Laser-blast
A film poster with a young man with a laser gun extended from his arm, shooting out the title "Laserblast". A tagline at the top reads "Billy was a kid who got pushed around ... Then he found the power". The top left shows two extraterrestrial aliens on top of a burning building, opposite an extraterrestrial spacecraft. Below the burning building, people are seen running away on the street. Credits for the film appear below the title, and a skeleton on fire is at the bottom of the image.
