  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.

  Wild at Heart

  £395.00

  “This whole world’s wild at heart and weird on top.”

  Exclusive imagery only used for the British release for “Wild at Heart”, a stunning panoramic flame-filled landscape guaranteed to attract attention. Elvis fan Nicholas Cage (Sailor) sports mirrored shades and a snake skin jacket that the King would have been proud of as he blazes a trail in his Blue Thunderbird complete with girlfriend Laura Dern (Lula) courtesy of cult Director David Lynch. Rare original first release 1990 UK quad poster designed by The Creative Partnership for this surreal David Lynch classic. With beautiful deep colour tones (that pop from the paper) and memorable design this original 1990 UK film poster is extremely scarce and sought after. Although a photographic image the iconic ‘Wild at Heart’ logo is subtly inserted into the bottom right area of the poster. It looks stunning with the desirability of this scarce piece further enhanced as it is beautifully presented in near perfect, unrestored, rolled condition. an impressive and quality item movie memorabilia for a very rare and collectable film poster from one of Cinema’s most revered ‘cult’ directors.

  Trivia: The distinctive snakeskin jacket Sailor wears in the film was actually Nicolas Cage‘s own. Cage asked director David Lynch if he could wear the jacket in the film, as a tribute to Marlon Brando‘s role in The Fugitive Kind (1960). After filming was completed, Cage gave his jacket to Laura Dern.
