  Highlander

  £495.00

  “He fought his first battle on the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He will fight his greatest battle on the streets of New York City in 1986. His name is Connor MacLeod. He is immortal.”

  Does exactly what a fantasy movie is supposed to do! It lets your imagination run away with you. The Queen soundtrack (like their earlier “Flash“ Gordon) is fantastic. Sean Connery is of course ‘Sean Connery’ & wonderful in his part with Christopher Lambert perfectly cast as the untrained Immortal Connor MacLeod. Like many films that have reached a cult status it received a lukewarm reception (& that’s being kind) on its initial release resulting in very limited availability of the merchandising used to promote it especially the film posters. Offered here is a scarce one-sheet, unrestored, original country of origin (UK) film poster for Russell Mulcahy’s 1986 fantasy adventure “Highlander”. This superb originally rolled (as issued) example has a high gloss finish, deep, vibrant colours and stunning detailed Brian Bysouth sci-fi imagery. All making for an extremely desirable investment grade condition exceptionally scarce movie poster from a hugely influential movie that spawned numerous sequels, TV series’ & even a cartoon…One of the coolest poster’s from 1980’s and a fantastic piece of collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Queen originally intended to record only one song for this movie, but after viewing footage from the movie, they were inspired to write more. The band members each had a favorite scene and composed songs specifically for them. Brian May wrote “Who Wants to Live Forever” during the cab ride home after seeing the movie, and Roger Taylor used the line “It’s a kind of magic” as the basis for the end title song.

  Starship Troopers

  £125.00

  “The only good bug is a dead bug…Forget the insecticide, bring on the nukes !”

  Fantastic sci-fi imagery for this eye-catching movie poster for a war movie with a difference…it’s set in the future and we’re fighting giant bugs. Paul Verhoeven’s chest thumping actioner “Starship Troopers” is a true ‘marmite’ film; you either love the no holds barred over the top spectacularly gory action or you hate the simple plot and stiff as a board acting. With an eye-catching design that teases the giant bugs, as you see just their deadly claws in the foreground with a colonial marine running headlong to do battle with it – all against the backdrop of an alien planet. From original year of UK release 1997 this excellent rolled (as issued) one-sheet presents and displays near perfectly and represents a fantastic piece of original collectable movie memorabilia from what is undoubtably a great sci-fi action movie (one of the first to utilise and effectively use CGI technology) which is fondly remembered and spawned a popular TV show & three big screen sequels.

  Trivia: Most of the arachnids appearing on film are CGI but a few life-sized, robotic models were built. However, during the battle scenes, the actors mostly wound up looking at director Paul Verhoeven himself who would stand in front of them and jump and scream, even chasing them with a broom in an attempt to generate some of the fearsomeness of a 12-foot space ant. Clancy Brown, who played Sgt. Zim, affectionately described the director as “a nutbag”, given to “jumping up and down with a bullhorn going, ‘I’m a big fucking bug! I’ll kill you!’ I loved him; he was so much fun.”
