  Beverly Hills Cop

  £150.00

  “He’s been chased, thrown through a window, and arrested. Eddie Murphy is a Detroit cop on vacation in Beverly Hills”

  Original country of origin 1984 US One-Sheet Movie Poster for the Eddie Murphy blockbuster “Beverly Hills Cop”. Great imagery of Murphy lounging on a bright red Mercedes SL convertible (the top car of the early 80’s) parked on Rodeo Drive. Originally rolled (as issued) this fine example looks and displays to excellent effect with minimal handling wear with artwork perfectly suited to the portrait style format. Without a doubt this film sums up the 80’s perfectly with a ‘feel-good’ vibe that makes for a very collectable piece movie memorabilia that looks very very cool !

  Trivia: During his tirade at the Beverly Palms Hotel, Axel pretends to be writing an article called “Michael Jackson: Sitting on Top of the World” for “Rolling Stone” magazine. In real life, “Playboy” ran an article called “Eddie Murphy: Sitting on Top of the World.”

  Trading Places

  £275.00

  “They’re not just getting rich… They’re getting even.”

  Directed by John Landis and starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, “Trading Places” is one of the strongest comedies of the 1980s and stands as some of the best work for the main participants. With impressive artwork by Adrian Purkis the film poster that accompanied the release is a very clever design and one of the most memorable and best of the comedy genre. The original 1983 UK (British) one sheet movie poster offered here was originally folded (as issued) & presents in excellent unrestored condition with great colours and outstanding artwork. A very rare poster and genuinely scarce in this British portrait format that represents a highly very collectible & desirable original film memorabilia from a film lauded as a modern comedy classic and poster artwork that is such great fun!

  Trivia: In 2010, as part of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act, which was to regulate financial markets, a rule was included which barred anyone from using secret inside information to corner markets, similar to what the Duke brothers tried to do in the movie. Since the movie inspired this rule, it has since become known as the Eddie Murphy Rule.
