  • Catwoman Alternative Movie Poster

    Catwoman

    £245.00

    “Penguin, Joker, Riddler and Catwoman, too ! The sum of the angles of that rectangle is too monstrous to contemplate !”

    Released in 2014 as the third instalment of The Art of Ken Taylor through Mondo. This screenprint depiction of Julie Newmar as Catwoman is stunning and a great tribute to the Feline Femme Fatale. It captures the seduction Newmar brought to the character while conveying the light-hearted feel of the beloved 1960s Batman TV series. This is the Regular orange background edition which is hand-numbered #124 out of 275 and signed by the artist. I am a huge Batman fan (all incarnations) and this is one of my favourite Batman posters, a great fun item and a fantastict item of collectable memorabilia from an icon of modern pop culture.

    Trivia: Originally planned as the pilot film for the Batman (1966) TV series, the movie was instead produced between the show’s first and second seasons. The producers took advantage of the larger budget to have a number of new Bat-gadgets constructed, such as the BatBoat.

  • Cool Hand Luke Alternative Movie Poster

    Cool Hand Luke

    £295.00

    “He was smiling… That’s right. You know, that, that Luke smile of his. He had it on his face right to the very end. Hell, if they didn’t know it ‘fore, they could tell right then that they weren’t a-gonna beat him. That old Luke smile. Oh, Luke. He was some boy. Cool Hand Luke. Hell, he’s a natural-born world-shaker.”

    An impressive and eye-catching item from the hand of master illustrator – Paul Mann,  for the classic Paul Newman prison chain gang drama “Cool Hand Luke”. This stunning alternative movie poster features a beautiful image of Newman (dressed in prison fatigue double denim) along with the outstanding supporting cast in the background with Boss Godfrey (Morgan Woodward) one of the most prominent – He never removed the sunglasses throughout nor spoke a word and became known as ‘the man with no eyes’ one of the most significant and memorable characters from the Film. Hand-Numbered #69 from a print run of only 100, this originally rolled (as issued) example looks and displays to excellent effect. Unquestionably one of Newman’s finest roles, in a motion picture that has become near legendary and (rightly so) this modern re-imagining represents a highly collectable piece of artwork and a rare item of movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Two hundred hard-boiled eggs were provided for one of the film’s most famous sequences. Due to clever editing, Paul Newman only ate about eight altogether. The rest were consumed by the cast and crew, which led to extreme cases of flatulence the next day.

    “They destroyed everything he had, everything he was. Now, crime has a new enemy and justice has a new face.”

    An original 1990 US one-sheet movie poster for Sam Raimi’s comic book inspired ant-hero “Darkman”.

Lead actor, Liam Neeson (in his first starring role) plays the titular hero with real style and features prominently (albeit swathed in bandages) on the John Alvin designed US one-sheet offered here as he’s seen almost as a silhouette set against an explosive city backdrop. Totally unrestored, this rolled (as issued) example displays & presents to very good effect. A great looking piece of horror, comic book style artwork that represents a scarce piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.

  • Dirty Harry Movie Poster

    Dirty Harry

    £595.00

    When a mad man calling himself  ‘the Scorpio Killer’ menaces the city, tough as nails San Francisco Police Inspector Harry Callahan is assigned to track down and ferret out the crazed psychopath.

    The original UK quad film poster for “Dirty Harry” offered here is an extremely rare example from later 1971 with ‘red-style’ artwork that was only seen in the smaller independently owned cinemas in the UK provinces. This stunning original UK quad movie poster is based upon Bill Gold’s initial designs from the first release in early 1971 which had a bright white background; I personally think the RED is more appropriate and striking. Originally folded (as issued) this unrestored, totally original piece presents to excellent effect; the deep red background is truly vibrant with the other bold colours, deep & unfaded. Certainly the best example of this key poster I have ever seen, let alone have the pleasure to sell. Almost flawless in every way with only the very minimal handling and age wear…Clint Eastwood carved out a violent niche in the cinema with his portrayal of ‘Dirty Harry Callahan’ in this, the first in the popular series about a San Francisco detective who makes his own rules and this extremely scarce UK quad movie poster represents a fine piece of very collectable and desirable cinematic film memorabilia.

    Trivia: (At around ten minutes) In the bank robbery scene (At around ten minutes into the movie), Harry enters a burger joint across the street from the bank. Around the corner from the burger joint, the viewer can see a movie theatre marquee that lists Play Misty for Me (1971). Clint Eastwood starred in and directed that movie, which was the first theatrical movie directed by Eastwood.

  • Escape From New York Movie Poster

    Escape From New York

    £225.00

    “The world’s greatest leader is a hostage in the most dangerous place on Earth. Now only the deadliest man alive can save him.”

    You probably couldn’t find better movie from the 1980’s that introduces such an iconic cult character in Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken (criminally only used in one more movie) or sums up the period quite like John Carpenter’s quintessential  sci-fi actioner “Escape From New York”. 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”, “Prince of Darkness” 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 231. 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: The model of the city set was repainted and reused for Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner.

    Incredibly rare and much sought after original 1981 UK quad film poster for Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead”. Raimi’s original cult classic is probably one of the better zombie / supernatural movies ever made, becoming legend with the horror genre shocked audiences around the world and became a phenomenon. Lead actor Bruce Campbell is put through a continually escalating series of horrific encounters that allow him to show the full extent of his talent for slapstick comedy. Palace (Video) Pictures bought the rights to distribute the film and commissioned up and coming horror artist  Graham Humphreys to design the quad and video artwork. Released in cinemas and on VHS almost simultaneously the modest outlay for the rights to distribute the film proved to be an excellent deal as it went on to see great box-office takings and thousands of tapes sold, but also resulted in making these theatrical posters a real rarity. Designed to look slightly distressed, this originally ROLLED (as issued) British UK quad film poster is from first year of release, 1981 that displays & presents very well. A great looking piece of horror art that represents an exciting and scarce country unique British piece of original horror film movie memorabilia.

Pierce who came up with innovations such as the Monster’s flat head, the bolts through the neck, the droopy eyelids, and the poorly-fitted suit. Any future Frankenstein film that features any of these physical abnormalities is taking its inspiration from Pierce’s make-up work.
