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.

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...
