A 1981 Re-Release Theatrical Folded Australian One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 26 3/4" x 40" [68 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Mad Max, the classic 1979 (released in the U.S. in 1980, and released in Italy as "Interceptor") George Miller Australian post-apocalyptic action crime thriller ("The Maximum Force of the Future."; "When the gangs take over the highway... Remember he's on your side"; "The last law in a world gone out of control. Pray that he's out there somewhere."; "Music by Brian May"; "Written by James McCausland and George Miller") starring Mel Gibson (in the title role as Mad Max Rockatansky), Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne (as Toecutter), Steve Bisley, Tim Burns, and Roger Ward NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Australian movie! Also note that this movie had a very limited first release in 1979, and the one-sheets and daybills are a sort of purple color. When it became a big hit, a very limited number of orange posters were printed, and then "matte finish" blue posters were printed, all in 1979 (the matte finish blue posters were printed when the movie proved to be a hit, continuing to play in drive-ins!). There is some confusion as to what happened next. In addition to the "matte finish" blue posters, there are also glossy finish blue posters, and there are ones with MAPS information in the bottom border and ones that are blank in the bottom border. Some collectors feel that both of these glossy posters are from 1981, when the movie had a major re-release, and others are not so sure as to the date of either of them (the glossy ones with the printing in the bottom border could be from 1979, and the ones without the printing could be from 1981). To be on the safe side, we are listing this poster as being from the 1981 re-release, but when we first auctioned it in 2017, we listed it as being from 1979 (because that is what Australian experts told us at that time). If anyone knows more, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Please know that the one-sheet offered here is the glossy finish blue poster with the MAPS information printed in the bottom border. Condition: very good. There are some creases scattered through the poster with faint staining in the bottom left background area that slightly enters the letters of "Produced by". Otherwise the poster is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
