  Easy Rider

  £525.00

  “A man went looking for America. And couldn’t find it anywhere…”

  Striking example of perhaps one of the most memorable and recognisable film posters to come out of the 60’s…Dennis Hopper’s cult hugely influential motorbike road movie “Easy Rider”. Fantastic design and use of bold colours (deep black, bright yellow and red livery in this case) which literally do ‘pop’ out from from the paper of this stunning original British film poster. Beautifully rendered imagery of lead character Wyatt (Peter Fonda). Originally folded (as issued) this original unrestored UK quad film poster is from 1969 (first year of release in Britain) and is a very rare find in this high grade condition and represents a very collectable and desirable example of original film memorabilia for one of the defining cultural movies of the psychedelic 60’s appealing to film and motorcycle collectors…The ultimate ‘road’ movie !

  Trivia: Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda did not write a full script for the movie, and made most of it up as they went along. They didn’t hire a crew, but instead picked up hippies at communes across the country, and used friends and passers-by to hold the cameras, and were drunk and stoned most of the time.

  Easy Rider

  £125.00

  “They’ll talk to ya and talk to ya and talk to ya about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it’s gonna scare ’em.”

  Beautiful example with imagery that immediately identifies it and makes it instantly recognisable for Dennis Hopper’s cult hugely influential motorbike road movie “Easy Rider”.

Originally rolled (as issued) this original unrestored example is a great find in such high grade condition, as it is genuinely scarce due to the very limited theatrical release.

  The Warriors

  £595.00

  “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. Not just a country of origin example, this is a city-of-origin poster for this story of unrest in New York. This large format subway poster shows a series of opening dates in Manhattan. 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 colorful gangs and unique approach to portraying events from the street gang’s point of view. Artist David Jarvis has provided a strikingly simple design featuring a ‘group’ shot of the titular ‘Warriors’ that is a real favourite among collectors of the genre. Totally original and unrestored and presented in very good folded (as issued) condition it displays and presents to excellent effect. This is a scarce true first release, 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.

  The Warriors

  £895.00

  “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.
