IKEA sells LED strips that I put behind my TV, but they are blinding at times these may work and you can change the colors according to the poster...

Thank you both for your input-very much appreciated...as well as the link.

I will update you with my project when it's done!

Dan, any inside info on the Matrix "lightning" international poster? On some versions - which are otherwise believed to be legit - the phrase "Believe The Unbelievable" goes into the title while on others it is separate and distinct:

I wish I had more insight into this however I don't. I have owned both printings and could not tell them apart other than the flaw mentioned.

We all know the Sonis reprint and I have not heard of any bootlegs for this style yet.

So are both versions legit in your opinion? Not the Sonis of course... but the two versions with slightly different tagline placements?

Any idea on which came first? Possibly the overlap version? Regardless, there must have been very few printed of both versions... I've only heard of a handful of copies having surfaced.

Correct...again as far as I know....I keep an eye out when they pop up...and yes there are not many around....it's funny...sometimes the INTERNATIONAL printings are everywhere..other times not...this is a case where they are not.

I also managed to find a BLUE international much like the art in the Swedish or Spanish one sheet....again...a very difficult poster to source.

Holiday, Harry Caul, and I also have that one sheet:

Finally finished my lighted movie poster display!

Something I have been meaning to do for over 10 years.

I had an actual hinged frame from a movie theatre years ago....finally got around to cutting out the hardboard back and mounted a 27x40 LED Light panel on the back and it comes in around 30lbs and about 2-3 inches thick!

Stuck a uncommon E.T Lenticular inside for a quick photo.

re-uncommon E.T. Lenticular because it is one of the thicker ones they printed for the reissue...most were very thin and could be rolled to ship.

Looks cool Dan!

Thought you guys might like a peek at something else I have in the works....

I have an "art only" image that was drum scanned and I'm in the process of cleaning up the image so that one of these days I can get around to printing this 27x40.

It's actually in colour but I also kind of like it in black and white....what do you think?

...and what is wrong with this poster and what makes it sooo rare? ;0)

fans of the film should get it!

Dan,

Do you know who painted the artwork for Mad Max? I don't recognise the signature and have been unable to find anything out after searching for a long time.

I used to think it might be Ken Kelly, but the sig on Dan's art is certainly not his.
It was conveniently cropped off the original poster.

At one point I thought it might even have been a Frazetta because the bird circling above looks similar to one on a few of his pieces. I'm sure I've seen that triangular signature on another poster but I can't place it.

The Mad Max 2 poster was the first Aust printing done and as you see...it didn't go well.

They mixed up the character names on it as noted by Ari.

They did a second printing to correct this and they also fixed the border issue if I recall correctly.

They are very uncommon and it was the only one I have ever seen in approx 12 years of collecting online.

The Mad Max art....name escapes me at this moment..I will dig into my magic binder and see if I can find my notes.
I remember I did get the name...talked to "Commander" and he introduced me to "Stout"...and if memory serves me correct it was Stout who solved my mystery....man..that was years ago...give me a couple of days...

The Mad Max art and The Gauntlet art are two of my favs of all time....great great gun poses...other favs that come to mind...Vacation by Boris...and Blazing Saddles-all of these I have art only examples of....Other ones I like but don't have the posters for are..Galaxina and Deathsport....

These days I only have 1 movie poster on my walls...and you would never guess in a million years what movie it's for!

Here is another one of my art only posters. This was done by Frazetta for the film. I seem to remember Robert R wanted to use this art for the final one sheet...can't remember what happened but I seem to remember I have a pic somewhere that shows the original art/one sheet hanging in Robert's office...I saw the pic and went..."wow"...cool...

Loved the advance for Dusk till Dawn too...beware as there are lots of reprints out there for that one....originals were on fairly heavy stock...much like the Pulp Fictions.

brude · « **Reply #71 on:** April 25, 2012, 09:55:42 PM »

Absolutely love that Frazetta piece.
It's a

shame that it was never produced as a one sheet.
Thanks for sharing that pic, Dan!
