“The world’s greatest leader is a hostage in the most dangerous place on Earth. Now only the deadliest man alive can save him.”
You probably couldn’t find better movie from the 1980’s that introduces such an iconic cult character in Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken (criminally only used in one more movie) or sums up the period quite like John Carpenter’s quintessential sci-fi actioner “Escape From New York”. Carpenter always a well regarded and popular film maker has enjoyed a huge renaissance in more recent years so it was no surprise that this title was one of four seminal movies by the director re-released by Studio Canal in 2018, remastered in 4K, with the others being “They Live”, “Prince of Darkness” and “The Fog”. All four movies had a strictly limited cinematic release and were accompanied a newly designed poster campaign (quads and one-sheets) by leading artist Matt Ferguson. Ferguson’s unique artistic style is evident throughout the four, each with its very own unique colour palette. A number of these full-size 30″ x 40″ UK quad styles were also released as a limited edition art print by Vice Press. Identical to the cinematic quad, in fact exactly the same – same paper, printer etc these were issued as timed releases each signed and hand-numbered by Matt Ferguson. Offered here is one of these signed art prints numbered #48 from a print run of only 231. Originally rolled (as issued) it presents in excellent condition. A cool, cult poster that represents very collectable & desirable original film memorabilia from one of the greatest and most influential director’s who is still actively working in the film industry.
Trivia: The model of the city set was repainted and reused for Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner.

Incredibly rare and much sought after original 1981 UK quad film poster for Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead”. Raimi’s original cult classic is probably one of the better zombie / supernatural movies ever made, becoming legend with the horror genre shocked audiences around the world and became a phenomenon. Lead actor Bruce Campbell is put through a continually escalating series of horrific encounters that allow him to show the full extent of his talent for slapstick comedy. Palace (Video) Pictures bought the rights to distribute the film and commissioned up and coming horror artist Graham Humphreys to design the quad and video artwork. Released in cinemas and on VHS almost simultaneously the modest outlay for the rights to distribute the film proved to be an excellent deal as it went on to see great box-office takings and thousands of tapes sold, but also resulted in making these theatrical posters a real rarity. Designed to look slightly distressed, this originally ROLLED (as issued) British UK quad film poster is from first year of release, 1981 that displays & presents very well. A great looking piece of horror art that represents an exciting and scarce country unique British piece of original horror film movie memorabilia.

The Harry Potter series of films is without doubt the biggest movie franchise of recent years with merchandise and memorabilia from the “Harry Potter” series very sought after and collectable. In the UK Crew Creative Advertising were commissioned for the film poster advertising campaign for the hotly anticipated sequel “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”. The sequel introduced one of the franchises most beloved characters; “Dobby , the House Elf”. And it was Dobby who featured on the first Advance Teaser UK quad film poster with the the foreboding warning for Harry…“Dobby has come to warn you Sir”. One of the best and certainly one of the scarcer Harry Potter posters; this style hardly ever shows up and is a great find in this high grade condition. This original country of origin UK quad film poster from 2002 has been beautifully produced with a high gloss finish which only adds to the overall effect and ‘wowness’. Originally rolled (as issued) this fine example is guaranteed original and presents superbly and represents is a fine piece of genuinely rare original Harry Potter and movie memorabilia.

These changes would continue throughout the franchise, with each movie getting darker and increasingly desaturated.

A return to fun and adventure for Steven Spielberg’s 1989 sequel “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. This original UK quad ‘The man with the hat is back. And this time, he’s bringing his Dad.’ style is the only one out of the marketing campaign to use just photography – and it’s a marvellous image of the two leads Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. Originally rolled, as issued to the cinema this superb example displays to fine effect being presented in totally unrestored condition and represents a fantastic piece of original movie memorabilia for an incredibly popular and well loved series of films.
Trivia: Sir Sean Connery was always Steven Spielberg‘s first choice to play Indiana Jones’ father, as an inside joke to say that James Bond is the father of Indiana Jones. If that had failed, Gregory Peck and Jon Pertwee were back-up choices for the role. Spielberg had always wanted to do a Bond movie, but did Indiana Jones as a James Bond-type character. In keeping with the James Bond theme, the movie has many Bond movie co-stars: John Rhys-Davies, Alison Doody, Julian Glover, Stefan Kalipha, Pat Roach, Eugene Lipinski, Michael Byrne, and Vernon Dobtcheff.
