“A White-Hot Juggernaut At 200 Miles Per Hour!”
Two separate sets of voluptuous women are stalked at different times by a scarred stuntman who uses his ‘death proof’ cars to execute his murderous plans, and that is represented here in this incredible alternative movie poster for Quentin Tarantino’s “Death Proof” by the modern maestro of horror artwork – Graham Humphreys. The characterisations are super realistic, layout and colours perfectly balanced and a near perfect example of a re-imagined poster. Released in 2023 as an exclusive Private Commission, this strictly limited Artist Proof edition is hand-numbered AP 1/5 and signed by the artist. Immediately selling out when launched, this originally rolled, flat-unfolded (as issued) example displays to exceptional effect and represents a truly outstanding and extremely desirable item of collectable movie memorabilia with a ‘modern’ twist.
Trivia: Jack Burton’s (Kurt Russell) tank top (white tank top with a Japanese Rising Sun and a Samurai) from Big Trouble in Little China (1986) can be seen hung up on the wall of the bar where the first segment of the film takes place. It is right above Jungle Julia,slightly to the right of the AMi Jukebox.

“One night is all that stands between them and freedom. But it’s going to be a hell of a night.”
A personal favourite movie and alternative movie poster by Rich Davies. Robert Rodriguez’ “From Dusk till Dawn” combines vicious violence, Cheech Marin vampires, and some funny dark humour from the cast into one big collective film. More than a basic horror movie, it shows Rodriquez as a fine director and Quentin Tarantino as a tight screenwriter who bring to the screen shoot em up vampire fun for the Pulp Fiction/Evil Dead devotees. A fantastic interpretation by Rich Davies for this grindhouse, horror-heist collaboration that perfectly captures the feel, look and attitude of the movie. Visual impact and artistic design are key aspects of any Tarantino/Rodriguez production and this beautiful example perfectly illustrates that fact, as a super-sexy Santanico Pandemonium (Salma Hayek) dominates the imagery. Absolutely stunning, the photograph really doesn’t do this example justice – being a giclee print (see below) the vibrant colours pop from the paper as this 2023 hand-numbered (#14/250) art print displays and presents to excellent effect and represents an amazing piece of cult cinematic movie memorabilia.

Trivia: Originally, Quentin Tarantino pitched this to John Travolta the same time as he was preparing to film Pulp Fiction (1994). Travolta was not interested in working on a vampire movie, and wanted to work on Pulp Fiction instead.
What is Giclee ?
Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.
The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.
Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

Originally included as an extra on the “From Dusk Till Dawn“ Collectors Series DVD before receiving a limited theatrical release, this is a genuinely scarce film poster.
