'The Terminator' Original Vintage Movie Poster by Milan Pecák, Czech, 1990

About the Item

Along with Jakub Erol's stylized design for the Polish release, celebrated Czech artist Milan Pecák's imposing illustration of Arnold Schwarzenegger as 'The Terminator' is one of the finest and most sought after posters created for the seminal 1984 sci-fi blockbuster. Displaying a similarity to the work of Swiss sci-fi artist H.R. Giger, who was responsible for the visual design of Ridley Scott's 'Alien,' the ghostly monochrome X-ray of the Terminator's mechanical endoskeleton is accented by the color-pop red of his cybernetic eye beaming the model number CSM-101 and the electronic circuitry in Arnie's exposed cranium. The critically acclaimed film launched Director James Cameron's career and cemented Schwarzenegger's, despite his only uttering 74 words of rudimentary dialogue as the time-travelling cyborg assassin. This Czech poster was issued in both a large and small format. This is the small format version of the poster.

'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Czech, 1978
Located in Devon, GB
A fantastically bizarre poster by Jan Weber for the first Czech release of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Although Western films were shown during the Soviet era in the Communist Bloc, American publicity materials were banned, allowing the state-commissioned artists to operate with total creative freedom from the demands of the big Hollywood studios, offering quirky and sometimes surreal interpretations which often had little reference to the film. Weber's intense halftone design featuring a triplicate of manic Jack Nicholson faces is presumably a nod to insanity and multiple personality disorders. Based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Ken Kesey...
