    True Romance

    £350.00

    “Stealing, Cheating, Killing. Who said romance is dead ?” 

    Featuring a multitude of highly detailed character and scene shots, you would expect no less from the talented artist Tyler Stout. This limited edition alternative movie poster lithograph from 2018. for Tony Scott’s 1993 all-star crime actioner “True Romance”…Written by Quentin Tarantino to raise the funds for Reservoir Dogs this hugely under-rated ‘heist/car chase’ film retains a truly loyal cult following.  Grey Matter Art are one of a handful of design/art studios  currently creating limited edition prints for classic and contemporary films, representing the most creative and visually striking art the medium has to offer. Offered here is Tyler Stout’s eye-catching interpretation which is limited to only 750 Prints – this example is hand-numbered #117 and signed by the artist. Long sold out (like the vast majority of the best alternative ‘Mondo’ movie posters) this originally rolled, flat-unfolded (as issued) example displays to exceptional effect that represents a truly outstanding and extremely desirable item of collectable movie memorabilia with a ‘modern’ twist.

    Trivia: Although this movie was not directed by Quentin Tarantino, it is still considered part of the Tarantino universe. The two key pieces of evidence, is Lee Donowitz being the grandson of Sergeant Donnie Donowitz from Inglourious Basterds (2009), this being confirmed by Tarantino. The second piece of evidence, is the fact that Mr. White from Reservoir Dogs(1992) mentioned working with a girl named “Alabama”.

  • Universal Soldier Movie Poster

    Universal Soldier

    £125.00

    “The ultimate weapons of the future have just declared war… on each other.”

    One of the great action movies of the 90s, Roland Emmerich’s “Universal Soldier” saw genetically modified super soldiers (did I mention they’d been brought back from the dead?) Jean-Claude Van Damme Damme and Dolph Lungren battle it out in a series of spectacularly choreographed action set-pieces. Originally rolled (as issued) this eye-catching one-sheet film poster presents and displays to excellent effect and represents a truly desirable piece of sci-fi, action cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: The idea of the eyepieces that the Universal Soldiers wear in the movie was borrowed from Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). In that series, The Borg, humans and other alien species that have been assimilated into cyborg creatures wear eyepieces. In the film, the Universal Soldiers are deceased soldiers who have been reanimated and brought back as cyborg commandos.

  • Where Eagles Dare Movie Poster

    Where Eagles Dare

    £1,295.00

    “They look like Nazis but…The Major is British…The Lieutenant is American…The Beautiful Frauleins are Allied Agents !”

    An exceptionally rare Indian Three-Sheet from 1969 (the first year of release in India) for Brian G. Hutton’s action packed World War II thriller “Where Eagles Dare” features artwork by C. Mohan based on the original design by Frank McCarthy. The cable car scene is one of the best remembered and most famous scenes from the film and all of the elements are the same, from Eastwood on the cable car to the Castle of The Eagle engulfed in flames in the background. Fans of Bollywood will know at least one of C. Mohan’s pieces as he designed the title for “Sholay”, which is widely considered the greatest Bollywood movie of all time. One of the most collected British action adventure war films ever produced, with the originally folded (as issued) example offered here being presented conservation linen-backed – it displays to excellent with colours that pop, thanks to the stone litho printing process. Of all the action / adventure films I deal with there is no doubt that “Where Eagles Dare” appears to have an incredible fan base and this superb poster represents a fine piece of original movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: The driving force behind this movie was Richard Burton‘s stepson, who wanted to see his stepfather in a good old-fashioned adventure movie. Burton approached producer Elliott Kastner for ideas, who asked Alistair MacLean. At that time, most of MacLean’s novels had either been made into movies, or were in the process of being filmed. Kastner persuaded MacLean to write a new story. Six weeks later, MacLean delivered the script.
