To be honest as much as I appreciate good movie art I am not very good with the names of the artists.
I prefer there based it more on this one, what there plan first
Mabey because of another movie from them ''A Simple Favor'' using a bit of same idea:
Might be why; the background colours more than anything are very similar. The poster artwork (without those two guys) is much better though, so it's a shame they didn't use it for the BR release.
Maybe they could have removed the flat background colours and replaced them with some nice environment shots from a couple of scenes?
Very subtil small MGM logo in left corner on his shoe. Shame about to big Dutch release date, who should at a litle bit more to the bottem.
The Creed 2 poster has a similar look to some of the Rocky III and Rocky IV posters which works thematically.
Some interesting (foreign) posters I found online tonight.
It really is! Great artwork and design on that one.
Italian poster for "Dial M for Murder"
Alternative poster
Spanish poster for my favourite Hitchcock movie
And I really like this one as well
Hah! "Bette Davis & Bette Davis" is quite clever! Never seen that poster nor the Yul Brynner one before, but I think I've seen a different version of the Dead Ringer one.
Extremely rare Spain movie poster (3sh ?) , i believe only 3 have been on the market , virtually impossible to find and expensive as hell !
Ive seen some gorgeous movie posters but this takes the cake lol :P
This one? Really like the vibrant colours!
(if you see rolled 70s/80s movie posters from Hong Kong on ebay , stay away....the originals were always factory folded and much darker in color , no glossy paper. The real ones are often found torn and/or missing pieces so to find one in this nice shape is wonderful)
Still I feel safer with posters than autographs (now THAT is an area riddled with fakes !)
I havent seen any fake Singapore posters though so theyre safer to buy than Hong Kong ones
In Canada (for example Quebec) they were required by law to censor stamp the kung fu posters so that you could see they were OK-ed by film censors (note blue stamp in lower right corner of that Wang Yu poster , thats censor stamp)
Wouldn't feel comfortable buying an autographed poster/image etc. online, that's for sure. A lot of those got to be fake. The prices are high too.
Interesting fact re. the censor stamp! If searching for original poster artwork, stuff like that is very good to know. I don't know if there was anything similar here in Scandinavia at the time, but it might have been. Have never heard of fake Scandinavian poster artwork though.
Yes, good observation.
The third poster is superb, I just put a couple of 40's Black and White film posters in some new frames. I love Black and White images
@Torgeirtrap the Rock N Roll... poster reminds me of Animal House...
This was on TV a few nights ago, 60's Spy shenanigans...
They are very similar! The films were made one year apart, so the similarity of the RRHS one might have been intentional to tap into the popularity of Animal House.
That Modesty Blaise poster is a great one! Wouldn't mind having a print of it framed on the wall. Have yet to actually see the film though!
I am a fan of 60's Spy films as probably most are on here, I saw the film when young though when channel hopping stumbled on it whilst at work. Its OK its a bit of a psychodelic spy spoof Monaca Vitti would have made a good Bond Girl I think.
I have no doubt she would have been great! As Tracy perhaps?
Will have to check out Modesty Blaise at some point. Like you, I really enjoy 60's spy films – and 60's films in general.
