One-Sheet (27" x 41") Autographed by John Carpenter
Very Fine- Folded; Artist Drew Struzan
20th Century Fox, 1986

The poster for John Carpenter's Big Trouble In Little China is the perfect amalgamation of everything that makes the film itself so memorable. Sorcery, mysticism, martial arts, good vs. evil, and Kurt Russell's bumbling would-be-hero Jack Burton right in the middle of everything. But adding to this, Drew Struzan's original one-sheet is an authentic autograph from director Carpenter.

A terrific poster; this one has some wear, including some edge tears on the lower right and left, some crimping in the lower area, a vertical center tear reinforced with archival tape on the verso, and some minor chipping in the upper right corner. Plus, while writing is on the back, there is no bleed-through.

John Carpenter's supernatural martial-arts-movie channelling action adventure was a commercial failure, but thanks to its impressive visuals and a brilliantly tongue-in-cheek performance by Kurt Russell as lunky action hero Jack Burton, it's since found a fervent following.

Estimate: $400 - 800
