If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned five British quads from this movie, but we have never before auctioned this pre-awards British quad!

Note that this is an unusual British quad in that it shows the climax of the very exciting and very long chase scene in the movie. One would wonder why they would feature that scene in a lobby card intended to be displayed to people entering the movie, thus ruining the suspense of the scene!
