14 shocking sci-fi and comic book movie posters that were banned

Living in the United States means having to put up with a lot of cognitive dissonance. For instance, the Bill of Rights allows citizens more freedom than in many European countries. At the same time, the Motion Picture Association of America strictly censors movie posters in ways that Europeans wouldn't dream of. To illustrate this dichotomy, we present 14 movie posters that were banned or otherwise recalled, usually by the MPAA. Please note: We did not include horror movie posters, as there is already an excellent article written about graphic horror posters.
