An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Movie Poster (1sh; measures 23" x 35" [58 x 89 cm]) (Learn More) Super Ball, the 1976 Charles Edward sexploitation movie starring Michael Plamondon, Rene Bond, John Dennis, Alice Friedland, and Sandra Golden. This movie has a long and confusing history! Apparently, the bulk of it was shot in 1971 but a finished version, under the title of Hard Core Blues, was not submitted to the MPAA until 1974 and was only shown in one theater in Vermont. In 1976 it had a wide-release under the title of Super Ball. In 1977, it was scheduled to be released under the title of "The Model Killer" and ads claimed that "super rock star Linda Ronstadt" was making her film debut in it. However, it was instead released as part of multi-bill showings under the title "The Great Hollywood Rape-Slaughter" with newspaper ads still claiming that it starred Linda Ronstadt, and featuring an image of a man that resembled Tom Laughlin from the 1971 film Billy Jack. Online reviews suggest new footage of the "rape-slaughter" was tacked onto the end of the existing film which had already been re-edit multiple times, and it seems to go without saying that Tom Laughlin and Linda Ronstadt had nothing whatsoever to do with the movie, but that it was a marketing ploy. Poster material from any of the incarnations of this movie is incredibly rare! If anyone knows more about any of this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster measures 23" x 35" [58 x 89 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Condition: good. The theater that used this poster took two ads for it (likely from a pressbook) and taped them to the top and bottom solid black areas with clear tape on the front of all four borders. There are some noticeable creases in the title area (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
