Kirk Hammett, who owns this poster, says in his book, that this is his favorite poster that he owns. That is saying something, considering the amazing Universal paper he has.  8)

Well than he's fucking nuts because this one looks like it was drawn by a 10 year old.

I just saw that movie a few weeks ago. Sweet poster. I found the movie a little depressing though.

  I am really, really, liking this one.  It is up on emovie, I just wish it was in better condition. I know nothing about the artist nor the movie.  But this poster holds my attention.

I always really liked this OS, too. The artwork is really striking and colorful!  clap

I've wanted to see the movie, too, to see if it is really bad, campy or maybe even good.

Hey Everyone,
I work at USC and just wanted to share some of the amazing posters we have in the Lobby of the Cinematic Arts building.  I believe that Lucas donated most of these very rare posters, some that I have not seen anywhere else!  Basically, what I am telling you all is that I have a crowbar, I just need someone else to help me carry them out to a truck.   ;D 
Sorry in advance for the shitty camera phone photos...










The 10 commandements poster is my personal favorite.  Stunning in person!
















And here is a link to an article about USC's poster collection:

I hope you guys enjoy!

I'd love to have one of these, but at 94x126", I haven't the foggiest idea of where I would put it.  I have about 3 walls in my house where it could go.  1 is spoken for poster wise already, and the other 2 are not wife approved areas (for that one anyway).  Oh well, I remember Tom Pennock telling the story of getting his Thunderball framed, and I dont think I want to spend $3k getting it done.

Thanks.  You know what you did.
