  Bronx Warriors

  £195.00

  “In the year 1990, the Bronx is officially declared No Man’s Land. The authorities give up all attempts to restore law and order. From then on, the area is ruled by the Riders.”

  Enzo G. Castellari’s New York City set, post apocalypse romp “Bronx Warriors” is rightly regarded as a true cult movie B-Movie. This original 1982 British quad certainly isn’t subtle, it’s all action, grabbing your attention immediately and is a fantastic example of how a talented artist can produce imagery that’s far superior to the movie you are going to be watching. The artist is Brian Bysouth, one of the most prolific artists of his generation and a true master when it comes to capturing the essence of what a movie poster should be. Coming from Bysouth’s personal archive, this has been hand signed by the artist to the bottom right area. Offered unrestored and presented in high grade (as issued) condition it displays and presents to excellent effect. This is a scarce film poster, that is genuinely hard to find that represents a fine piece cinema memorabilia for a much loved cult movie.

  Trivia: The movie has been considered a cross between The Warriors (1979), Mad Max 2 (1981) and Escape from New York (1981).

  The Warriors

  £695.00

  “These are the Armies of The Night. They are 60,000 strong. They outnumber the cops three to one. They could run New York City. Tonight they’re all out to get the Warriors”

  Walter Hill’s hugely successful 1979 New York gang culture feature “The Warriors” is rightly regarded as a cult movie proving a hit with both critics and the movie going public. This original British quad is the alternative black and white style, which in my opinion makes it so much more striking than the full colour version – it suits the overall feel of the movie better and the bright red of the title is so much more vibrant. Drawing parallels to Greek Themes, this Walter Hill film about a gang that must travel thirty miles to make it home after being framed for murder has achieved cult status over the years for its memorable depiction of gangs and unique approach to portraying events from the street gang’s point of view. Offered unrestored and presented in very good folded (as issued) condition it displays and presents to excellent effect. This is a scarce film poster, that is genuinely hard to find that represents a fine piece cinema memorabilia for one of the great action thrillers of the 1970’s.

  Trivia: The iconic “Warriors, come out to play” scene was completely improvised by David Patrick Kelly after he felt the scripted scene wasn’t working. Walter Hill told him to just “come up with something”. Kelly gathered up some empty beer bottles he found under the boardwalk and created the intimidating dialogue. Kelly later revealed that he based it on a neighbour who used to intimidate him.
