  Akira

  £165.00

  “The shadow of a man can never stand up and walk on its own.”

  A panoramic, widescreen film poster for Katsuhiro Ôtomo‘s groundbreaking adult animation epic…“Akira”. An action packed, award winning, hugely influential offering as we visit a dystopian future society set in Neo Tokyo, Japan. Presented in original unrestored, rolled(as issued) condition this beautiful 2020 UK quad film poster is for the remastered 4K release and features striking anime imagery. A rare film poster and a truly great find due to the very limited cinematic release in art-house and small independent cinemas. Presented in excellent condition, colours (particularly the deep red background) are deep and unfaded with some truly stunning and memorable imagery. This fine example represents a fantastic piece of very collectable and desirable original movie memorabilia that will appeal to Anime/Manga fans or those just looking for something very special to hang on their wall.

  Trivia: The shot of Kaneda’s bike sliding to a stop away from the camera in the opening bike chase sequence is considered to be the most referenced shot in animation. Homages appear in such shows as Teen Titans, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Star Wars: Clone Wars, Samurai Jack, Batman: The Animated Series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Adventure Time, The Simpsons, and even Pokémon.

  The Wild Geese

  £125.00

  “The Dogs of War. The Best **** Mercenaries in the Business !”

  The late 1970’s is generally regarded as a ‘golden’ age for explosive action movies at the cinema and in 1978 three of the greatest, hard drinking actors of their generation were signed up to star in Andrew V.McLaglen’s British actioner “The Wild Geese”. Released at a time to be considered politically incorrect it never achieved the success or praise it richly deserved but has since gone on to be a firm favourite with fans of gritty action genre films. The artwork of the original 1978 movie poster has been adapted here to complement the 2025 4K Remastered release and once again offers some exceptional character driven artwork by Arnaldo Putzu of Roger Moore, Richard Harris, Hardy Kruger and Richard Burton against an eye catching golden backdrop that really accentuates Putzu’s imagery. Originally rolled (as issued) with minimal handling wear this beautiful film poster represents a truly outstanding example of rare and collectable original movie memorabilia from one of the best British action films of the late 70’s. These posters are unique to the UK and extremely scarce and used only to promote the very limited cinema screenings.

  Trivia: Sir Roger Moore requested to have fewer lines in his scenes with Sir Richard Burton and Richard Harris. This kind of request was almost unheard of from a major star. His reasoning was, “You don’t seriously expect me to act against these guys?”
