POLISH HOME VIDEO COVERS, PART 1

As Sr. del Tigre pointed out a couple weeks ago, Poland has a certain knack for re-packaging and/or re-imagining art from European and American films. As further proof, I present the following -- A veritable cornucopia of fantastic imagery culled from the Flickr page of one "Krystian Kudja". Again, Illogical Bro Cory brought this one to my attention, and I can't thank him enough. Mr. Kudja's collection contains scans of almost 900 (!) home video covers, most of them Polish re-issues and ALL of them 1000% AWESOME. His site is a great place to piddle away a couple hours of your time if you're an 80's/90's B-movie buff, chock full of unknown, forgotten, and ridiculous gems from some of cinema's finest moments.
I'm going to break this post into two parts (20 images today and 20 tomorrow), as the sheer amount of ass-kicking contained herein will probably be a bit too much to digest in only one sitting. These are what I believe to be the 'greatest hits' of his collection, but by all means go check the WHOLE THING out yourself. You will not be disappointed.
