  • Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Movie Poster

    Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

    £175.00

    “Have the adventure of your life keeping up with the Joneses”

    A return to fun and adventure for Steven Spielberg’s 1989 sequel “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. This original advance ‘He’s back in an all new adventure. Memorial Day 1989’ US one-sheet movie poster features the artwork of Drew Struzan, who has perfectly captured the likenesses of the lead character – Indiana Jones as played by Harrison Ford. 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.

  • Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Movie Poster

    Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

    £195.00

    “If adventure has a name…it must be Indiana Jones.”

    Darker and more serious in tone and content than its predecessor. Bruce Wolfe’s beautifully rendered artwork certainly reinforces that trait for Steven Spielberg’s 1984 prequel / sequel “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”. This original country of origin US one-sheet movie poster highlights the titular archaeologist hero as a beacon of light surrounded by darkness. Originally flat and unfolded as issued to the cinema this superb example displays to excellent effect being presented totally unrestored high grade condition. Often seen as the “weakest” of the franchise (not so in my book) this is considerably rarer than posters from the other films in the series and represents a fantastic piece of scarce original movie memorabilia for an incredibly popular and well love film franchise.

    Trivia: While filming the whipping scene, the crew played a practical joke on Harrison Ford. While he was chained to a large stone, Barbra Streisand appeared, dressed in a leather dominatrix outfit. She proceeded to whip him, saying “That’s for Hanover Street (1979), the worst movie I ever saw.” She continued whipping him for Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977), and making all of that money. Carrie Fisher then threw herself in front of Ford to protect him, and Irvin Kershner chided director Steven Spielberg. “Is this how you run your movies ?” This entire sequence was filmed.

    Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

    £195.00

    “If adventure has a name…it must be Indiana Jones.”

    Darker and more serious in tone and content than its predecessor. Spiros Angelikas’ cleverly designed ‘Trust Him’ taglined poster certainly reinforces that aspect for Steven Spielberg’s 1984 prequel / sequel “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”. This original country of origin Advance teaser US one-sheet movie poster highlights the titular archaeologist hero bathed in a red (blood red ?) light surrounded by a dark black embossed patterned border. Originally rolled, as issued to the cinema this superb example displays to excellent effect being presented in totally unrestored high grade condition. Often seen as the ‘weakest’ of the franchise (not so in my book) this is considerably rarer than posters from the other films and is genuinely hard to find in this format and represents a fantastic piece of scarce original movie memorabilia for an incredibly popular and well loved series of films.

  • Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Movie Poster

    No One Can Stop the Reign

    It’s not often I get a poster in that makes me go WOW ! especially a recent offering. Well this original 2024 UK quad for Wes Ball’s “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is such a poster. The franchise, from its original 1968 beginnings through to the Matt Reeves reboots is a personal favourite of mine and this poster is truly one of the best I have ever seen. The composition, detailed, intricate design by creative arts agency LA & Ten30 Studios is superb. The colours are stunning, deep & unfaded. The “Planet of the Apes” premise is considered one of the pivotal sci-fi movies series’ ever made and this is a worthy addition to the canon that represents a magnificent piece of film poster art.

  • Masters of the Universe Movie Poster

    Masters of the Universe

    £695.00

    “A battle fought in the stars, now… comes to Earth.”

    A beautiful, Dolph Lungren autographed limited edition art print (hand-numbered #14/40) by artist Chris Barnes (also known as Brutal Posters) showing highly detailed depictions of the assortment of characters from Gary Goddard’s fantasy adventure “Masters of the Universe” (1987). The close-up image of Skeletor’s face in the top left corner is particularly striking, finished in soft shades of purple, which contrasts against the rest of the design. This alternative movie print from 2020 has been autographed by He-Man himself – Dolph Lungren, who also added his character name and the annotation I Have the Power.” The poster was signed in the USA at Galaxycon, Richmond on 24th-26th March and is accompanied by a full letter of authenticity. A fantastic item of hugely collectable pop-culture memorabilia.

    Trivia: Many viewers of the film commented on actress Meg Foster‘s eerily effective contact lenses which gave her character Evil-Lyn a sinister and unearthly air. Actually she wore no contact lenses. Her eyes naturally have blue/grey irises and tiny pupils, giving her a striking appearance. She has often been cast in sci-fi/fantasy roles because of them and jokes that she appeals to casting directors as she brings her own special effect with her for free.
