“They told Jack Burton to go to hell…and that’s exactly where he’s going !”
John Carpenter’s wildly entertaining cult classic “Big Trouble in Little China” receives an extraordinary alternative treatment in this highly detailed limited-edition poster by acclaimed Thai artist Ise Ananphada. Her elaborate composition places Kurt Russell’s swaggering hero Jack Burton at its centre, surrounded by an astonishing collection of characters, creatures and memorable imagery drawn from the film.
Lo Pan looms above the design alongside the fearsome Three Storms, while Gracie Law, Wang Chi, Egg Shen and other familiar figures appear among Chinatown architecture, dragons, weapons, flames and supernatural symbols. Even Jack Burton’s beloved Pork-Chop Express and truck have been incorporated into the artwork. The result perfectly captures the film’s distinctive combination of martial arts, fantasy, action, comedy and ancient Chinese mythology.
The exceptional printing is every bit as impressive as Ananphada’s illustration. Produced using 18 coloured inks, the poster is further embellished with a glitter layer and blacklight-reactive neon inks. These specialist finishes add remarkable depth, texture and vibrancy, with selected elements taking on a dramatic new appearance when viewed under ultraviolet light.
This example is hand-numbered #10 from a strictly limited edition of only 265. It has been stored flat and unfolded and remains in superb original condition. With tremendous visual impact and outstanding production quality, this is a highly desirable display piece for collectors of John Carpenter, Kurt Russell, cult cinema and contemporary alternative movie-poster art.
Trivia: John Carpenter and Kurt Russell explain on the audio commentary that the test screening was so overwhelmingly positive, that both of them expected it to be a big hit. However, 20th Century Fox put little into promoting the movie, and it ended up being a box-office bomb. In addition, the film was released in the midst of the hype for Aliens (1986), which was released sixteen days afterwards. However, it went on to be a huge cult hit through home video. Carpenter and Russell explained that the reason the studio did little to promote the film, was because they simply didn’t know how to promote it.

“Man Has Made His Match… Now It’s His Problem.”
Ridley Scott’s visionary science-fiction masterpiece returned to cinemas in 1992 with “Blade Runner: The Director’s Cut”, promoted by this impressive 30 × 40-inch UK Quad poster. John Alvin’s celebrated artwork places Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard and Sean Young’s Rachael above the neon-lit towers, airborne vehicles and rain-soaked cityscape of futuristic Los Angeles.
Loosely adapted from Philip K. Dick’s influential 1968 novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”, the film follows a specialist police officer tasked with hunting genetically engineered replicants. Alvin’s atmospheric composition perfectly reflects its fusion of futuristic spectacle, film noir and philosophical mystery. This Director’s Cut removed the original narration and presented Scott’s darker, more enigmatic vision to a new generation of cinemagoers.
Presented rolled, (as issued) this highly collectable British poster remains in excellent unrestored condition. With tremendous visual impact, it makes a superb display piece for collectors of Blade Runner, Ridley Scott, Harrison Ford and classic science-fiction cinema
Trivia: The film suffered at the box office, because it opened at the same time as E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982). The movie The Thing (1982) suffered a similar fate due to the same reason. Although there was praise for the visual style, word of mouth about the film’s slow pace and bleak themes quickly caused a decrease in attendance ratings. Both movies would later reach cult status and receive critical praise.

“Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven.”
Without doubt “A Clockwork Orange” was the most controversial film of its day, and that’s saying something when you consider it was released alongside “The Exorcist” and “Last Tango in Paris”.

Totally original and unrestored, the cards are presented in high grade, flat, unfolded (as issued) condition that display and present to excellent effect. A genuinely scarce and hard to find example of cinema memorabilia. The film still remains Kubrick’s most controversial work; quite a feat when one considers the range of topics the filmmaker explored across his remarkable career and represent a superb addition to any collection.
Trivia: The film was unavailable for public viewing in the UK from 1973 until 2000, the year after Stanley Kubrick‘s death. British video stores were so inundated with requests for the movie that some took to putting up signs that read: ‘No, we do not have A Clockwork Orange (1971).’

What is Giclee ?
Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.
The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.
Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

Walt Disney’s live action super spy ‘James Bond’ spoof movie…“Condorman”. It has all of the cool gadgets, world-wide locations, a sexy femme fatale, creepy Russain villains, and best of all, some of the coolest car and boat chase sequences on film. The concept of the film is a cross between a comic book hero and a secret agent who failed O’Level spying. It has the humour of ‘The Morecambe and Wise Show’ and the special effects of an early Bond film. Regarded as a ‘Golden Age’ for Disney movie posters. It is the artwork from the Walt Disney posters produced during the 1970’s and early 1980’s that were probably the best looking from any period. Offered here is an original UK quad movie poster from the first year of release 1981 with some stunning art by the very talented Brian Bysouth. A fantastic looking, visual feast of a poster with beautiful design and artwork, bright bold colours and stunning all-action imagery featuring the titular “Condorman” offset against rocket firing cars and futuristic speed boats; a fantastic FUN poster. Originally rolled (as issued) this unrestored film poster presents to excellent effect and is a fine example of rare and collectable original movie memorabilia for a much loved and very popular Disney offering.

Trivia: During one take, when Condorman falls into the River Seine, Michael Crawford nearly drowned after the strength of the current was miscalculated. He was dragged five to ten feet under the water before two lifeguards pulled him out just in time. Crawford was willing to do the stunt again but director Charles Jarrott refused to allow it, and put a trained stuntman in his place.

“PLEASE TRY NOT TO FAINT. Not recommended for people of nervous disposition.”
One of the best re-release posters you will see for a Hammer presentation for one of the most important films, Hammer made. Offered here is a beautiful British quad for the restored 4K 2025 re-release for “The Curse of Frankenstein”. Artist Greg Staples has excelled, himself and (in my opinion) produced the best artwork of his distinguished career – it really is exceptional with the photograph not doing it justice. A film poster with outstanding detailed artwork and use of colour; the green used on the title is particularly lurid, with incredible realistic likenesses of Lee, Cushing and the strong supporting cast. Released by Hammer for a very limited cinematic run that coincided with a newly remastered Blu Ray, this UK quad is from the cinema release and not one of the 200 limited release examples offered on Hammer’s website. It presents to excellent effect and is a must have Hammer Horror collectable.
Trivia: Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing‘s friendship was sparked when Lee stormed into Cushing’s dressing room, complaining that “I’ve got no lines!” Cushing kindly responded, “You’re lucky. I’ve read the script.”
