  Con Air

  £125.00

  “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.

  Total Recall

  £195.00

  “How would you know if someone stole your mind ?” 

  Arnold Schwarzenegger’s and Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 sci-fi ultra-violent actioner “Total Recall” produced one of the most distinctive film posters of Schwarzenegger’s impressive career. Designed by the Seiniger Advertising agency it features a bright blue close up of Arnold’s face, offset against an outer space filled background and the mysterious ‘Pyramids of Mars’. A clever adaption of the Philip K. Dick short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” and  one of the cinematic high points for both Schwarzenegger and Verhoeven with physical special effects that have stood the test of time well. It’s a tough poster to find in high grade condition as any blemishes show up easily (especially on folded examples) because of the dark colours used. That is not the case here as this originally rolled (as issued) example displays to excellent effect and represents a truly outstanding and scarce item of highly sought after movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: When Ronald Shusett and Dan O’Bannon first started working on the screenplay for this movie back in the 1970s, they realized that the movie would probably be too expensive and difficult to make (by the standards of special effects and budget at the time). They delayed working on the story and instead worked on an idea O’Bannon had about a space monster terrorizing a spaceship crew. This became Alien (1979).
