“Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand. Wax on, wax off. Breathe in through nose, out the mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don’t forget to breathe, very important”
“The Karate Kid” was a huge box-office hit for John G. Avildsen when released in 1984, going on to launch a number of sequels, remakes (including a change of gender) and an incredibly popular and long running TV series “Cobra Kai”, which picks up the story in present day using nearly all the original cast. Any paper from the series is hugely collectable with the first release, 1984 country of origin, US one-sheet (as offered here) the most sought after. Like many film posters from the period it’s an early example of photo-shopping, which in this case really works well, with a silhouetted Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) the main focus as he is about the perform the iconic ‘crane kick’. Presented in excellent rolled (as issued) condition, it truly is superb and a marvellous item of collectable cinematic memorabilia from an extremely popular franchise.
Trivia: The yellow classic automobile that Daniel polishes in the famous “wax-on/wax-off” training scene, then later offered by Mr. Miyagi as Daniel’s birthday gift, was actually given to Ralph Macchio by the producer, and he still owns it. The car is a 1948 Ford Super De Luxe.

Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Ken Loach, “KES” is based on the 1968 novel “A Kestrel for a Knave”, written by Barry Hines. It is part of the kitchen sink realism movement that developed in Britain in the late 50s and early 60s. This movement focussed on those that were disillusioned with modern society, and on the domestic lives of working-class Britain. When re-released by the BFI in 1999 for the 30th Anniversary, graphic design agency The Farm was commissioned to create a new poster, and it’s fair to say it what he has produced surpasses the original. Exclusive to this British release it’s a stunning imagery sums up the feeling of isolation. The borrowed shorts typify the “done unto” theme for the young lad while attempting to add a touch of welcome understated humour to the poster – made more poignant by the fact that for David Bradley’s role in life humour was usually at his own expense or not at all. An incredibly scarce example of modern poster design, perfectly suited to the landscape format of the UK quad. Originally rolled (as issued) this superb example presents extremely well and represents a beautiful example of cinematic movie memorabilia from a film that remains a powerful study of school, family, strife and dreams ever made.
Trivia: KES (1969) has a 100% rating based on 32 critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

This movement focused on those that were disillusioned with modern society, and on the domestic lives of working-class Britain. When re-released in the 1970s the front of house lobby cards – full colour in the 1969 release were re-issued with a light blue sepia tone, which in my opinion is much better looking , giving a particularly striking effect that also makes David Dai Bradley’s signature (signed in black sharpie pen) really stand out. Bradley has signed with a very nice signature and has also added his character name – Billy. An outstanding card from the set as it features Billy (Dai Bradley) with his kestrel, KES. Originally flat and unfolded (as issued) this superb example presents extremely well and represents a beautiful example of cinematic movie memorabilia from a film that remains a powerful study of school, family, strife and dreams ever made.
This item was personally signed by David Dai Bradley when he was a guest at the London Film Fair on Sunday 22nd September 2024.

“A roaring rampage of revenge”
Quentin Tarantino’s 4th Film…“Kill Bill” is a bloody, revenge driven, martial arts epic. Released in 2003 it proved a huge success and much like previous Tarantino movie merchandising the film posters became very collectable. Designed by creative arts agency Empire Design the final release UK quad (as featured) immediately catches the attention. Vivid bright yellow is dominant in not only the poster background but in Uma Thurman’s (The Bride) leather flight suit. This original 2003 UK quad film poster is presented in excellent rolled condition and displays extremely well and as Tarantino has such a huge fanbase very desirable and because of a typically low print run very rare. As all Tarantino films are aimed for that more mature 18+ audience the merchandising budget isn’t what you would expect from a general release feature and as such nearly all the posters & promotional items produced are in very low numbers; making his memorabilia very collectable & scarce.
Trivia: The Bride’s yellow outfit was inspired by the outfit worn by Bruce Lee in his final film, Game of Death (1978).

Quentin Tarantino’s 4th Film…“Kill Bill” is a bloody, revenge driven, martial arts epic. Released in 2003 it proved a huge success and much like previous Tarantino movie merchandising the film posters became very collectable. Uma Thurman is not your normal bride and she is featured here expertly wielding her signature Katana sword on this stylish first year of release, 2003 Japanese B2 film poster with imagery that features both English and Japanese text – for me, this really fits the vibe of the movie. Offered in original rolled (as issued) condition, this super example presents to excellent effect with minimal of handling wear and represents a very cool and eye-catching piece of Quentin Tarantino movie memorabilia.

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.
Trivia: The first Planet of the Apes film to be filmed for IMAX.

Largely due to the “Star Wars” effect and the huge global popularity of the “Dungeons & Dragons” role playing game, the 1980’s truly was the decade of the mystical sword and sorcery fantasy. Filmed at Pinewood Studios, largely using the same staff and crew that had previously worked on James Bond and Star Wars, Peter Yates’ “KRULL” has stood the test of time well and is fondly remembered. Boasting some of the best fantasy art seen on a movie poster by Josh Kirby this original 1983 UK quad for “KRULL” certainly impresses. Scarce and hard to find in this high grade condition, this originally folded (as issued) example looks fantastic and presents in exceptional condition that represents a fine piece of hugely collectable original 80’s sci-fi fantasy movie memorabilia.
Trivia: A hand that could physically transform into a “Changeling Claw” was developed for the movie, but due to time constraints could not be developed in time and was not used in the film. The piece later was completed for Tobe Hooper‘s movie Lifeforce (1985).
