  Beastmaster

  £195.00

  “The epic adventure of a new kind of hero“

  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. Don Coscarelli’s “Beastmaster” has stood the test of time well and is fondly remembered with a large and loyal fanbase. Boasting some of the best fantasy art seen on a movie poster by the advertising agency FEREF (Eddie Paul) with finished art byJosh Kirby this original 1982 UK quad for “Beastmaster” 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: Director Don Coscarelli decided to set the story in a sort of Bronze Age milieu because he was a long time fan of Steve Reeves, Ray Harryhausen, and sword and sandal flicks.

  Fire and Ice

  £175.00

  “At the end of the ice age, an evil queen and her son are set on conquering the world using magic and warriors. The lone survivor of a crushed village fights back as does the king of Fire Keep.”

  “Fire and Ice” is a cult animated feature, based on characters co-created by Ralph Bakshi and legendary fantasy artist Frank Frazetta, and was made using the process of rotoscoping, in which scenes were shot in live-action and then traced onto animation cels. And it is from the first year of release, 1983 that this Frazetta illustrated original British UK quad is from. Impressive and exciting poster artwork promising everything that the award winning artist could offer – Frazetta is regarded as one of the greatest fantasy and science fiction artists of all time, noted for comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, LP record album covers and other media, with some examples of his painted original artwork selling for seven figures, making this film poster very good value for money. Presented in lovely unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition this is a marvellous item of 1980’s nostalgia and a great piece of original cinematic movie memorabilia

  Trivia: According to director Ralph Bakshi, the animators found working for producer Frank Frazetta to be so daunting that some of them even fainted when Frazetta visited the set.

  KRULL

  £125.00

  “Beyond our time, beyond our universe…there is a planet besieged by alien invaders, where a young king must rescue his love from the clutches of the Beast. Or risk the death of his world.“

  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. Filmed at Pinewood Studios, largely using the same staff and crew that had previously worked on James Bond and Star Wars, Peter Yates’ “KRULL” has stood the test of time well and is fondly remembered. Boasting some of the best fantasy art seen on a movie poster by Josh Kirby this original 1983 UK quad for “KRULL” 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: A hand that could physically transform into a “Changeling Claw” was developed for the movie, but due to time constraints could not be developed in time and was not used in the film. The piece later was completed for Tobe Hooper‘s movie Lifeforce (1985).

  NeverEnding Story, The

  £395.00

  “A boy who needs a friend finds a world that needs a hero in a land beyond imagination!”

  Wolfgang Petersen’s “The NeverEnding Story” boasts some of the finest artwork seen on an adventure fantasy movie poster, this original 1984 UK quad by Renato Casaro, certainly impresses with incredible likenesses of the main characters and the supporting creatures. Presented in excellent original rolled (as issued) condition with strong vibrant colours it represents one of the best examples of collectable, cinematic movie memorabilia we have offered from one of the best loved films of the 1980s.

  Trivia #1: At the time of its release it was the most expensive film produced outside the United States and the Soviet Union.

  Trivia #2: The smash-hit title song by Limahl initially did poorly in the US. The song only became a hit in the US following the movie’s Home Video release and Cable TV airings a year after the film’s theatrical release. It enjoyed another peak in popularity when it was performed by one of the characters in the third season of Stranger Things (2016).
