“They somehow managed to get every creep and freak in the universe onto this one plane. And then somehow managed to let them take it over. And then somehow managed to stick us right smack in the middle.”
An all-action bombastic thriller as only the 1990s can deliver as Nicolas Cage heads up the Jerry Bruckheimer blockbuster “Con Air”. This, Face/Off (1997) and The Rock (1996) are considered by many Nicolas Cage fans to be his “holy trinity” of action films. Cameron Poe (Cage), has just been paroled for manslaughter, but must stop a group of violent and deadly criminals from escaping the country after they seize control of the prison transport plane he is on – get the popcorn ready and just enjoy. Cage is aided by FBI agent Vince Larkin (John Cusack) as they tackle the nemesis that is the delightfully named ‘Cyrus the Virus’ (played with real dark comedic menace by John Malkovich) and it is these three that feature on this original 1997 British quad. I personally think the character imagery is much better suited to this landscape format rather than the portrait style of a one-sheet. Offered in rolled (as issued) condition, this fine example presents to excellent effect with minimal of handling wear and represents a cool and eye-catching piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Jerry Bruckheimer and the other producers of this movie wanted to cast Nicolas Cage as Cameron Poe, from early on, and his dream became a reality because they were working on another movie together, The Rock (1996). During filming of the 1996 Michael Bay movie, Bruckheimer walked over to Cage’s trailer and handed him the “Con Air” script. Two days later, Cage called him and said the script was great and that he wanted to make the movie.

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.

“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.

John Huston’s “Victory” (Escape To Victory) has probably seen so much critical scorn it’s mind boggling. Is this movie Oscar material? Certainly not, but it’s a great film in many ways. It would be fair to say that this is most probably, the first real Football movie of its time. With stars like Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone on board, along with an array of football stars including the one and only Pele (featured, in all their glory by the artist, Jarvis) and a true gentleman of the sport – Bobby Moore, it is truly a classic. Some people say that the story is old hat, but I disagree. Even without the football it is a very solid War film. You don’t have to be a football fan to enjoy the film, any sports fan can relate to the story that is thrust upon you…It is the classic David and Goliath type battle with football being the medium. I can remember the first time I saw the film, the cinema erupted every time the prisoners scored a goal, that was the intensity of the movie. If you are not a football fan, this movie might just convert you. Originally rolled (as issued) this US half-subway poster (printed for use in New York) presents to excellent effect with fantastic Jarvis imagery of Caine, Stallone and Pele that perfectly suits the portrait format.
Trivia: Fate brought “Victory” to Stallone’s attention. In 1979, Stallone was looking to buy a beach house in Malibu, CA. One of the houses he looked at was owned by producer Freddie Fields. After Stallone looked over the house, he met Fields out on the sundeck to tell him that, unfortunately, the house was too small. Not to let a good opportunity pass, Fields began to tell Stallone the story of a new film he wanted to make entitled “Victory.” Fields happened to have an available script on him. Stallone was intrigued enough to to take the script home with him. Three days later, Stallone announced he wanted to play Captain Hatch in the movie.
