  Highlander

  £495.00

  “He fought his first battle on the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He will fight his greatest battle on the streets of New York City in 1986. His name is Connor MacLeod. He is immortal.”

  Does exactly what a fantasy movie is supposed to do! It lets your imagination run away with you. The Queen soundtrack (like their earlier “Flash“ Gordon) is fantastic. Sean Connery is of course ‘Sean Connery’ & wonderful in his part with Christopher Lambert perfectly cast as the untrained Immortal Connor MacLeod. Like many films that have reached a cult status it received a lukewarm reception (& that’s being kind) on its initial release resulting in very limited availability of the merchandising used to promote it especially the film posters. Offered here is a scarce one-sheet, unrestored, original country of origin (UK) film poster for Russell Mulcahy’s 1986 fantasy adventure “Highlander”. This superb originally rolled (as issued) example has a high gloss finish, deep, vibrant colours and stunning detailed Brian Bysouth sci-fi imagery. All making for an extremely desirable investment grade condition exceptionally scarce movie poster from a hugely influential movie that spawned numerous sequels, TV series’ & even a cartoon…One of the coolest poster’s from 1980’s and a fantastic piece of collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Queen originally intended to record only one song for this movie, but after viewing footage from the movie, they were inspired to write more. The band members each had a favorite scene and composed songs specifically for them. Brian May wrote “Who Wants to Live Forever” during the cab ride home after seeing the movie, and Roger Taylor used the line “It’s a kind of magic” as the basis for the end title song.

  Slave Girls

  £125.00

  “Behold a savage world where men are slaves to desire…and women are their demanding masters !”

  One of the most fun of all the famous (and infamous) Hammer productions and that’s not just because of the scantily clad prehistoric cave girls (with many on display here) but also a bright day-glo pink poster by Tom Chantrell for the 1967 release of Michael Carreras’ “Slave Girls”. Chantrell’s poster for the British marketing campaign was accompanied by an impressive front of house lobby card set of eight. The complete set (of eight cards) as offered here, contains some memorable imagery, in particular a great, shot of Martine Beswick, perfectly cast as the evil Queen Kari as she lounges on a bed animal skins. Extremely scarce as a complete set, these country of origin examples from first year of release 1967 are presented in totally original and unrestored, high grade condition. A Hammer movie that is a real personal favourite with me, with paper from it incredibly collectable.

  Trivia: Shot in only four weeks using sets and costumes from One Million Years B.C. (1966), in order to offset the earlier film’s cost of £140,000 pounds.
