get my vote of these characters, beyond a doubt. I shan’t be intimidated by Adenoid Hynkel.
teehee John Maclane looks well shifty in that one!!
McClane’s my favorite too! Since I’m practically apolitic I would love to vote for movie characters instead of politicians even if sometimes they feel like they’re movie characters…
I’m increasingly falling in love with your posts. How do you get these ideas?
Thanks! I wish I could claim credit for this but I absolutely can not. The LAMB (Large Association of Movie Blogs) is having a photoshop contest and this was their idea. Actually, it’s probably poor form that I didn’t mention it, so I’ll do it here. Here’s the link:

Ooh, gotta try one too. It sucks that I don’t live in the UK or America. =(
I also see that you’ve already won two (as far as I know). Loved the Star Wars one.
Ahahaha… awesome John! LOVE the McClane one, I mean he’s all bloody w/ that smirk on his face, right on! The Jefferson Smith one looked so real and he’s probably gonna make a good president too 🙂
The funny thing about the Jefferson Smith one- and actually, all of these except for Hynkel- is that it’s based on an actual presidential campaign poster. Or in Smith’s case, it’s an FDR campaign button, turned into poster form. Palpatine was an LBJ poster, Blutarsky was Reagan, McClane was McCain, and Stanton was Obama. It would’ve been my preference to put Stanton into a Clinton one but I couldn’t find any for some weird reason.
You know McClane’ll get the job done because he’s got blood on his face.
I would vote for someone named Palpatine.
Nice work once again! Really dig that McClane ad.
