    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Attack of the 50 Foot Woman

    not that I'm complaining. I just think it's funny how the poster shows Allison Hayes attacking a major city, and picking up cars. While in the movie itself, her rampage lasts just minutes, and isn't nearly as shocking. I can't say that I love the movie, but I do love the poster! It seems to represent the fun idea and spirit of all of those 1950's B-movies, even if the actual films weren't that great. For that alone, it deserves its iconic status.

      Best movie poster I've ever seen. I saw this movie when I was a kid
      on the big screen. She was stunning on the big screen.

        I had to go take a look at the poster. To me it looks like she's taking a dump on the highway.

          I think that would have been her protest against people not going green with their gas guzzling cars littering the highway. So, she would litter the highway 50' woman style.

            That would be one massive dump

              I agree completely. That image is so misleading. I can't imagine why they bother to show it on the DVD cover except to mislead us. I had no expectation that the movie was about to end when it did, especially after only an hour or so. I thought that she was about to recover from her electric shock and head into Los Angeles or elsewhere and start playing havoc on the freeways (as depicted in the image), which frankly would have been a lot of fun
              , though admittedly she'd have to be a lot more than 50' tall to stand astride a multi-lane freeway.
