    Trivia: Realizing that the film was running behind schedule and over budget, director Paul Verhoeven and producer Jon Davison purposely did not film one crucial scene: Officer Murphy’s death. When production wrapped, they went back to Los Angeles and grimly informed the execs that Murphy’s death had not been filmed. After watching the footage they did film, the execs were so astonished by the aesthetics and performances they gave the filmmakers more money and they filmed the scene in a redecorated warehouse in Los Angeles.

    Star Trek II:The Wrath of Khan

    £125.00

    “Beyond the darkness…beyond the human evolution…is Khan. A genetically superior tyrant. Exhiled to a barren planet; banished by a Starship Commander he is destined to destroy. Left for dead, Khan has survived”.

    Original 1982 UK Quad movie poster for the best original series Star Trek movie ever “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”.

  • Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Movie Poster

    Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back

    £575.00

    “The Star Wars saga continues”…

    Absolutely beautiful, 1980 US one sheet movie poster for the George Lucas sci fi classic sequel “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back”. This Advance Studio style design features an incredible over-sized image of Darth Vader (so pivotal in this instalment of the franchise). After last being seen spinning off into outer space, the character of Vader was so popular after the first film that Lucas needed to assure the public that he was back for the sequel. Being originally folded (as issued) and totally unrestored  this stunning example displays and presents to a very high standard with deep rich unfaded dark colours and represents a fine addition for any collector of original movie posters or Star Wars fan memorabilia.

    Trivia: In order to avoid sharing creative rights, George Lucas decided to avoid using a major studio to finance this movie. Instead, he bankrolled the $18 million production himself, using a combination of his profits from Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) and a bank loan. Although the move was risky, it paid off several times over. Lucas recovered his investment within three months of the movie’s release.

  • Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi Movie Poster

    Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi

    £225.00

    “A Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.”

    For the third chapter of the original Star Wars trilogy Lucasfilm successfully chose a number of internationally acclaimed artists to present a varied series of designs for the Worldwide advertising campaign. Much like Darth Vader dominated the advance poster campaign for “Episode V” (the Dark) it is Tim Reamer’s single Lightsaber imagery that heralds the the third and final instalment (the Light) of the original trilogy. The poster here is the scarce large format (one-sheet size posters are printed in incredibly low numbers when compared to the more common B2s) Japanese B1 one-sheet by Tim Reamer which features Luke’s lightsaber pointing high to the stars. Presented here in fantastic unrestored folded (as issued) condition this beautiful example looks magnificent; deep unfaded vibrant colours where you can believe the lightsaber really is pulsing with power. An impressive piece of original Star Wars cinematic movie memorabilia from what was (until recently) the defining chapter in the Star Wars original trilogy. From a personal viewpoint I feel the Japanese typography perfectly suits the design and only adds to the overall effect.

    “Leia. You have that power too. In time you’ll learn to use it as I have. The Force runs strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And… my sister has it. Yes. It’s you, Leia.”

    Trivia: Leia strangling Jabba was an homage to the death of Luca Brasi in The Godfather (1972). George Lucas worked as an assistant editor on that movie.

    The Cincinnati Kid

    £350.00

    ”He’d take on anyone, at anything, anytime ….it was only a matter of who came first !”

    A personal favourite; film and poster. (IMHO) McQueen’s best performance, he was the ‘The Kid’…Without doubt one of the best looking McQueen film poster images. With design and artwork by Georges Allard this original 1965 French ‘Medium Affiche film poster for “The Cincinnati Kid” (Le Kid de Cincinnati) is a stunning piece.

  • The-Day-of-the-Jackal-Movie-Poster

    The Day of the Jackal

    £195.00

    “Nameless, faceless… relentlessly moving towards the date with death that would rock the world.”

    An original country of origin British UK quad film poster from the original year of release 1973 for Fred Zinnemann’s terrorist thriller “The Day of the Jackal”. The movie is based on the best-selling novel by Frederick Forsyth which sees a lone sniper tasked with the assassination of French President Charles De Gaulle and it it this the image of Charles De Gaulle reflected in the assassins eye (Edward Fox as the titular Jackal) that provides some remarkable pencil drawn imagery in Michael Leonard’s impressive artwork featured on the UK quad movie poster; a very cleverly designed piece. Originally folded (as issued) it displays and presents to very good effect. A marvellous looking poster that certainly impresses and is scarce in this unrestored condition. A hugely collectable and sought after film poster that represents a fine example of original British movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: A so-called “explosive bullet” does not contain any explosive material. It is drilled through the center, a drop of mercury is put inside, and the tip of the bullet sealed. When the bullet hits an object the mercury maintains its velocity, flying through the drilled channel and impacting the tip of the bullet from the inside. This causes the bullet to fragment.

  • The Fog Movie Poster

    The Fog

    £275.00

    “Bolt Your Doors. Lock Your Windows. There’s something in The Fog !”

The original movie poster offered here is from first year of release, 1980 and displays to excellent effect. Originally folded (as issued) it is presented in unrestored condition with only minimal handling wear. Great horror imagery on a genuinely rare cult classic from the Carpenter archives that represents extremely desirable and collectable movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Although this was essentially a low budget independent movie, John Carpenter chose to shoot the movie in anamorphic widescreen Panavision. This decision gave the movie a grander feel for the viewer so this didn’t seem like a low budget horror movie.

  • The-People-That-Time-Forgot-Movie-Poster

  • The Warriors Movie Poster

    The Warriors

    £695.00

    “These are the Armies of The Night. They are 60,000 strong. They outnumber the cops three to one. They could run New York City. Tonight they’re all out to get the Warriors”

    Walter Hill’s hugely successful 1979 New York gang culture feature “The Warriors” is rightly regarded as a cult movie proving a hit with both critics and the movie going public. This original British quad is the alternative black and white style, which in my opinion makes it so much more striking than the full colour version – it suits the overall feel of the movie better and the bright red of the title is so much more vibrant. Drawing parallels to Greek Themes, this Walter Hill film about a gang that must travel thirty miles to make it home after being framed for murder has achieved cult status over the years for its memorable depiction of gangs and unique approach to portraying events from the street gang’s point of view. Offered unrestored and presented in very good folded (as issued) condition it displays and presents to excellent effect. This is a scarce film poster, that is genuinely hard to find that represents a fine piece cinema memorabilia for one of the great action thrillers of the 1970’s.

    Trivia: The iconic “Warriors, come out to play” scene was completely improvised by David Patrick Kelly after he felt the scripted scene wasn’t working. Walter Hill told him to just “come up with something”. Kelly gathered up some empty beer bottles he found under the boardwalk and created the intimidating dialogue. Kelly later revealed that he based it on a neighbour who used to intimidate him.

  • Time After Time Movie Poster

    Time After Time

    £145.00

    “Imagine! A scientific genius named H.G. Wells stalks a criminal genius named Jack the Ripper across time itself, in the most ingenious thriller of our time…”

    One of the best time-travel romps ever made and a personal favourite for a bit of me time “Time After Time” sees inventor and writer H.G. Wells pursue the notorious London serial killer Jack the Ripper through time from Victorian England to late 1970’s San Francisco. The British UK quad film poster that accompanied its release is a clever design from first year of release, 1979 and features a stop watch transforming into a digital clock and a top hat and tails attired Wells’ taking on the appearance of a 1970’s attired man. Originally folded (as issued) this excellent unrestored example displays superbly with only minimal age and handling wear that represents a fine item of collectable film movie memorabilia.

    Watch the extended trailer for Time After Time HERE

    Trivia: A deleted scene featured Wells meeting a punk who was playing extremely loud boom-box music on a bus in San Francisco. Nicholas Meyer later reused this idea in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986).
