  • Point Break Movie Poster

    Point Break

    £225.00

    “27 banks in three years. Anything to catch the perfect wave!”

    Any paper for Kathryn Bigelow’s 1991 crime actioner “Point Break” is highly sought after. It is such a super stylish and cool heist movie that is much loved by a huge fanbase. This original British one-sheet is a great looking film poster featuring not just the two male leads – Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves but also number of action scenes from the movie. Originally folded (as issued) this looks and displays to excellent effect with minimal handling wear. A scarce, original collectable item of cinematic movie memorabilia for one of the best ‘buddy-movies’ of recent years with some of the greatest extreme action shots ever filmed.

    Trivia: The film was originally called “Johnny Utah” when Keanu Reeves was cast in the title role. The studio felt that this title said very little about surfing, and by the time Patrick Swayze was cast, the film had been renamed Riders on the Storm after the famous song by The Doors. However, the lyrics had nothing to do with the film, and so that title was also rejected. It was not until halfway through filming that “Point Break” became the film’s title, because of its relevance to surfing.

    “27 banks in three years. Anything to catch the perfect wave!”

  • Prince of Darkness Movie Poster

    Prince of Darkness

    £225.00

    “Before man walked the earth…it slept for centuries. It is evil. It is real. It is awakening.”

    “Prince of Darkness” sees John Carpenter not just in the director’s chair, he wrote the soundtrack and also the screenplay under the pseudonym Martin Quatermass, which is a direct homage to Bernard Quatermass, the lead character in Hammer’s film and TV series that started with The Quatermass Experiment and that features several elements in common with Carpenter’s story. The film is the second in what the director calls his ‘Apocalypse Trilogy’ that started with The Thing (1982) and ended with In the Mouth of Madness (1994) and is the result of Carpenter’s interest in theoretical physics and atomic theory as well as the idea of an ultimate evil or ‘anti-god’ combined with the physics-based concept of matter and anti-matter. Carpenter always a well regarded and popular film maker has enjoyed a huge renaissance in more recent years so it was no surprise that this title was one of four seminal movies by the director re-released by Studio Canal in 2018, remastered in 4K, with the others being “They Live”, “Escape From New York” and “The Fog”. All four movies had a strictly limited cinematic release and were accompanied a newly designed poster campaign (quads and one-sheets) by leading artist Matt Ferguson. Ferguson’s unique artistic style is evident throughout the four, each with its very own unique colour palette. A number of these full-size 30″ x 40″ UK quad styles were also released as a limited edition art print by Vice Press. Identical to the cinematic quad, in fact exactly the same – same paper, printer etc these were issued as timed releases each signed and hand-numbered by Matt Ferguson. Offered here is one of these signed art prints numbered #48 from a print run of only 184. Originally rolled (as issued) it presents in excellent condition. A cool, cult poster that represents very collectable & desirable original film memorabilia from one of the greatest and most influential director’s who is still actively working in the film industry.

    Trivia: John Carpenter claims to have been fascinated with religion ever since watching the old Hammer horror films and how Holy Water would destroy vampires.

    Prince of Darkness

    £225.00

    “Before man walked the earth…it slept for centuries. It is evil. It is real. It is awakening.”

    This is the British quad for the release of John Carpenter’s 1987 horror “Prince of Darkness”. As well as being in the director’s chair, Carpenter wrote the soundtrack and also the screenplay under the pseudonym Martin Quatermass, which is a direct homage to Bernard Quatermass, the lead character in Hammer’s film and TV series that started with The Quatermass Experiment and that features several elements in common with Carpenter’s story. The film is the second in what the director calls his ‘Apocalypse Trilogy’ that started with The Thing (1982) and ended with In the Mouth of Madness (1994) and is the result of Carpenter’s interest in theoretical physics and atomic theory as well as the idea of an ultimate evil or ‘anti-god’ combined with the physics-based concept of matter and anti-matter. The original 1987 UK quad film poster for John Carpenter’s “Prince of Darkness” offered here was originally rolled (as issued) & presents in original unrestored condition with great horror imagery, strong colours and deep unfaded black background. This imagery of the screaming, disfigured face with the bug in its mouth, as well as the church and the oozing green liquid was used in the worldwide marketing campaign. A scarce poster in this high grade condition, that represents very collectable & desirable original film memorabilia from one of the greatest and most influential director’s ever working in  the sci-fi / horror / action genre.

    Trivia: Screenwriter John Carpenter is credited as “Martin Quatermass”. The pseudonym is a homage to Professor Bernard Quatermass, the lead character of The Quatermass Experiment (1953) and several subsequent TV series and film versions. In the original press notes he was described as ‘the brother of Professor Bernard Quatermass, head of the British rocket programme.’ In a further nod to Carpenter’s influences, the character Wyndham is named after science-fiction author John Wyndham and Anne Howard‘s character is named after the star of The Wasp Woman (1959), Susan Cabot.

  • Punisher-War-Zone-Movie-Poster

    Punisher: War Zone

    £75.00

    “VENGEANCE HAS A NAME”

    Taken on its own terms, “Punisher: War Zone” is everything it is supposed to be: excessively violent, larger than life, fast paced, and almost always loads of fun. War Zone doesn’t take itself seriously and it doesn’t ask the audience to do so. Firmly established as Marvels darkest and most controversial ‘hero’ it would be fair to say that The Punisher is probably best known and enjoyed by American, European and Far East fanboys than those in Britain and although heavily promoted in said areas the British release was fairly limited, with the movie being shown in only a handful of cinemas. Meaning that the accompanying film poster is genuinely scarce, which is a real shame as both LA & Ignition creative design agencies have collaborated to produce a real stand out poster for the UK quad design. This original 2008 UK quad film poster is very dark & very moody and printed on a heavy stock paper with a matt finish that only enhances the dark shadowy  tones further. A real ‘peach’ of a Punisher poster. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks and displays to excellent effect with impressive gritty artwork that represents a fine piece of collectible ‘comic book’ cinema movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: After this film, the live action film rights to the Punisher reverted back to Marvel Studios. Ray Stevenson would later appear in another Marvel production, produced by Marvel Studios this time, as Volstagg in the Thor film series.

  • Quatermass and the Pit Movie Poster

    Quatermass and the Pit

    £2,250.00

    “A Force more powerful than 1,000 H-Bombs unleashed to devastate earth ! World in panic ! Cities in flames !”

    A beautiful and incredibly rare country of origin UK quad film poster and one of Hammer’s best for Roy Ward Baker’s 1967 supernatural alien invasion thriller “Quatermass and the Pit”. Tom Chantrell’s magnificent detailed artwork; heaving bosoms, London aflame in ruins, glittering spaceships, martian devils is stunning…A personal favourite and featured in Marcus Hearn’s excellent book “The Art of Hammer”. Folded (as issued) with strong vibrant colours this totally original unrestored investment grade example from first year of release 1967 presents superbly and is a very rare example of country of origin Hammer Horror memorabilia and one of the best movie posters produced from one of their finest and most respected productions…“You realise what you are implying? That we owe our human condition here to the intervention of insects”

    Trivia: When Dr. Quatermass is picking at the eyeball of the dead Martian creature in his laboratory, the pupils of the compound eye are a rectangular slot shape rather then round like a human eye. This is reminiscent of a goat’s eye, a creature that, for centuries, has been associated with witchcraft and sorcery.

    Requiem for a Dream

    £155.00

Incredible artwork by NB Studio has produced one of the best looking film posters of recent years; a truly brilliant looking example of modern poster design for Darren Aronofsky’s intense drug addiction drama “Requiem for a Dream”.

This rare original 2000 UK quad film poster is a great example of modern poster design and artwork; memorable imagery and bold use of colour (the blue used in the “eye” is really piercing)…Originally rolled (as issued) this beautiful example displays to excellent effect and represents a fine piece of original collectable film memorabilia.

    Trivia: Darren Aronofsky shot the film like a hip-hop montage (a sequence of extremely short shots) to get the sense of overwhelming addiction and loss of control. An average 100-minute film contains 600 to 700 cuts; this one contains over 2,000.

  • Reservoir Dogs Movie Poster

    Reservoir Dogs

    £195.00

    “Listen kid, I’m not gonna bullshit you, all right? I don’t give a good fuck what you know, or don’t know, but I’m gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It’s amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I’ve heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain’t gonna get.”

    “Reservoir Dogs” has become a classic of independent film making and a cult classic being named “Greatest Independent Film of all Time” by the highly respected film magazine, Empire. This Japanese B2 combines the ‘Let’s go to work’ imagery and the highly sought after Marc Zaref artwork from the Cannes Film Festival one-sheet. From first year of release in Japan, 1993 this rolled (as issued) example displays and presents to excellent effect in original & unrestored condition. Tarantino paper is particularly sought after and this scarce poster represents a fantastic opportunity to obtain a truly high grade item of collectible original film poster memorabilia.

    Trivia: In the commentary track on the True Romance DVD, Quentin Tarantino says that Tony Scott read both the “True Romance” and “Reservoir Dogs” scripts, and told Tarantino he wanted to direct “Reservoir Dogs”. Tarantino told him he could have “True Romance”, but that he himself was going to direct “Reservoir Dogs”.

  • Robocop Alternative Movie Poster

    Robocop

    £195.00

    “Part man. Part machine. All cop. The future of law enforcement.”

    Based upon Rob Bottin’s iconic ‘robo’ suit design Paul Mann produced the perfect alternative movie poster to complement his graphics. A truly striking image for Paul Verhoeven’s ultra violent sci-fi masterpiece “Robocop” that is perfectly suited to the portrait format of this edition. Robocop is offset against a colourful background of supporting characters and action imagery, that are made to stand out when placed in front of the black background. It gives a depth that gives an almost 3D effect to the colour imagery. Printed by Mad Duck in 2022 this limited edition art print is hand-numbered #47 from a print run of 200. This excellent example presents and displays near perfectly and represents a fantastic piece of collectable movie memorabilia from one of the defining movies of the 80’s. The ‘original’ & BEST, “Robocop” is fondly remembered and spawned a popular TV show, two sequels and was recently remade as a ‘big budget’ CGI sci-fi actioner…“I’d buy that for a dollar !”

    Trivia: The repeated line “I’d buy that for a dollar!” comes from Cyril M. Kornbluth‘s short story “The Marching Morons”, which presents a similarly cynical view of an over-commercialized future that’s desensitized to violence and war. A radio game show in that short story uses the line “I’d buy that for a quarter.” as its signature phrase.
