“At the end of the ice age, an evil queen and her son are set on conquering the world using magic and warriors. The lone survivor of a crushed village fights back as does the king of Fire Keep.”
“Fire and Ice” is a cult animated feature, based on characters co-created by Ralph Bakshi and legendary fantasy artist Frank Frazetta, and was made using the process of rotoscoping, in which scenes were shot in live-action and then traced onto animation cels. And it is from the first year of release, 1983 that this Frazetta illustrated original British UK quad is from. Impressive and exciting poster artwork promising everything that the award winning artist could offer – Frazetta is regarded as one of the greatest fantasy and science fiction artists of all time, noted for comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, LP record album covers and other media, with some examples of his painted original artwork selling for seven figures, making this film poster very good value for money. Presented in lovely unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition this is a marvellous item of 1980’s nostalgia and a great piece of original cinematic movie memorabilia
Trivia: According to director Ralph Bakshi, the animators found working for producer Frank Frazetta to be so daunting that some of them even fainted when Frazetta visited the set.

A masterclass in movie poster design by Tom Chantrell. Chantrell has created artwork that harks back to the B-movie horror film posters of the 1950’s. “Food of the Gods” clearly was set in this genre was loosely based on an H.G. Wells’ novel, telling the story of a strange substance that turns creatures into huge, giant man eating monsters. Showing his dedication to his art, Chantrell actually visited a farm in order to take photos of a cockerel to ensure that his illustration was accurate – giant rats were more evident in the film than the cockerel shown on the quad but Chantrell rightly deduced that images of large rats might deter the paying public. Nostalgic 70’s hokum that is complemented by a first rate film poster that’s a great example of horror artwork…including use of bold day-glo orange inks in the title. Originally folded (as issued) this UK quad from 1976 is presented in incredible unrestored condition (most likely unused) and is the best example of this poster I have ever offered for sale. In true investment grade condition, this genuinely rare cult classic represents an extremely desirable and collectable piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.
Note: The image of the distressed lady (a la Fay Wray from “King Kong”) was a stock pose that Chantrell frequently used in his poster designs ie “Quatermass & The Pitt” (1967) and “Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed” (1969)
Trivia: One of the rat costumes would later be reused for “The Star Wars Holiday Special”.

Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas” is an iconic motion picture and a giant of the gangster genre that will stand the test of time for years and years to come. Designed by Territory Studios advertising agency the movie poster imagery that accompanied the 2016 BFI release was equally as memorable. The imagery of the three stars (De Niro, Pesci & Liotta) accompanied by one of their key scenes makes for a stylish design with the red filter particularly effective. The BFI are renowned for producing excellent and ‘fresh’ poster designs for their limited run releases and this is considered one of the best. As with all BFI screenings they are very limited (sometimes only a single showing) with an incredibly small print run. making the posters very hard to come by. This originally rolled (as issued) example displays & presents to fine effect. Hugely desirable and a must have title for the serious poster collector or Goodfellas fan it represents a premium piece of quality collectable movie memorabilia.
Trivia: The “How am I funny?” scene is based on something that actually happened to Joe Pesci. While working in a restaurant, a young Pesci apparently told a mobster that he was funny, a compliment that was met with a less-than-enthusiastic response. Pesci relayed the anecdote to Martin Scorsese, who decided to include it in the film. Scorsese didn’t include the scene in the shooting script, so that Pesci and Ray Liotta‘s interactions would elicit genuinely surprised reactions from the supporting cast.

The name of the firm in the film, the Green Street Elite, refers to Green Street in the London Borough of Newham, where West Ham’s old home stadium, Upton Park was located. The UK quad used to market the movie is a classic character study with the two major stars – Elijah Wood and Charlie Hannam taking centre stage. The originally rolled (as issued) UK quad film poster offered here displays beautifully and is presented in excellent condition with minimal handling wear and represents an extremely desirable piece of original British movie memorabilia.
Trivia: West Ham were approached by the film-makers who wanted to shoot scenes at their Upton Park ground. As they were under the impression that the film was celebrating the glorious game and its fanatical supporters, they agreed. Once they realized the film’s true take on the subject (after filming had taken place), they disassociated themselves from the project.

These changes would continue throughout the franchise, with each movie getting darker and increasingly desaturated.

In keeping with the James Bond theme, the movie has many Bond movie co-stars: John Rhys-Davies, Alison Doody, Julian Glover, Stefan Kalipha, Pat Roach, Eugene Lipinski, Michael Byrne, and Vernon Dobtcheff.

Timothy Dalton’s second outing as 007 was a truly gritty tale of revenge and action with a great white shark being an unusual instrument of torture for one scene. Keith Hamshere (who made Dalton the ‘perfect’ Bond in The Living Daylights campaign ) was again retained as the Bond photographer on this 1989 country of origin British UK quad for “Licence to Kill” featuring a moody Timothy Dalton in close up. Genuinely scarce this rolled (as issued) example looks superb and is presented totally unrestored in high grade condition and represents a worthy addition for any poster collector or any collection of James Bond cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: It is widely and incorrectly rumored that this was Timothy Dalton‘s last James Bond film due it being financially disappointing. In reality, Dalton was to star in a third James Bond film after this one, titled “Property of a Lady”, written by Michael G. Wilson and Alfonse Ruggiero Jr. and set to start shooting in 1990, with pre-production work having begun in May of that year. However legal issues with MGM beginning that year created long delays which eventually led Dalton to announce his retirement from the role in 1994, a year after his initial contract expired, paving the way for Pierce Brosnan‘s casting in GoldenEye (1995). Had the film been made, it would have been set in Scotland, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, and would have involved nanotechnology.

1987 was the end of a historic movie tradition as Brian Bysouth produced the last fully drawn painted James Bond film poster (Fascinating Brian Bysouth interview with Eddie Shannon of Film on Paper) for Timothy Dalton’s 007 debut as “The most dangerous Bond…Ever” in “The Living Daylights”.
