  • Highlander Movie Poster

    Highlander

    £495.00

    “He fought his first battle on the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He will fight his greatest battle on the streets of New York City in 1986. His name is Connor MacLeod. He is immortal.”

    Does exactly what a fantasy movie is supposed to do! It lets your imagination run away with you. The Queen soundtrack (like their earlier Flash Gordon) is fantastic. Sean Connery is of course ‘Sean Connery’ & wonderful in his part with Christopher Lambert perfectly cast as the untrained Immortal Connor MacLeod. Like many films that have reached a cult status it received a lukewarm reception (& that’s being kind) on its initial release resulting in very limited availability of the merchandising used to promote it especially the film posters. Offered here is a scarce one-sheet, unrestored, original country of origin (UK) film poster for Russell Mulcahy’s 1986 fantasy adventure “Highlander”. This superb originally rolled (as issued) example has a high gloss finish, deep, vibrant colours and stunning detailed Brian Bysouth sci-fi imagery. All making for an extremely desirable investment grade condition exceptionally scarce movie poster from a hugely influential movie that spawned numerous sequels, TV series’ & even a cartoon…One of the coolest poster’s from 1980’s and a fantastic piece of collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Queen originally intended to record only one song for this movie, but after viewing footage from the movie, they were inspired to write more. The band members each had a favorite scene and composed songs specifically for them. Brian May wrote “Who Wants to Live Forever” during the cab ride home after seeing the movie, and Roger Taylor used the line “It’s a kind of magic” as the basis for the end title song.

    Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope

    £295.00

    “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”

    A global phenomenon when originally released in 1977 producing (at the time) a multitude of related merchandise including some exceptional commercial and promotional posters with some of the best and examples being very collectable in their own right. R2-D2 and C3PO have gone on to become iconic and hugely popular, more so probably than the lead characters and really have become the symbol for the franchise featuring in all seven films and became pivotal figures in the massive marketing and merchandising campaign that was to follow. Presented here on this original vintage 1977 “Star Wars” poster from the original soundtrack…“The Story of Star Wars” in original unrestored condition this excellent rolled (as issued) example was one of the best promotional Star Wars licenced posters produced at the time and one of the very few made to display horizontally in a landscape format. Scarce and desirable Star Wars memorabilia…“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid”

    Trivia: The skeleton that C-3PO passes belongs to a Tatooine creature called a Greater Krayt Dragon. This artificial skeleton was left in the Tunisian desert after filming, and still lies there. During filming of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002), the site was visited by the crew once more, and the skeleton was still there. In The Mandalorian Chapter 9: The Marshal (2020), locals on Tatooine join with Sand People to fight and kill one of these serpents.
