  • Enter the Dragon Movie Poster

    Enter The Dragon

    £395.00

    “Their deadly mission: to crack the forbidden island of Han !”

    Rightly regarded as one of the key and most collectable movie posters for a film that created its own unique genre and provided the vehicle to launch Bruce Lee (albeit briefly) as a screen & cultural icon. Bob Peak created the artwork and his design was used globally as the imagery became as memorable as its late star. Whilst the core artwork remained the same slight variations appeared in different countries with this Japanese re-issue one-sheet format probably the most striking as the action imagery (including a nunchuk wielding Bruce Lee) was offset against a black background. Offered here is an exceptional Japanese B1 film poster for “Enter the Dragon” from the 1997 re-release, finished with a high gloss sheen it presents to stunning effect and displays minimal handling wear. This originally rolled (as issued) example is rarely seen in this large Japanese format and in such high grade unrestored investment grade condition. A striking piece that represents an extremely scarce and collectable example of original movie memorabilia & a fitting tribute to the martial arts legend BRUCE LEE.

    Trivia: In 2004, this movie was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” in the United States and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.

  • Enter the Dragon Movie Poster

    Enter The Dragon

    £1,995.00

    “Their deadly mission: to crack the forbidden island of Han !”

    “Enter the Dragon” is rightly regarded as one of the key and most collectable movie posters from the 1970’s for a film that created it’s own unique genre and provided the vehicle to launch Bruce Lee (albeit briefly) as a screen & cultural icon. Bob Peak created the artwork and his design was used globally as the imagery became as memorable as its late star. Whilst the core artwork remained the same slight variations appeared in different countries with the UK landscape format probably the most striking as the action imagery (including a nun-chuk wielding Bruce Lee) was offset against a bright yellow background. Offered here is an exceptional originally folded (as issued) UK quad film poster from first year of release 1973 that displays and presents to excellent effect – colours are very vibrant and truly pop from the paper. On almost constant release in the mid 70s as Lee’s reputation rose to new heights following his untimely death, no new posters issued with cinema owners having to make use of their 1973 examples – making this offering extremely desirable as it rarely comes to market in such high grade unrestored condition. It represents an extremely scarce and collectable example of  original movie memorabilia & a fitting tribute to the martial arts legend BRUCE LEE.

    TRIVIA: ENTER THE DRAGON due to its huge popularity was consistently re-released and shown after its 1973 debut yet no new standalone posters were ever printed & it was down to the cinema owners to re-use the posters from 1973. Making original unrestored 1973 posters of this quality extremely scarce.

    Enter The Dragon

    £225.00

    “Their deadly mission: to crack the forbidden island of Han !”

    “Enter the Dragon” is rightly regarded as one of the key and most influential movie’s from the 1970’s, creating it’s own unique genre and provided the vehicle to launch Bruce Lee (albeit briefly) as a screen & cultural icon. Unsurprisingly, it is one of the most popular licences when looking to have artwork commissioned. This 2024 offering from Thai artist Kwow is one of the best of these. Kwow’s impressive artwork beautifully portrays the most memorable scenes from the film and is beautifully complemented by some amazing realistic likenesses of the main cast members, particularly Lee who takes prominence. This very limited release of only 100, has been hand-numbered #57 in pencil and is offered in beautiful rolled, unfolded (as issued) condition that displays and presents to excellent effect – colours are very vibrant and truly pop from the paper. A truly outstanding art print that represents a key item of highly sought after modern cinematic memorabilia and a fitting tribute to the martial arts legend BRUCE LEE.

  • The Green Hornet Movie Poster

    Green Hornet, The

    £495.00

    “This was meant to be an action-adventure series about the grand-nephew of Texas Ranger John Reid (better known as The Lone Ranger) and a stacked luxury car named “Black Beauty”, but ended up being a vehicle for the great Bruce Lee and his amazing exhibitions of the martial arts.”

    With the Adam West “Batman” TV show a runaway success in the 1960s, it was bound to spawn imitators, and “The Green Hornet”, did not disappoint, based on an old radio show and movie. Hollywood pretty boy Van Williams, who strongly resembled ’60s heartthrob Fabian, played the masked supersleuth who chases down baddies in a souped-up Chrysler and with his sidekick, Kato, played by a very young Bruce Lee. The show is best remembered for Kato’s fight scenes, which is understandable for anyone who remembers Bruce Lee. After Lee’s tragic death in 1973, 20th Century Fox edited together four of the best TV episodes for a big screen, cinema release. It was meant to be a homage for one of the fasting rising stars in Hollywood, but in reality it was a cash in and that is clearly evident in the marketing campaign poster – Yes it features Green Hornet, ‘Black Beauty’ the customised Chrysler Imperial Crown sedan, but this is Lee’s movie. His name and over-sized image dwarf anything else. Bright red capitals at the top of the poster announce ‘BRUCE LEE’ and Kato in his blue jump-suited outfit really stand out in what is a pretty decent poster; very psychedelic 1960s. Offered here is an original, 1974 country of origin, US one-sheet that presents to stunning effect that benefits from being conservation linen backed. An impressive item that represents an extremely scarce and collectable example of original cinematic movie memorabilia & a fitting tribute to the martial arts legend BRUCE LEE.

    Trivia: Upon the suggestion of his 10 year old son Marco, producer Laurence Joachim licensed the rights to turn The Green Hornet (1966) into two feature length movies, making this first one the fifth biggest grossing Bruce Lee film ever. Larry and Marco took the best from the 1966 TV show, and edited them together with added fight scenes.
