  • Bronx Warriors Movie Poster

    Bronx Warriors

    £195.00

    “In the year 1990, the Bronx is officially declared No Man’s Land. The authorities give up all attempts to restore law and order. From then on, the area is ruled by the Riders.”

    Enzo G. Castellari’s New York City set, post apocalypse romp “Bronx Warriors” is rightly regarded as a true cult movie B-Movie. This original 1982 British quad certainly isn’t subtle, it’s all action, grabbing your attention immediately and is a fantastic example of how a talented artist can produce imagery that’s far superior to the movie you are going to be watching. The artist is Brian Bysouth, one of the most prolific artists of his generation and a true master when it comes to capturing the essence of what a movie poster should be. Coming from Bysouth’s personal archive, this has been hand signed by the artist to the bottom right area. Offered unrestored and presented in high grade (as issued) condition it displays and presents to excellent effect. This is a scarce film poster, that is genuinely hard to find that represents a fine piece cinema memorabilia for a much loved cult movie.

    Trivia: The movie has been considered a cross between The Warriors (1979), Mad Max 2 (1981) and Escape from New York (1981).

  • Class of 1984 Movie Poster

    Class of 1984

    £175.00

    “Look at us. We are the future. You can’t stop us. Don’t even try.”

    1980’s exploitation at its very best…Mark Lester’s 1982 offering “Class of 1984” has gone on to become a true cult classic. Based around the ultra-violent students of Lincoln High it is a time capsule snap shot of a totally different generation; Mad Max meets The Sex Pistols is the tone and look and the poster that accompanied the release echoes this. The original UK quad offered here is from 1982  & looks incredible, an almost flawless example of a very hard to find poster. Originally folded (as issued). The artwork is impressive (The artist is unknown which is a shame because this is a great example from the 80’s). The bright colours of the outrageous costumes are deep and unfaded and background a bright unfaded white. It is a great looking poster perfectly attuned to the feel and look of the movie & the times. Very rare and hard to find in such excellent original unrestored condition. This example displays superbly and represents an extremely collectable piece of original 1980’s cinema memorabilia.

    Trivia: Mark L. Lester said the film was inspired by several true stories of school violence he had read about in papers. In particular, was a story of a teacher who brought a gun to class to control his students, the scene ended up in the film.

  • The Crow Alternative Movie Poster

    Crow, The

    £195.00

    “In a world without justice, one man was chosen to protect the innocent.”

    “The Crow” is an excellent tragic film made even more tragic by the real life tragedies surrounding the film (Brandon Lee’s death during filming, and the fact that the story is a result of James O’Barr’s personal loss of his fiancée). Based on a very dark comic book, the film has the same dark feel and that same dark feel is very much in evidence in this excellent alternative movie poster by Paul Mann. This hand-numbered (#79/150) Saniose variant printing really is superb with Mann perfectly capturing the character – in likeness and tone with the coloured inks, separated by Saniose an incredible finishing touch. This is an impressive screen print that has to be seen in person as the photographs really don’t do it justice. Originally rolled (as issued) this magnificent example represents a hugely collectable item of movie memorabilia from a truly iconic cult movie.

    Trivia: Even though the movie, based on the comic, is called ‘The Crow’, none of the birds used in the film were actually crows. All of them were in fact ravens, which are much larger than crows and have a longer, more impressive beak.

  • Dead Zone Movie Poster

    Dead Zone

    £175.00

    “In his mind, he has the power to see the future. In his hands, he has the power to change it.”

    Original UK Quad film poster for DavidCronberg’s 1983 sci-fi, horror, thriller “The Dead Zone”. Stephen King’s bestseller (his first to hit #1 and still one his most successful) is stylishly brought to the cinema screen by Cronenberg. Renowned for the more gory, body horror approach to film making, this is very much a clever and restrained adaption – and in my opinion is far better for it. Taking inspiration from one of the key scenes in the movie, British advertising agency FEREF have created an eye-catching design for the UK marketing campaign poster (imagery that is actually unique to the UK). Folded (as issued) this stunning example displays to excellent effect (probably unused). It represents a very high quality piece of Cinema memorabilia from a truly groundbreaking, influential film maker and the most successful American writer in history.

    Trivia: This movie doesn’t explain the meaning of the phrase Dead Zone like the book does. Stephen King was going off old theories that people only use 10% of their brains, and that we haven’t even unlocked the secrets of the other 90%; and that when Johnny was in his coma his brain had to create new pathways to get around the paralyzed part of his mind. So new pathways were created in the Dead Zone, that 90% that people normally don’t use; and this enabled him to develop powers of ESP and second sight.

  • DUNE Movie Poster

    DUNE

    £395.00

    “It is a world where sandworms 1,000 feet long guard creation’s greatest treasure – the spice that prolongs life. And enables the mind to fold space and slow time. Where a prophecy will be fulfilled. And a young leader with incredible powers will emerge to command an army of five million warriors in the final battle for control of a universe and its source of ultimate power. The planet called Dune.”

    Much like Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” released two years earlier, David Lynch’s “Dune” (1984) received lack-lustre reviews and a poor box-office return on its initial release. Jump forward to today and “Dune” is now regarded as a genre defining masterpiece with a loyal and devoted fanbase. The poor box-office resulted in any associated cinema advertising material being junked and disposed of, making any paper highly desirable  and collectable appealing not only to film fans but fans of the bestselling Frank Herbert novels. This original British UK quad film poster from 1984 features the beautiful and distinctive ‘two moons’ artwork. Originally rolled, as issued to the cinema this superb example displays to excellent effect being presented in totally unrestored high grade condition that represents a fantastic piece of scarce original sci-fi movie memorabilia for an incredible looking movie.

    Trivia: The total number of production crew came to 1,700. This movie required eighty sets built on sixteen soundstages. More than six years in the making, it required writer and director David Lynch‘s work for three and a half years.

  • Fantastic Voyage UK Film Poster

    Fantastic Voyage

    £1,895.00

    “A Fantastic And Spectacular Voyage… Through The Human Body… Into The Brain.”

    A rare, original UK quad film poster from original year of release 1966 for “Fantastic Voyage”, featuring some truly impressive artwork and design by Tom Beauvais. Beauvais’ use of strong, bold colours and all-action imagery is impressive and particularly desirable as it was only ever used for the British release. One of the most inventive science fiction epics of the 1960s, Richard Fleischer directed Raquel Welch and the rest of the miniaturised cast on an adventure inside the human body. Originally folded (as issued) and now presented conservation linen backed. The backing has been completed to a very high standard and this standout piece now appears rolled. A personal favourite, and an extremely collectable and rare film poster from a superior sci-fi adventure with ground breaking special effects that is still regarded as a highly regarded classic.

    Trivia: A now defunct thrill ride at Disney’s Epcot Center, called “Body Wars”, was largely inspired by this movie, even though it is not a Disney movie. Director Richard Fleischer, however, also directed Disney’s first science fiction movie, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954).

  • First Men in the Moon Alternative Movie Poster

    First Men In The Moon

    £275.00

    “H.G. Wells’ Astounding Adventure in Dynamation!”

    Nautilus Art Prints wanted to pay tribute to H. G. Wells, so, we asked the talented French duo Stan & Vince to create a poster for a H. G. Wells title of their choice and they came up with “The First Men in the Moon”. Who better than Science Fiction comic book artists to tackle a science fiction novel and much loved Ray Harryhausen movie. Their rendition is truly beautiful and their sense of detail, composition, texture and use of colour is just wonderful. Visually influenced by the 1964 film adaptation in their version, the men use spacesuits, which wasn’t the case in Wells’ original novel. Signed and hand-numbered (219/300) by the artists this is an amazing nine ink screenprint by l’Atelier Vertical, Brussels, Belgium that presents to superb effect and represents an outstanding modern art interpretation of a science fiction classic.

    Trivia: It was Nigel Kneale’s idea to frame the Wells story within a modern-day flashback following a moon landing in the 1960s. (The actual moon landing had not happened when the film was made; it occurred in 1969). Ray Harryhausen credited Kneale’s idea with giving the film an extra kick which everyone felt it needed to hook a modern audience.
