  First Blood: Rambo

  £395.00

  “This time he’s fighting for his life”

  Back in the early 1980’s when the character of John J. Rambo was introduced to movie screens, filmgoers were dealing with a character that was not displayed as an action icon, but a man who had a lot of demons within him. This is perfectly related here with possibly the imagery of Stallone as the ‘All-American hero’ Rambo on this original 1982 UK Quad film poster for “First Blood”. Beautiful artwork by Drew Struzan using acrylic & coloured pencils this is character defining artwork provides a fitting highlight to one of Stallone’s best films and a reminder as to why he was the most bankable star of the 1980’s. Originally folded (as issued) and totally unrestored, the UK quad film poster offered here remains in excellent high grade condition and represents a first class piece of impressive, very collectable original movie memorabilia for a true Hollywood legend.

  Trivia: Rambo’s trademark combat knife was custom designed by the late Arkansas knife maker Jimmy Lile. The movie popularized knock-off hollow handled survival knives with compasses in the pommel.

  Victory (Escape to Victory)

  £95.00

  “Now is the time for heroes.”

  John Huston’s “Victory” (Escape To Victory) has probably seen so much critical scorn it’s mind boggling. Is this movie Oscar material? Certainly not, but it’s a great film in many ways. It would be fair to say that this is most probably, the first real Football movie of its time. With stars like Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone on board, along with an array of football stars including the one and only Pele (featured, in all their glory by the artist, Jarvis) and a true gentleman of the sport – Bobby Moore, it is truly a classic. Some people say that the story is old hat, but I disagree. Even without the football it is a very solid War film. You don’t have to be a football fan to enjoy the film, any sports fan can relate to the story that is thrust upon you…It is the classic David and Goliath type battle with football being the medium. I can remember the first time I saw the film, the cinema erupted every time the prisoners scored a goal, that was the intensity of the movie. If you are not a football fan, this movie might just convert you. Originally rolled (as issued) this US half-subway poster (printed for use in New York) presents to excellent effect with fantastic Jarvis imagery of Caine, Stallone and Pele that perfectly suits the portrait format. 

  Trivia: Fate brought “Victory” to Stallone’s attention. In 1979, Stallone was looking to buy a beach house in Malibu, CA. One of the houses he looked at was owned by producer Freddie Fields. After Stallone looked over the house, he met Fields out on the sundeck to tell him that, unfortunately, the house was too small. Not to let a good opportunity pass, Fields began to tell Stallone the story of a new film he wanted to make entitled “Victory.” Fields happened to have an available script on him. Stallone was intrigued enough to to take the script home with him. Three days later, Stallone announced he wanted to play Captain Hatch in the movie.
