“They told Jack Burton to go to hell…and that’s exactly where he’s going !”
John Carpenter’s wildly entertaining cult classic “Big Trouble in Little China” receives an extraordinary alternative treatment in this highly detailed limited-edition poster by acclaimed Thai artist Ise Ananphada. Her elaborate composition places Kurt Russell’s swaggering hero Jack Burton at its centre, surrounded by an astonishing collection of characters, creatures and memorable imagery drawn from the film.
Lo Pan looms above the design alongside the fearsome Three Storms, while Gracie Law, Wang Chi, Egg Shen and other familiar figures appear among Chinatown architecture, dragons, weapons, flames and supernatural symbols. Even Jack Burton’s beloved Pork-Chop Express and truck have been incorporated into the artwork. The result perfectly captures the film’s distinctive combination of martial arts, fantasy, action, comedy and ancient Chinese mythology.
The exceptional printing is every bit as impressive as Ananphada’s illustration. Produced using 18 coloured inks, the poster is further embellished with a glitter layer and blacklight-reactive neon inks. These specialist finishes add remarkable depth, texture and vibrancy, with selected elements taking on a dramatic new appearance when viewed under ultraviolet light.
This example is hand-numbered #10 from a strictly limited edition of only 265. It has been stored flat and unfolded and remains in superb original condition. With tremendous visual impact and outstanding production quality, this is a highly desirable display piece for collectors of John Carpenter, Kurt Russell, cult cinema and contemporary alternative movie-poster art.
Trivia: John Carpenter and Kurt Russell explain on the audio commentary that the test screening was so overwhelmingly positive, that both of them expected it to be a big hit. However, 20th Century Fox put little into promoting the movie, and it ended up being a box-office bomb. In addition, the film was released in the midst of the hype for Aliens (1986), which was released sixteen days afterwards. However, it went on to be a huge cult hit through home video. Carpenter and Russell explained that the reason the studio did little to promote the film, was because they simply didn’t know how to promote it.

A lot of Pesci’s unintelligible pained mutterings were his way to avoid cursing.

“UP THERE WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST”
Absolute cheese on a stick, but “Top Gun” proves that that’s not always a bad thing. This movie’s got everything – an arrogant prodigy who’d be out on his arse if he wasn’t so good, a sensible, uglier best friend, a love interest, an arch nemesis and his dumb sidekick, a few cool high fives and catchphrases, an emotional death scene, a euphoric victory scene and of course, some unforgettable action scenes, punctuated by a cracking soundtrack. What more could any red-blooded child of the eighties ask for ? Well, how about the film poster ? From 1986 comes this original UK Quad movie poster for one of the 1980s most loved blockbusters. Tom Cruise never looked slicker than featured here as Lt.Pete Mitchell or as he’s better known “Maverick”. Presented in excellent ROLLED (as issued) unrestored condition it displays to magnificent effect with great character/action imagery and vibrant colours. This poster doesn’t turn up in this high grade condition very often and like a lot of movie posters from the 80s very desirable & represents an outstanding example of original film movie memorabilia.
