More about this item:
UK Quad poster for the Blaxploitation thriller "Gordon's War" (1973), this being a rare unfolded example of the poster.
This is a scarce Chantrell title (this illustration is more commonly found as part of a double-bill with "Blindman") for this film about some Vietnam vets taking on the bad guys of Harlem. The image of the colliding cars bears more than a passing resemblance to Chantrell's illustration for "Bullitt" (1968) & is similar again to "Vanishing Point" (1971). As a commercial artist, Chantrell was perfectly happy to "borrow" ideas from his previous compositions.
The poster would be graded "excellent" but there are several edge tears (longest 2") which have been stabilised with conservation tape. Overall still in very good condition & unfolded!
