During the '80s and '90s, African artists were tasked with making Hollywood movie posters seem as exciting as possible, regardless of plot. Not only that, a fair share of the time they were creating promotional material for films they hadn't even see. Their works had to sell tickets, so if the movie was said to be gory, the poster had to be the goriest (we're talking skulls, blood, skulls dripping blood, crushed skulls, etc).
