Steve McQueen 'On Any Sunday' Original Vintage Japanese B2 Movie Poster, 1972
About the Item
Cool as ever, squinting into the sun on his motorcycle, Steve McQueen is the main attraction on this full bleed photomontage poster for the first Japanese release of Bruce Brown’s infectious 1971 motorsport documentary ‘On Any Sunday.’ Following the worldwide success of his seminal surf documentary ‘The Endless Summer, Brown set out to capture the sport of motorcycling, its various disciplines and the free-spirited community shaping it, following stars of the sport including Malcolm Smith, Mert Lawwill and David Aldana. As a keen motorcyclist himself, McQueen not only agreed to feature in the film, but provided financial backing through his company Solar Productions. Acquiring impressive footage over thousands of miles using makeshift high-speed and helmet cameras in challenging conditions, Brown’s directorial artistry was evident. Film critic Roger Ebert applauded the documentary for doing “for motorcycle racing what ‘The Endless Summer’ did for surfing.” Widely regarded as the greatest motorcycle documentary ever made, ‘On Any Sunday’ received an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature and went a long way towards changing the perception of motorcyclists, as well as inspiring a new generation of fanatics.

View AllSteve 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...

'The Italian Job' Original Vintage Japanese B2 Movie Poster, 1969
Located in Devon, GB
An action-packed Japanese B2 poster for the 1969 British crime caper "The Italian Job," starring Michael Caine as cockney criminal Charlie Croker, fresh out of prison and planning a heist in Italy. Consistently voted one of the greatest ever British movies, the quintessential sixties film has become a cult favourite and a Classic of the heist genre, while Caine's famous one-liner "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" has taken on a life of its own. Despite receiving a Golden Globe nomination for Best English-Language Foreign Film, "The Italian Job" was not a success in America at the time of its release. Caine blamed its failure on a misleading marketing Campaign, explaining to Empire magazine that the US poster "was a naked woman and me. And I said, 'This is for kids. There aren't any naked women in it! We're going to get a load of old guys coming in to see naked women and they're going to be pissed off, and mums aren't going to bring their children.' They said, 'We're not going to change the poster,' so I got on a plane and came home." While utilizing the same elements as the US poster in a more diminutive form, this superb Japanese poster places its focus on the real stars of the movie - the red, white and blue mini coopers...
