You’ve seen this (http://endoftheworldfor.us/files/Defcon4.jpg), right? I used to marvel at the one in the video store as a kid.

Hey!! – No I’ve never seen that! or heard of it, and believe me I’ve watched many a Shite B-movie – what do you reckon – must be a rip off as the artworks been adapted slightly…

I have the poster for Def-con 4 on my wall, so i did a triple take when i saw this image. I’d say they had to get the rights to modify the original, it’s just too similar and the movie was likely in the same era.

I’m pretty certain it’s just a rip-off, it looks just like a blatant copy rather rather than a reworking…. and it’s not Angus Mckie’s home site….
