One of the best Richard Gere images you will see is Eric Pulford’s country unique (British) artwork for the 1983 UK quad movie poster for “Breathless”. To be fair both Gere and co-star Valerie Kaprisky (her first and only US starring role) look pretty good. The original 1983 UK quad movie poster offered here is from first year of release and displays and presents to excellent effect. Originally rolled (as issued) the colours are bright and unfaded and Pulford’s imagery dramatic and exciting. With hardly a defect of note this beautiful rolled unrestored film poster is in investment grade condition and a fine example of rare and collectable original movie memorabilia.

“At the end of the ice age, an evil queen and her son are set on conquering the world using magic and warriors. The lone survivor of a crushed village fights back as does the king of Fire Keep.”
“Fire and Ice” is a cult animated feature, based on characters co-created by Ralph Bakshi and legendary fantasy artist Frank Frazetta, and was made using the process of rotoscoping, in which scenes were shot in live-action and then traced onto animation cels. And it is from the first year of release, 1983 that this Frazetta illustrated original British UK quad is from. Impressive and exciting poster artwork promising everything that the award winning artist could offer – Frazetta is regarded as one of the greatest fantasy and science fiction artists of all time, noted for comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, LP record album covers and other media, with some examples of his painted original artwork selling for seven figures, making this film poster very good value for money. Presented in lovely unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition this is a marvellous item of 1980’s nostalgia and a great piece of original cinematic movie memorabilia
Trivia: According to director Ralph Bakshi, the animators found working for producer Frank Frazetta to be so daunting that some of them even fainted when Frazetta visited the set.

Largely due to the “Star Wars” effect and the huge global popularity of the “Dungeons & Dragons” role playing game, the 1980’s truly was the decade of the mystical sword and sorcery fantasy. Filmed at Pinewood Studios, largely using the same staff and crew that had previously worked on James Bond and Star Wars, Peter Yates’ “KRULL” has stood the test of time well and is fondly remembered. Boasting some of the best fantasy art seen on a movie poster by Josh Kirby this original 1983 UK quad for “KRULL” certainly impresses. Scarce and hard to find in this high grade condition, this originally folded (as issued) example looks fantastic and presents in exceptional condition that represents a fine piece of hugely collectable original 80’s sci-fi fantasy movie memorabilia.
Trivia: A hand that could physically transform into a “Changeling Claw” was developed for the movie, but due to time constraints could not be developed in time and was not used in the film. The piece later was completed for Tobe Hooper‘s movie Lifeforce (1985).

“He was Tony Montana. The world will remember him by another name…SCARFACE”
One of the greatest and most influential gangster movies of all time and this 2022 limited edition art print by Matt Ferguson and Florey is one of the best alternative movie posters produced for Brian De Palma’s “Scarface”. Hand-signed by both artists this artist proof edition released by Vice Press features a key scene from the movie as Tony Montana sits brooding in his darkened study awaiting the violent and bloody onslaught he knows is coming with the rug cleverly illustrated to resemble a river of blood. A fantastic example of highly desirable movie memorabilia, that’s very cool and looks incredible.
Trivia: The international corporation set up by Saddam Hussein to launder money from his various enterprises was called Montana Management after the Scarface (1983) main character.

For the 40th Anniversary 2023 re-release of the George Lucas sci fi classic sequel “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” Lucasfilm issued this amazing British one-sheet featuring the artwork of Matt Ferguson, the hugely successful artist responsible for some of the most memorable recent Marvel cinematic releases and the award winning, fan favourite 40th Anniversary design for ‘Empire Strikes Back’. This ‘updated’ style features some of the best imagery from this instalment from the original trilogy with Luke Skywalker (now a Jedi Knight) and like many of the 1980 posters a dominant Darth Vader and the iconic scout walkers. Presented here in original unrestored condition this beautiful 2023 double-sided, rolled (as issued) example has deep unfaded vibrant colour tones and displays to excellent effect with the minimal of handling wear. With an extremely limited cinematic release in both the UK & USA this is a truly scarce poster and highly sought after. As this is the American release it carries the tagline ‘Returns to Theatres April 28′. Already firmly established as a fans favourite this impressive item represents a fine addition for any collector of original movie posters or Star Wars fan memorabilia.
Trivia: A reason for filming under the guise of non-descript horror movie title, “Blue Harvest” was partly to put off any snoopers, and also because the production found out that if they mentioned they were working on the next Star Wars movie, suppliers would automatically ramp up their prices, assuming that money was no object for Lucasfilm.

“After rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, the Rebel Alliance attempts to destroy the second Death Star while Luke struggles to help Darth Vader back from the dark side.”
This is the first printing of the original release British quad – the earlier version omitted several characters and these were added later. With an updated design by Feref Associates based upon Josh Kirby’s original artwork for the 1983 British release of “Return of the Jedi”. This revised version was produced to be more in keeping with the US campaign by Kazu Sano, it’s darker in feel and now features the Ewoks. Extremely desirable and scarce in the high grade condition offered here, it really is superb and most likely unused. Totally original and unrestored folded (as issued) condition. A fantastic example of original Star Wars cinematic movie memorabilia from what was the defining chapter of the Original Trilogy.
Trivia: It took six people to work the full-sized animatronic of Jabba the Hutt. The puppet fit three men inside -two to operate the arms, head and tongue and another to move the tail. A man lying below the puppet pulled strings to move Jabba’s mouth and make his sides heave. And two radio operators controlled the slimy goon’s eyes, including pupil dilation, direction and wideness of eyelids. A final crew member was responsible for rubbing gel on the puppet to give Jabba his slimy look.

“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 Empire Falls…”
For the third chapter of the original Star Wars trilogy “Return of the Jedi” Lucasfilm successfully chose a number of internationally acclaimed artists to present a varied series of designs for the Worldwide advertising campaign. One of the most revered was the Yamakatsu issued Style B Japanese B2 by the prominent Star Wars artist Noriyoshi Ohrai. Titled ‘Starfall’ . For the 40th Anniversary the imagery was licensed by the US clothing brand Kith and used to promote their exclusive collection of adults and kids’ apparel, along with commemorative accessories. You could only obtain one of these posters if you attended the launch event at the New York City store. Larger than the original B2s and with the ‘Return of the Jedi’ added these are incredibly sought after by collectors. Ohrai’s beautiful illustration is widely regarded as one of the best of any ‘Star Wars’ posters and is hugely desirable. Presented here in unrestored rolled (as issued) condition this amazing example looks magnificent; deep unfaded vibrant colours that truly ‘pop’ from the paper. A stunning poster that is genuinely very, very scarce and a must have addition for any Star Wars fan or movie poster collection from what was (until 2015) the defining chapter in the Star Wars original trilogy.
“You have that power too Leia. 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: Takes place 5 years before The Mandalorian (2019).

The third entry in the Salkind’s ‘Superman’ canon sees Richard Lester’s more comedic action touch as Christopher Reeve again dons the red cape in the 1983 release “Superman III”. Humour is largely provided by an excellent over the top performance (in reality just playing himself) by comic genius Richard Pryor as computer genius Gus Gorman. And it is Reeve and Pryor who feature prominently on this British UK quad film poster. The colourful all-action design sees Superman in full flight smashing his way to defeat the ‘villain’ Gus’ ‘super-computer’ Gorman From first year of release (1983) this rare folded (as issued) example displays and presents to excellent effect with only very minimal handling wear. Beautiful artwork and vivid unfaded colours this is an exceptional unrestored example of very collectable original movie memorabilia.
Trivia: According to Ilya Salkind, an earlier version of the script included the comic book villains Brainiac and Mr. Mxyzptlk teaming up, and Superman meeting his cousin, Supergirl, which would lead to the potential Supergirl spin-off.

“First it controlled her mind, then it destroyed her body… Long live the new flesh!”
David Cronenberg’s surreal masterpiece Videodrome is certainly a complex and disturbing piece of cinema that gained a cult following & was backed by a series of excellent and effective film posters to accompany its Worldwide promotion and distribution. The distinctive unique to Britain UK quad film poster was designed by Red Square with finished art by Harry Wilson and features an eye catching deep red background with Debbie Harry (Nicki) imagery acting as the focal point. The original 1983 Videodrome movie poster offered here is presented in excellent unrestored folded (as issued) condition with minimal handling wear, no pinholes and bold unfaded colours. It displays superbly and represents a fine piece of original film memorabilia from a truly ground breaking and respected director.
Trivia: Andy Warhol called the movie “A Clockwork Orange (1971) of the 1980s.”
