  • Gremlins Movie Poster

    Gremlins

    £95.00

    “Cute. Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous.”

    An excellent example for one of the best comedy horror films ever made…“Gremlins”. Written by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter, The Goonies) and directed by Joe Dante it was a huge box office hit. Re-released by Warner Bros. in 2019, recognising the fact that the movie has now become a classic ‘Christmas’ movie with Gizmo dressed in a Santa hat set against a Snow White background with the landscape format of the British UK quad perfectly suited to his design. Originally rolled (as issued) this 2019 film poster presents and displays very well. Totally original and unrestored this hard to find modern re-release of an important 80’s movie is becoming more and more sought after and represents a great collectable piece of original film movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Zach Galligan recounted in an interview that when the movie was made, there was no CGI, so all of the Gremlins were animatronics, each costing between $30,000-40,000 ($60,000-$90,500 adjusted for 2024 inflation). When everyone left the lot for the day, security would have everyone open the trunks of their cars to make sure they weren’t stolen.

  • Hot Fuzz Movie Poster

    Hot Fuzz

    £125.00

    “They’re bad boys. They’re die hards. They’re lethal weapons. They are… Hot Fuzz.”

    Original 2007 Japanese B2 movie poster for the Pegg/Frost/Wright collaboration “Hot Fuzz”. A poster that is genuinely scarce due to a limited cinema release in Japan and like the makers’ previous collaboration “Shaun of the Dead” it has very quickly gained a cult following. “Hot Fuzz” satirises American action films in a way that an American satire would not. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg don’t simply spoof the plot threads and the car chases. They know the smaller details of Hollywood’s formula, as they exemplify with its continuous references to the scene in Point Break where Keanu Reeves fires his gun into the sky in anger and the scene in Bad Boys II where Martin Lawrence, in a circling tracking shot, says, S*** just got real.” Not only do they tackle those less clear characteristics of Hollywood, they also perfectly portray people who talk about awesome scenes in action movies, hilariously by Nick Frost. Eye catching, country unique design cleverly using the Union Jack flag as a backdrop for our heroes – Nicholas Angel (Pegg) & Danny Butterman (Frost). his excellent rolled example displays superbly and represents a super example of cinema memorabilia.

    Trivia: As this is the second part of the Cornetto Trilogy, the blue wrapper makes its appearance in the film. Nick and Danny are seen eating vanilla flavor ice cream. According to Edgar Wright, blue represents the police, which is the main motif in the film. For Wright’s other films, Shaun of the Dead (2004), it was red and strawberry flavor, representing blood and zombies, while the final part, The World’s End (2013), it was green and peppermint with chip, representing science fiction and extraterrestrial elements.

  • Silver Bullet Movie Poster

    Silver Bullet

    £150.00

    “It started in May in a small town and every month after that whenever the moon is full… It came back.”

    An original, rolled 1985 US One Sheet movie poster for Stephen King’s werewolf horror romp “Silver Bullet”. The movie is just pure fun, one of those horror movies that relies on atmospheric tension and frightening monsters. The werewolf is pretty scary in this adaptation of Stephen King’s novella, “Cycle of the Werewolf”. 1980s teen star Corey Haim is just fine as a wheelchair-bound young boy who discovers there’s a werewolf in their midst—the townsfolk think the murders are the work of a psycho killer, but Corey and his sister Megan Follows convince Uncle Red (a cool Gary Busey) and they set off to find the identity of the werewolf. Everett McGill is fine as the creepy minister, and the whole movie works because it doesn’t take itself too seriously and it recognises that. Truly one of the better treatments of a King work and a fantastic example of high grade cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Tarker’s Mills, where the action takes place, is a fictional town within the Stephen King universe. It borders locations of other King’s works also adapted to film, such as Chester’s Mill (Under the Dome (2013)), Derry (It (1990)) and Castle Rock (Needful Things (1993), Cujo (1983) and Pet Sematary (1989)), among others.

  • TREMORS Video Movie Poster

    TREMORS

    £95.00

    “They say there’s nothing new under the sun. But under the ground…The monster movie that breaks new ground.”

    One of the stand out films of the early 90’s & certainly one of the best and most eye-catching marketing campaigns. “TREMORS” is the kind of movie that can’t be placed in a certain genre. It’s a little bit of everything; horror, comedy, action, adventure and a fine homage to 50’s B-Movie sci-fi/horror flicks. This British video poster for Ron Underwood’s “TREMORS” is genuinely scarce and a hard poster to track down. Much like “The Shawshank Redemption” it is one of those film’s that hugely benefitted from the ‘home’ video market going on to achieve huge popularity and cult status, resulting in (to date) four sequels and a TV series. Offered here is an incredibly rare rolled (as issued) British video poster from first year of release, 1990. Original and unrestored it presents to excellent effect with deep bright colour tones and incredible (with a tip of the hat to “Jaws”) ‘creature’ artwork… A modern genre classic that represents a superb piece of original and highly collectable movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Prior to the film’s release, Kevin Bacon felt that the film was a career low: “I broke down and fell to the sidewalk, screaming to my pregnant wife, ‘I can’t believe I’m doing a movie about underground worms!'”
