  • Apocalypse Now Movie Poster

    Apocalypse Now

    £295.00

    “You don’t talk to Colonel Kurtz…You listen to him.”

    A personal favourite and quite simply a stunning film poster for Francis Ford Coppola’s multi award winning Vietnam war epic “Apocalypse Now”. There is no doubting the influence and impact of Coppola’s 1979 masterpiece with any paper hugely desirable and the German A1 film poster offered here is no exception. This design was created by Bob Peak featuring an outstanding close up image of a shaven headed Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) offset against a dark black background…truly memorable imagery for Coppola’s voyage into the ‘Heart of Darkness’. Peak’s campaign artwork for Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now is widely regarded as one of the great and most iconic poster designs, winning an Award of Excellence from The Society of Illustrators in 1980. So it was no surprise that in 2021 when Mondo issued a remastered screenprint licensed by Zoetrope Productions with production and colour separations handled by Jason Edmiston, Jon Smith, Shane Mahn and Peak’s son Alex, it sold out immediately. From a hand-numbered edition of 425, this is #335. Originally rolled (as issued) with an amazing colour palette this outstanding example presents and displays to excellent effect and represents a beautiful alternative movie poster from one of the finest film’s ever made…“Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that”

    Trivia: Filming, originally scheduled for six weeks, took 16 months.

    Apocalypse Now

    £255.00

    “Why would a nice guy like you want to kill a genius? Why? Because they told you he was crazy? The Colonel is not crazy. The man is clear in his mind, but his soul is mad.”

    Trivia: John Milius explained how he had come up with the title “Apocalypse Now”. Apparently, this was derived from a very popular tattoo among the hippie community of a peace sign that said “Nirvana Now”. Milius, by adding just a couple of extra lines, edited the peace symbol to make it look like a circle with a B52 bomber in the middle, and changed the slogan to “Apocalypse Now”.

    Apocalypse Now

    £50.00

    “I’ve seen horrors… horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that… but you have no right to judge me. It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror… Horror has a face… and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared.”

    There is no doubting the influence and impact of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 masterpiece “Apocalypse Now” with any paper hugely desirable and the original US lobby card offered here is no exception. This lobby card (#3) is the only one from the set of eight to feature Marlon Brando, and it is a fantastic close up image of him as a shaven headed Colonel Kurtz.

  • Bullitt Alternative Movie Poster

    Bullitt

    £225.00

    “When some rare Chicago blood starts spilling in San Francisco, they give BULLITT the mop. They weren’t exactly doing him a favour. But they’ve done a great big one for you.”

    The King of COOL just got a lot cooler as presented here by Graham Humphreys on this beautiful limited edition Artist Proof alternative movie poster from 2018, undoubtedly one of the best Steve McQueen images. His performance as tough cop Frank Bullitt cemented his iconic movie star status. This excellent example displays and presents to excellent effect with only the very minimum of handling wear, the colours are strong and the graphics and design exceptional. I personally don’t think there is one ‘bad’ poster from the artist and although he is most famous for his horror offerings this break from the norm piece is quite exceptional. Signed by Humphreys in pencil he has also hand-numbered this limited edition Artist Proof of only 10 produced. This beautiful alternative movie poster print represents a fine item of highly desirable movie memorabilia for a true screen and cultural legend.

    Trivia: According to Peter Yates, Steve McQueen made a point to keep his head near the open car window during the famous chase scene so that audiences would be reassured that it was he, not a stunt man, who was driving,
