  • Conan the Barbarian Movie Poster

    Conan the Barbarian

    £150.00

    “Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure !”

    By Crom ! you will struggle find a nicer example of this classic Schwarzenegger film poster for sale. Stunning original 1982 British UK quad from Arnold Schwarzenneger’s break through role as Robert E. Howard’s “Conan the Barbarian”. Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Valeria (Sandahl Bergman) feature in beautifully painted artwork by highly acclaimed movie poster artist Renato Casaro. Presented in excellent unrestored, folded (as issued) condition. Totally bad-ass original cinematic movie memorabilia, “Conan The Barbarian” along with the original “Terminator” of 1984 and “Predator” (1987) are easily the greatest films that Arnold Schwarzenegger ever starred in, and is a sword and sorcery epic that outshines everything else in the field by far.

    Trivia: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sandahl Bergman did their own stunts, as suitable body doubles couldn’t be found.

  • Fire and Ice Movie Poster

    Fire and Ice

    £175.00

    “At the end of the ice age, an evil queen and her son are set on conquering the world using magic and warriors. The lone survivor of a crushed village fights back as does the king of Fire Keep.”

    “Fire and Ice” is a cult animated feature, based on characters co-created by Ralph Bakshi and legendary fantasy artist Frank Frazetta, and was made using the process of rotoscoping, in which scenes were shot in live-action and then traced onto animation cels. And it is from the first year of release, 1983 that this Frazetta illustrated original British UK quad is from. Impressive and exciting poster artwork promising everything that the award winning artist could offer – Frazetta is regarded as one of the greatest fantasy and science fiction artists of all time, noted for comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, LP record album covers and other media, with some examples of his painted original artwork selling for seven figures, making this film poster very good value for money. Presented in lovely unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition this is a marvellous item of 1980’s nostalgia and a great piece of original cinematic movie memorabilia

    Trivia: According to director Ralph Bakshi, the animators found working for producer Frank Frazetta to be so daunting that some of them even fainted when Frazetta visited the set.

  • Monster-From-The-Unknown-World-Movie-Poster

    Monster From The Unknown World

    £235.00

    “Now we’ll have some entertainment. Take him to the pit!”

    A scarce and beautiful example from a series of films financed and produced in Italy during the 1960’s and affectionately known as ‘sword and sandal’ dramas. “Monster From The Unknown World” (Atlas in the Land of the Cyclops) tells the story of strongman Maciste (for Maciste you could insert Samson, Hercules, Atlas etc) as he battles mythical beasts in the search for ancient justice. Camp (not necessarily the intention) and certainly of the time these series of films have developed a cult following and are particularly collectable. This original UK quad film poster for Antonio Leonviola’s “Monster From The Unknown World” is from first year of release 1961 and really is a stunning example of fantasy horror artwork which is unique to the British release. Very rare to find in such fine original unrestored condition; the colours are bright, vibrant & unfaded & really pop from the paper. This scarce, folded (as issued) unrestored example displays and presents to excellent effect and represents an extremely desirable piece of 1960’s British cinema memorabilia.
