  Predator 2

  £325.00

  “Ten years ago one of his kind stalked and eliminated an elite special forces crew in central America. There were two survivors. They indicated that when trapped, the creature activated a self-destruct device that destroyed enough rainforest to cover 300 city blocks. Remarkable weaponry. That’s right lieutenant. Other-world life-forms.”

  The success of “Predator” when released in 1987 meant a sequel was always inevitable, however the action hero of the first movie wasn’t available – move over Arnie and welcome Danny Glover. Not only was there a new direction for the hero but the jungles of South America were swapped for a crime ridden Los Angeles. A clever follow up in many ways as it really does continue where the first movie finished as the Government, now fully aware of an other worldly being try to turn the tables and trap a predator – bad move. This 2021 Private Commission by Juan Carlos Ruiz Burgos features spectacular artwork, and is actually the first time a licensed print for “Predator 2” has been issued, and frankly it would be a hard to find a better one as Burgos really has created something special. Titled ‘The Concrete Jungle‘ it is printed on Cougar White paper using fifteen (15) coloured inks which includes a glitter varnish used to mimic the wet skin of the Predator and a bright luminous green glow in the dark ink for the title. Hand-numbered #45 from a print run 110 this beautiful example displays and presents to excellent effect and represents an incredible looking piece of modern cinematic memorabilia.

  Trivia: Keyes (Gary Busey) is the first character to ever use the word “predator” to refer to the creature on-screen when he says “we’ve prepared a trap for this predator”. The word “predators” is also used by Isabelle in Predators (2010), but she uses it to refer to the human characters in the film, not the Predator creatures. It wasn’t until The Predator (2018) that the creature itself is referred to as ‘predator’ again, with someone adding that the term ‘hunter’ would be more appropriate.

  Predator 2

  £195.00

  “Ten years ago one of his kind stalked and eliminated an elite special forces crew in central America. There were two survivors. They indicated that when trapped, the creature activated a self-destruct device that destroyed enough rainforest to cover 300 city blocks. Remarkable weaponry. That’s right lieutenant. Other-world life-forms.”

  Bringing the deadly extraterrestrial hunter from the jungle into the urban heat of Los Angeles, this striking poster for “Predator 2” captures the film’s darker and more confrontational atmosphere. The composition prominently features the Eastern Columbia Building, the celebrated Art Deco landmark upon which the Predator stands during the film. Its distinctive turquoise façade and clock tower provide a dramatic architectural backdrop that firmly anchors the imagery in downtown Los Angeles.

  Measuring 30 x 40 inches, the poster is the traditional landscape-format UK quad. Directed by Stephen Hopkins, the film stars Danny Glover as Lieutenant Mike Harrigan, a determined police officer drawn into a brutal conflict unlike anything he has previously encountered. The cast also includes Gary Busey, María Conchita Alonso, Bill Paxton and Kevin Peter Hall, who returned as the formidable Predator.

  Presented rolled, as issued, in excellent condition, the poster retains a particularly clean and impressive appearance. With its powerful imagery, recognisable Los Angeles setting and association with one of science-fiction cinema’s most enduring creatures, it has tremendous visual impact and is a superb display piece for collectors of Predator, cult action and rare cinematic movie memorabilia.
