    Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope

    £275.00

    “May The Force Be with You”

    A 1977 original year of release “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” complete set of eight (8) British front of house lobby cards. An incredible selection of instantly recognisable images – the major characters and key scenes are all featured – Luke (Mark Hamill) is seen on four, Han (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Obi Wan (Sir Alec Guinness), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), R2-D2 (Kenny Baker), C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) and of course Darth Vader (Dave Prowse) sharing two appearances each. The characters have become synonymous with the franchise, with each card extremely sought after with many collectors & fans. The desirability of a single card has meant that these sets are usually split up with very few complete sets rarely coming to market. Flat and unfolded (as issued) this beautiful set of lobby cards presents to excellent effect and represents a scarce and desirable piece of original Star Wars movie memorabilia from what has become one of the most collectable and popular modern movie franchises.

    Trivia: George Lucas‘ decision to accept a lower salary on the movie in exchange for full merchandising rights was considered a fool’s gamble on his part. Although some movie-toy combinations had done moderate retail returns at the time, they had never been major money-earners because of the long gap between when a movie would go through its theatrical run and when any products based on it would be available. This movie, however, was such a phenomenon that it reached the holiday 1977 sales period in full swing, and changed the way how movies were merchandised forever.

  • Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

    Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back

    £275.00

    “The Star Wars saga continues…”

    For the 1982 re-release of the George Lucas sci fi classic sequel “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” Lucasfilm issued this amazing one-sheet featuring the artwork of Tom Jung, the artist responsible for the original 1980 poster campaign. This ‘updated’ style features  some of the best imagery from the series with fantastic renditions of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, Yoda (firmly established as such an important and popular character to the series and sparingly used in the original campaign) and the iconic Imperial Walkers, all offset against a matt black background with silver detailing. Presented here in original unrestored condition this beautiful folded (as issued) example has deep unfaded vibrant colour tones and displays to very good effect. A fans favourite this impressive item represents a fine addition for any collector of original movie posters or Star Wars fan memorabilia.

    Trivia: In order to avoid sharing creative rights, George Lucas decided to avoid using a major studio to finance this movie. Instead, he bankrolled the $18 million production himself, using a combination of his profits from Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) and a bank loan. Although the move was risky, it paid off several times over. Lucas recovered his investment within three months of the movie’s release.

  • Stargate Alternative Movie Poster

    Stargate

    £195.00

    “Sealed and buried for all time is the key to mankind’s future.”

    A beautiful alternative movie poster by Paul Mann for Roland Emmerich’s sci-fi actioner with an Egyptian mythology twist “Stargate”. Superb artwork for this highly enjoyable romp, resulting in one of the best looking alternative movie posters for the title. Printed in 2023 by Mad Duck this ‘Black’ edition is hand-numbered #25 from a run of 250. Mann’s beautifully detailed artwork and outstanding characterisations, combines with a beautiful colour palette to create an art print that certainly impresses.

    Trivia: The stargate is a system designed to open a wormhole. A wormhole is a hypothetical way of space travel called an “Einstein-Rosen bridge”, named after scientists Nathan Rosen and Albert Einstein. According to them, the wormhole should be capable to unite two distant points in the universe, altering space-time laws to cross from a point to another in a brief period of time. The name “wormhole” compares the universe to an apple, with a worm boring through it to reach a point on the other side instead of crawling the long way around on the outside.

  • Starship Troopers Movie Poster

    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.”

  • Streets-of-Fire-Movie-Poster

    Streets of Fire

    £125.00

    “Tonight is what it means to be young…”

    After making his buddy cop hit “48 Hours” Walter Hill directed a film that was inspired by the movies he grew up on. It was a wild homage filled with the kinds of images and themes he loved most about those movies such as: “custom cars, kissing in the rain, neon, trains in the night, high-speed pursuit, rumbles, rock stars, motorcycles, jokes in tough situations, leather jackets and questions of honor.” What Hill created was “Streets of Fire” (1984) a 1980’s meets retro 1950’s musical-action-crime-comedy B-movie epic. The film stars Michael Pare as Tom Cody an ex-soldier who returns to his home to rescue his ex-girlfriend, a singer named Ellen Aim (Diane Lane) from the clutches of evil biker gang leader Raven Shaddock (Willem Dafoe). The music (heavily influenced by Meatloaf’s guru Jim Steinman) featured in the film also reflected the odd 1950’s meets the 1980’s backdrop with its diverse rockabilly, doo-wop, blues and New Wave sounds…Even though “Streets of Fire” didn’t do well when it was released, over the years it has developed a cult following because of its unique qualities. The colourful eye catching poster art by Riehm for the film reflects the furiously stylised aesthetic that was used to tell the rock n’ roll  fable of love ! Originally rolled (as issued) this beautiful unrestored 1984 US one sheet film poster presents superbly and represents a fine piece of original very collectable movie / music memorabilia…“A Rock ‘n’ Roll Fable !”

    Trivia: The car that Cody (Michael Pare) drives in the movie is a 1951 Mercury that was chopped, channelled, nosed, and decked.

  • Teen Wolf Movie Poster

    Teen Wolf

    £195.00

    “He always wanted to be special… but he never expected THIS!”

    Original 1985 UK Quad movie poster for the best movie poster Michael J. Fox made, that isn’t “Back to the Future”, Rod Daniel’s teenage angst comedy with a werewolf twist “Teen Wolf”. With artwork by Lucinda Cowell, I personally feel it displays far better in the landscape format of the UK quad than the equivalent one-sheet. Originally rolled (as issued – uncommon with this title) this fantastic looking poster displays to excellent effect with lovely deep, unfaded colours. A great piece of 1980s nostalgia, presented in near perfect condition for one of cinema’s best loved stars.

    Trivia: Scott Howard’s (Michael J. Fox‘s) house was located on the same block as 1955 George McFly’s and 1955 Lorraine Baines’ houses from Back to the Future (1985).

  • Terminator 2: Judgement Day Movie Poster

    Terminator 2: Judgement Day

    £395.00

    “He Said He’d Be Back…and He Certainly is !”

    Sci-fi movies can rarely be made in such way that can be looked at as works of art. This is one of the few exceptions. The prediction of judgment day with Hamilton watching a playground full of kids be burnt to the ground is an absolute brilliant portrayal of Armageddon. The theme that men will destroy themselves is also shown throughout the movie also and is even said by The Terminator…“It’s in your nature to destroy yourselves”. This brings the movie to a whole new level of sci-fi and one of the most sought after of titles by collectors of the genre and Schwarzenegger’s vast legion of fans. Offered here is a scarce large format Japanese B1 movie poster (equivalent to a standard one-sheet) for James Cameron’s sci-fi, time travel, shoot ’em up uber-actioner “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”. This example is often referred to as the ‘Smoke’ version featuring Schwarzenegger’s Terminator emerging from the smoke. In a design that’s unique to Japan the largely black and white imagery features Arnie’s eyes finished in a blazing red, leaving you in no doubt he is a Terminator. One of the most influential film of the past 25+ years with ground breaking CGI special effects and spectacular action set pieces. A very hard film poster to find in this fine unrestored rolled (as issued) condition that represents an impressive and stylish item of original cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Given Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s US $15 million salary, and his total of seven hundred words of dialogue, he was paid $21,429 per word. “Hasta la vista, baby” cost $85,716.
