Date Sold 5/30/2013Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1982 Vintage Theatrical Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Mad Max 2 (released in the U.S. in 1982 as "The Road Warrior"), the 1981 George Miller Australian post-apocalyptic action thriller sequel ("Just one man can make a difference."; "In the future, cities will become deserts, roads will become battlefields and the hope of mankind will appear as a stranger."; "When all that's left is one last chance, pray that he's still out there ...somewhere!"; "Mad Max meets the challenge!"; "Written by Terry Hayes, George Miller with Brian Hannant"; "Music conducted and composed by Brian May") starring Mel Gibson (in the title role as Mad Max Rockatansky), Bruce Spence (as The Gyro Captain), Michael Preston (as Pappagallo), Max Phipps (as The Toadie), Vernon Wells (as Wez), Kjell Nilsson (as The Humungus), Emil Minty (as The Feral Kid), and Virginia Hey. Note that this movie was first released in Australia as a sequel to Mad Max, and was titled Mad Max 2. The movie was a giant hit and distributors wanted to release it in the U.S., but since the first movie had only had a very limited release in the U.S., they re-titled it so as to not confuse audiences (but they printed a limited number of international "Mad Max 2" one-sheets in the U.S., which are far more rare than the "The Road Warrior" U.S. one-sheets).

Important Added Info: Note that the collector who consigned this poster (and 17 others, mostly one-sheets and inserts, but also three others) had those 18 posters displayed in his home in a different way, but one that was highly effective for this collector. He brought the 18 posters to the "Museum Mount Gallery" in Los Angeles, California, and they took each of the posters and placed them on a 1/4" thick corrugated board that had a colored border around the edges, and they then shrink-wrapped the poster tightly and attached a sturdy cardboard hanging mount to the back. This allowed the collector to simply put a nail in the wall and then hang the poster on it, and there was no need for expensive framing. The poster will be sent to the new buyer exactly as the collector had it on his wall, with the shrink-wrap and the hanger on the back, so the new owner can immediately display it. Our consignor specifically requested that the posters be attached without adhesive (relying on the shrink wrap to keep the posters in place) and that 100% rag acid-free corrugated backing board be used. However, we know of cases where framers and gallery owners have NOT followed the instructions they were given, so it is possible that some of these posters ARE attached to the backing board, and it is also possible that some of the backing boards are not acid-free. We do not know if this poster is attached or not, because we do not want to open the shrink-wrap (because that would ruin the shrink-wrap) so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty of whether or not it is attached to the backing in any way. Please realize that this item will require shipping in a very large flat package. Condition: good to very good. The item has been 'museum mounted' (see above for a more detailed description of what that means). There are smudges and stains scattered throughout the outside of the shrink wrap covering and there are some scuff marks and minor creases throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
