  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.

  “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”.

  Easy Rider

  £995.00

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

  Rarely is a reissue poster more highly treasured than the original release, but this is “Easy Rider” one-sheet is one such title. In the 1969 campaign, the studio chose to play down the ‘biker flick’ theme, with only a daydreaming Peter Fonda in profile, no motorcycle insight. As the film was a chopper-thundering success, when paper for the re-release was launched in 1972, the studio showed no further hesitation, capitalising on the famous image of Fonda and Dennis Hopper rollin’ down the highway on their Harley motorbikes. Perhaps the best news for collectors and poster lovers alike is that they maintained the concept of the original poster, printing in the same soft yellow colour with the same soft-focus texturing. This allows the original and the reissue to be the perfect complement to each other. An absolute must-have example with an iconic design and use of bold colours (deep black and bright yellow in this case) which literally do ‘pop’ out from from the paper of this stunning original country of origin American poster. Originally folded (as issued) the example offered here has been professionally conservation linen backed to a very high standard and represents a hugely collectable and desirable example of cinema movie memorabilia for one of the defining cultural movies of the psychedelic 60’s appealing to film and motorcycle collectors alike…The ultimate ‘road’ movie !

  Trivia: During Jack Nicholson‘s “UFO” speech, Dennis Hopper was intent on getting him very stoned on marijuana. The laughing that eventually broke up his speech was not planned, and when Nicholson repeats the line “it . . . it . . . would be devastating . . . ” it was the next take. However, Nicholson was largely able to stick to the script as written, much to the crew’s amazement. This is a stark contrast to the other cast members, who improvised most of their lines.

  The Hustler

  £995.00

  “They called him “Fast Eddie”… He was a winner… He was a loser… He was a hustler.”

  Rarely is a reissue poster more highly treasured than the original release, but this is – “The Hustler” one-sheet is one such title. When this movie was first released, the studio seemed to want to hide that it was about “pool hustling”, and it was sold as being a romance, and there was little to no mention (or images) of pool on any of the first release 1961 posters. But when the movie was quickly re-released three years later in 1964, it had become an Academy Award winning classic, and learning from their mistakes, the new marketing campaign featured a striking stylised design – a pool cue with images of the actors within billiard balls set against a green baize background. An absolute must-have example with an iconic design and use of bold colours which literally do ‘pop’ out from the paper of this stunning original country of origin American poster. Originally folded (as issued) the example offered here has been professionally conservation linen backed to a very high standard and appears rolled. It represents a hugely collectable and desirable example of cinema movie memorabilia for one of the defining sports based movies ever made. A truly classic movie and poster.

  Trivia: All the pool shots in the movie are performed by the actors themselves (Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason) except one: the massé shot (cue ball sends two object balls into the same pocket), performed by Willie Mosconi.

  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.
