If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that most of the advertising for this movie is extremely disappointing, because they are primarily text posters with the title against a black background. But this one-sheet has a great close image of Carl Weathers and Sylvester Stallone fighting it out in the ring! Note that this is one of 113 unfolded one-sheets in this Part III of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction that were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson (we auctioned 993 of his folded one-sheets in Part I of this auction, and we will auction the last 200 or so of his folded one-sheets in Part IV). Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, 113 of the unfolded one-sheets in this Part III come from this more remarkable collection. This is a very rare opportunity to purchase great unfolded one-sheets from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Condition: good. There is slight discoloration scattered in some areas of the poster from exposure to moisture (it is mostly noticeable in the blank borders, however there are a few other small areas as well.) There are a few fine creases scattered in some areas. There is a small tear at upper center with very small paper loss in the blank border. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
