A truly influential genre classic…John Landis’ tongue in cheek werewolf horror romp “An American Werewolf in London”. This original 1982 (first year of release in Japan) Japan B2 film poster is stunning; great horror imagery and often referred to as the “monster montage style” featuring all of creatures from the Film and even a bit of saucy Jenny Agutter nudity . Full on and very in your face and not at all understated and restrained as is the US one sheet version. With unique Japan design this is an extremely desirable, very rare poster from a “golden age” of physical movie special effects. In near faultless original, unrestored condition this rolled example presents in investment grade condition and represents an exciting piece of original horror film movie memorabilia…“Be rational, sure. I’m a fucking werewolf, for Christ’s sake!”
Trivia: John Landis wrote the screenplay for this film following an incident while shooting Kelly’s Heroes (1970) (while he was a go-fer) in the countryside of Yugoslavia. While driving along a country road with a colleague, Landis encountered a gypsy funeral. The body was being buried in a massively deep grave, feet first, while wrapped in garlic, so he would not rise from the dead.

A magnificent example for one of the best feelgood films ever made…Richard Donner’s “The Goonies”. Add to the mix Steven Spielberg & Chris Columbus it was a guaranteed box office hit, but just to make sure they commissioned movie poster maestro Drew Struzan to create the campaign poster. He in turn produced some of the best work of his career as featured here on this original Japanese B2 movie poster. The portrait format is perfectly suited to his design which is fondly referred to as the ‘hanging’ style as the seven Goonies are left hanging from a stalactite . Originally rolled (as issued) this unrestored example looks incredible and presents and displays superbly. An amazing item for a hugely loved and popular movie and a fantastic piece of scarce original movie memorabilia for a film poster that has become one of the most desirable titles of the 1980’s…“Goonies never say die !”
Trivia: One Eyed Willie’s ship, The Inferno, was 105 feet long and took 2-1/2 months to construct. It was modeled after Errol Flynn‘s ship in The Sea Hawk (1940). The sails required more than 7,000 square feet of material, the largest measured 30ft by 60ft. Some of the ship’s rigging was recycled for the Pirates of the Caribbean ship at Disneyland, which was being renovated at the time.

He in turn produced some of the best work of his career as featured here on this Japanese B2 movie poster. The portrait format is perfectly suited to his design which is fondly referred to as the ‘hanging’ style as the seven Goonies are left hanging from a stalactite and it’s only on this design the characters have their own photographs displayed along the bottom edge. While this poster was available to the public, it was sold only at Japanese cinemas during the first release of the film and NOT by any third party sellers or after the end of the first release period. It is considered to be much rarer than the Japanese theatrical posters from this same title and has a tiny silver Stik metallic square licensing snipe attached to the bottom corner. Originally rolled (as issued) this unrestored example looks incredible and presents and displays superbly. An amazing item for a hugely loved and popular movie and a fantastic piece of scarce original movie memorabilia for a film poster that has become one of the most desirable titles of the 1980’s…“Goonies never say die !”

“Your Senses Will Never Be The Same”
Of the four poster designs created for the 1975 release of Ken Russell’s “Tommy” in Japan this style B is by far the rarest and visually the best. Featuring country unique Japanese artwork the “Christ like” imagery of Tommy (Roger Daltrey) his head adorned with a crown of poppies and bleeding torso pinned by poppies is a memorable sight. Complemented by border artwork of the all-star cast (The Who, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson, Oliver Reed to name just a few.) stands out as a great looking poster. Originally rolled (as issued) this rare example presents very well and as it features some of the greatest names ever in both rock music and the cinema represents a fantastic piece of highly desirable, collectable entertainment memorabilia.
“…a deaf, dumb and blind kid…who sure plays a mean pinball.“

“Five Criminals…One Line Up…No Coincidence.”
A classic movie poster from a classic 90’s crime thriller. A lovely rolled (as issued) Japanese B2 movie poster for Bryan Singer’s 1995 thought provoking mystery thriller “The Usual Suspects”. The clever imagery has the memorable line-up scene featuring the five ‘usual suspects’ – Kevin Pollak, Stephen Baldwin, Benicio Del Toro, Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Spacey. This Japanese poster design shows Kevin Spacey WITH a watch on. Many other posters from the U.S. and other countries had the watch removed as it gave clues to the film’s surprise ending. This example displays to excellent effect and represents a great looking item of original cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Verbal Kint says, “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist.” This quote from the French poet Charles Baudelaire also appears in End of Days (1999), also featuring Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Pollak.
