Steve McQueen 'Bullitt' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Japanese, 1968

About the Item

In one of his most famous roles at the pinnacle of his career, Steve McQueen is the essence of cool as tough cop Frank Bullitt in this action-packed 1968 thriller, featuring one of movie history's most memorable and influential car chases through the streets of San Francisco. Issued for the film's original theatrical release in Japan, this scarce B2 poster is notable for featuring Bullitt's 1968 Highland Green Ford Mustang GT 390. First released in Japan in December 1968, the film was still in continuous release when it won an Academy Award in April 1969 and an updated poster design with an Oscar statuette was issued to theaters to capitalize on this. This is the more sought after pre-Academy Awards style without the Oscars notice. CONDITION Unfolded, not backed. Two horizontal waves to paper due to being softly tri-folded with a stack of other posters at one time. Some creasing to corners and edges, predominantly at the left edge of each 'wave'. Whisper of edge staining to upper left corner. The occasional light handling ding or small pressure crease throughout. Slight overall toning. Image and colours otherwise excellent.

Steve McQueen 'The Blob' Original Vintage Japanese B2 Movie Poster, 1965
Located in Devon, GB
A young Steve McQueen is pitched as the main event on this incredibly rare B2 poster for the first Japanese release of the cult drive-in era classic ‘The Blob’ in 1965, cashing in on the king of cool’s box office draw at the height of his popularity. A relative unknown only seven years prior, McQueen had not been pictured on anything but the theatrical lobby cards at the time of the original US release in 1958 and was credited as ‘Steven McQueen.’ Perfectly epitomising the schlock sci-fi B movie, ‘The Blob’ starred a 28-year old McQueen in his first leading role as a rebel teen who discovers the gelatinous alien invader wreaking havoc throughout his small Pennsylvania community and tries to warn the sceptical townspeople before it is too late. Distributed by Paramount as the B movie to ‘I Married a Monster...
