The thing that you'll quickly find when cruising the net for blaxploitation posters is that they're so similar, they almost become as interchangeable as the films themselves. Even the iconic films of the era, like Shaft and Super Fly, fall victim to the same bland marketing tactics. More often than not, the blaxploitation films that took a step in a more unique direction were the crossover horror and more overtly controversial titles.
