Wow, some amazing ads here as always! Odd that MASTER OF DISASTER aka TREASURE HUNTERS (1981) has an 'R' rating considering it's a comedy kung fu movie and one of the best of that lot. Do you guys know if that was a self imposed rating?
I got to see some of these at a local Drive In, so seeing these ads is quite nostalgic. I remember perusing the Greensboro paper for the entertainment ads to see what movies were playing. They used to have a lot of midnight shows back then, even though I was too young to go to a lot of those movies, seeing the ads were a lot of fun. I wish I had the foresight to hold on to a lot of those old newspapers now.

MASTER OF DISASTER was indeed rated R. World Northal submitted it to the MPAA in 1982.
