It looks like those Nigerian movie posters that made the rounds on the internet some years back.

In Africa it was cheaper to get local artists to paint a movie poster than it was to print and license them.

This is one of those posters.

Often the artists had little to no mobie knowledge

Is that supposed to be Lola Bunny??? lol there gotta be more info on this.
Context? Source? Anything useful?
They are Ghanian movie posters. Local artists in Ghana had to make movie posters for many releases. This one specifically was displayed in Odd Obsession, a video rental store in Chicago that closed permanently a couple years ago.

Is that Lola and does Lola have armpit hair?

I guess she would since she is a bunny with fur but still...

Some of these are so ridiculous I can't tell if they're actual posters or a parody of the Ghana style ones.
Or did the artists become self aware, and lean into it now?

I like that Jeff Goldblum seems to be modelled on Jabba the Hut in the JP poster

These are, and I use this word utterly and completely, atrocious.

I need to print every single one.
