An Original Vintage 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, and we have only auctioned it three times before (and the last example sold for $1,185)! 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 the play in drive-ins!). In 1981, the movie had a major re-release, and glossy blue posters were printed for that re-release (and the re-release one-sheet does not have "MAPS" in the bottom-right corner, but the re-release daybill does). Condition: fair to good. There are many pieces of tape and/or tape stains and other stains around the edges, but fortunately most are in the blank borders. There is paper loss in the blank corners where tape was roughly removed. There are two stains to the right of Gibson's hair that shows through to the front. There are a few pinholes around the edges of the image background and there are creases scattered through the poster. Obviously a talented restorer can "rescue" this poster (and it is fortunate that most of the defects are in the blank borders) but bear all of the above in mind before bidding.
