  The Warriors

  £695.00

  “These are the Armies of The Night. They are 60,000 strong. They outnumber the cops three to one. They could run New York City. Tonight they’re all out to get the Warriors”

  Walter Hill’s hugely successful 1979 New York gang culture feature “The Warriors” is rightly regarded as a cult movie proving a hit with both critics and the movie going public. This original British quad is the alternative black and white style, which in my opinion makes it so much more striking than the full colour version – it suits the overall feel of the movie better and the bright red of the title is so much more vibrant. Drawing parallels to Greek Themes, this Walter Hill film about a gang that must travel thirty miles to make it home after being framed for murder has achieved cult status over the years for its memorable depiction of gangs and unique approach to portraying events from the street gang’s point of view. Offered unrestored and presented in very good folded (as issued) condition it displays and presents to excellent effect. This is a scarce film poster, that is genuinely hard to find that represents a fine piece cinema memorabilia for one of the great action thrillers of the 1970’s.

  Trivia: The iconic “Warriors, come out to play” scene was completely improvised by David Patrick Kelly after he felt the scripted scene wasn’t working. Walter Hill told him to just “come up with something”. Kelly gathered up some empty beer bottles he found under the boardwalk and created the intimidating dialogue. Kelly later revealed that he based it on a neighbour who used to intimidate him.

  What We Do in the Shadows

  £295.00

  “Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav are vampires who are struggling with the mundane aspects of modern life, like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.”

  A superb and eye-catching alternative movie poster by Graham Humphreys’ for the cult dark comedy horror “What We Do in the Shadows”. Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement.created the clever idea of a family of vampires living together under the same roof and the struggles they encounter in modern day life. Each vampire housemate bears some resemblance to a past screen vampire – Nosferatu, David (Lost Boys),  Dracula (Gary Oldman), Edward (Twilight zone) and Louis fromInterview With the Vampire. And it’s these five who feature on this 2015 Hand-Numbered (#AP 39/40) Artist Proof print that has also been signed by the artist – Graham Humphrey. Presented in excellent unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition with amazingly vibrant colour tones that truly pop from the paper (the photo doesn’t do this justice)it almost appears to be painted. A super-cool piece of cinematic memorabilia and artwork.

  Trivia: The hill where the vampires have a run-in with the werewolves is the same hill filmed in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), where Frodo and the hobbits are running from the Black Rider and hiding under the roots of a tree.

  Wild at Heart

  Exclusive imagery only used for the British release for “Wild at Heart”, a stunning panoramic flame-filled landscape guaranteed to attract attention. Elvis fan Nicholas Cage (Sailor) sports mirrored shades and a snake skin jacket that the King would have been proud of as he blazes a trail in his Blue Thunderbird complete with girlfriend Laura Dern (Lula) courtesy of cult Director David Lynch. Rare original first release 1990 UK quad poster designed by The Creative Partnership for this surreal David Lynch classic. With beautiful deep colour tones (that pop from the paper) and memorable design this original 1990 UK film poster is extremely scarce and sought after. Although a photographic image the iconic ‘Wild at Heart’ logo is subtly inserted into the bottom right area of the poster. It looks stunning with the desirability of this scarce piece further enhanced as it is beautifully presented in near perfect, unrestored, rolled condition. an impressive and quality item movie memorabilia for a very rare and collectable film poster from one of Cinema’s most revered ‘cult’ directors.

  Trivia: The distinctive snakeskin jacket Sailor wears in the film was actually Nicolas Cage‘s own. Cage asked director David Lynch if he could wear the jacket in the film, as a tribute to Marlon Brando‘s role in The Fugitive Kind (1960). After filming was completed, Cage gave his jacket to Laura Dern.
