I ddint notice at first that the Freaks poster was backed, Mike. Looks like a Japanese poster? If so, is it a B2 size?
Cool info there, Brandon, about Shark. I've never heard of it, either. I wonder what Burt Reynolds has/had to say about it and the filming experience? I also did a quick look online and there are a couple on youtube that shows a shark attack from the flicker, but I then read on this site (http://www.thelightningbugslair.com/2010/06/shark-1969-sam-fuller-swims-in-troubled.html) that the footage used in the film was not the death of the stuntman, but another shark attack that was shot for the movie: "There was also the matter of the shark attack. A stuntman was killed during the filming of Shark due to an actual attack by the titular creature. When the movie was released, the producers marketed the film as containing the actual footage of the man being killed by a shark. The director, Sam Fuller, was outraged and railed against the producers for such a cheap and disrespectful gimmick. While the film does contain one brutal looking shark attack, apparently it was all just a scheme to gain some notoriety. In fact, the film does not contain the footage in question though the producers did slap a dedication on the beginning of the film to all the brave stunt men who worked in the shark-infested waters."Since there are always variations (publicity) of what some say was used in the movie, it makes it even more interesting and curious to try and uncover.
i think we may be talking at cross purposes here.the poster i just got does not have burt reynolds in it. it's an obscure Italian documentary i think you could "loosely" include into the mondo cycle of movies.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0214258/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#castbut i would still love to know who the artist was.... ANYONE?? does anyone know of any resources for finding japanese artists?
Hi rosa - I think they r both Park Circus re-releases - I did manage to get 2 of some of the nicer re-releases with the intention of future framing. My favourites out of the bunch would be With nail & I - fantastic film to watch after a few beersDeer Hunter - purple version - a more limited print on thicker paper & looks stunning Some like it Hot - certainly an improvement on previous re-releaseOut of the "older" stuff , Contraband Spain is easily my fav - the picture just doesn't do it justice , closely followed my Ice Station Zebra which took an age to find at a reasonable priceNext up I'll post some new framed & few foreign posters!
Yes, this is a commercial, but couldn't resist it being a Big fan of Sharon's.I'll get this framed for my Poster room.
You are on a roll Aiden!! Your enthusiasm is very contagious

That is very interesting. So much drama with the behind the scenes stuff. Wow.Oh zoinks. They put the tagline "Shark!" in large, bold letters, as most would do with the title. And, of course, there's actually a film named "Shark!" with the exclamation point. Who's bright idea was that? LawlA little confusing, but thanks for the clarification, TW.Here's a great writeup about Sharks and Men:http://www.filmonpaper.com/posters/sharks-men-b2-japan/
actually picked up a few bits & bobs!although i am putting these B2s up a bit late but only got round to taking the pics over the weekend.does anyone know much about japanese artists? would like to know who did the art on shark?it looks like Masu Kawa but who knows?
Hey TW, You nailed the artist's name! I poked around and found that his full name is Susumu Masukawa.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!thanks a lot for the info man appreciated.can i ask where you found it?
A few more for me this month... These are both Belgian's. They both have a considerable amount of space above the artwork, I'm guessing this was for engagement dates/times similar to WCs?
....I managed to get a full set.....
