  Starship Troopers

  £125.00

  “The only good bug is a dead bug…Forget the insecticide, bring on the nukes !”

  Fantastic sci-fi imagery for this eye-catching movie poster for a war movie with a difference…it’s set in the future and we’re fighting giant bugs. Paul Verhoeven’s chest thumping actioner “Starship Troopers” is a true ‘marmite’ film; you either love the no holds barred over the top spectacularly gory action or you hate the simple plot and stiff as a board acting. With an eye-catching design that teases the giant bugs, as you see just their deadly claws in the foreground with a colonial marine running headlong to do battle with it – all against the backdrop of an alien planet. From original year of UK release 1997 this excellent rolled (as issued) one-sheet presents and displays near perfectly and represents a fantastic piece of original collectable movie memorabilia from what is undoubtably a great sci-fi action movie (one of the first to utilise and effectively use CGI technology) which is fondly remembered and spawned a popular TV show & three big screen sequels.

  Trivia: Most of the arachnids appearing on film are CGI but a few life-sized, robotic models were built. However, during the battle scenes, the actors mostly wound up looking at director Paul Verhoeven himself who would stand in front of them and jump and scream, even chasing them with a broom in an attempt to generate some of the fearsomeness of a 12-foot space ant. Clancy Brown, who played Sgt. Zim, affectionately described the director as “a nutbag”, given to “jumping up and down with a bullhorn going, ‘I’m a big fucking bug! I’ll kill you!’ I loved him; he was so much fun.”

  U.S. Vs John Lennon, The

  £150.00

  “Artist..Humanitarian..National Threat”….Very rare Award winning original UK Quad film poster for the 2006 John Lennon documentary “The U.S. Vs John Lennon”. Very clever variation on a stars and stripes theme as Lennon’s face is integrated into the American flag. This striking red, white and blue imagery only available on the UK Quad was produced by All City design. This rolled example looks and displays superbly. Because of the very limited cinema release of the movie it is extremely scarce and hard to find…Investment grade quality.
