This was in response to the use of The Evil Dead (1981) on a television screen in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), and part of a continued banter between directors Wes Craven and Sam Raimi.

In arguably the most famous role of her career, Jane Fonda stars as “Barbarella” in Roger Vadim’s, campy, sci-fi fantasy.

The original UK quad film poster for “Dirty Harry” offered here is an extremely rare example from later 1971 with ‘red-style’ artwork that was only seen in the smaller independently owned cinemas in the UK provinces.
