  Universal Soldier

  £125.00

  “The ultimate weapons of the future have just declared war… on each other.”

  One of the great action movies of the 90s, Roland Emmerich’s “Universal Soldier” saw genetically modified super soldiers (did I mention they’d been brought back from the dead?) Jean-Claude Van Damme Damme and Dolph Lungren battle it out in a series of spectacularly choreographed action set-pieces. Originally rolled (as issued) this eye-catching one-sheet film poster presents and displays to excellent effect and represents a truly desirable piece of sci-fi, action cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: The idea of the eyepieces that the Universal Soldiers wear in the movie was borrowed from Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). In that series, The Borg, humans and other alien species that have been assimilated into cyborg creatures wear eyepieces. In the film, the Universal Soldiers are deceased soldiers who have been reanimated and brought back as cyborg commandos.

  War of the Worlds

  £595.00

  “They came to CONQUER the EARTH !”

  The quintessential science fiction film; George Pal’s “War of the Worlds” – with original 1953 paper for the title some of the most sought after and expensive whenever it comes to market (that’s not very often). Re-released many times since its 1953 debut, and beautifully re-imagined here on this 2014 alternative movie poster by Stan and Vince. It’s a fantastic image using the ‘Flying Saucer’ artwork that was originally used on the 1953 Style B US half sheet poster as the Martian ‘Death Ray’ destroys the city. This hand-numbered (#5/150) fine art print has been printed using glow in the dark green inks for the title and flying saucer detailing. Originally rolled (as issued) it displays and presents to excellent effect. Immediately selling out on release in 2014 this is a very sought after and desirable item, that rarely comes to market and represents a fine example of rare and collectable sci-fi movie memorabilia from a true classic of the genre.

  The artists Stan and Vince had this to say about the commission – “Byron Haskin’s War of the Worlds was released 62 years ago, and even though we weren’t around at the time, this movie was made for us. We KNOW it! Byron Haskin had to know that his movie was to be aired decades later in front of our 80s teenage eyes, printing powerful, everlasting images in our brains. We’re pretty sure he also knew that Mondo was going to ask us to work on a poster for this movie! To recapture the taste and flavor of H.G. Well’s story put in those glorious fifties frames and make people hear the sizzling sound of the saucers’ deadly death rays.
  That’s the magic we wanted to have in this poster. We wanted to put viewers back in the theatre seats where they first saw the movie, in the frame with the hero as he watches the invaders coming into the city! We wanted this poster to feel the retro-style menace of the red planet.”

  Trivia: The estate of H.G. Wells was so pleased with the final production that it offered George Pal his choice of any other of Wells’ properties. Pal chose The Time Machine (1960).

  Willow

  £125.00

  “A world where heroes come in all sizes and adventure is the greatest magic of all“

  Largely due to the “Star Wars” effect and the huge global popularity of the “Dungeons & Dragons” role playing game, the 1980’s truly was the decade of the mystical sword and sorcery fantasy. Ron Howard’s’ “Willow” has stood the test of time well and is fondly remembered with a large and loyal fanbase. Boasting some amazing fantasy art for the British poster campaign by Brian Bysouth, (one of the most prolific and respected artists working in this field) this original 1988 UK quad for “Willow” certainly impresses. Scarce and hard to find in this high grade condition, this originally folded (as issued) example looks fantastic and presents in exceptional condition that represents a fine piece of hugely collectable original 80’s sci-fi fantasy movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: George Lucas specifically wrote this film for Warwick Davis after meeting him on the set of “Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983).”
