A truly rare poster and the first time Prop Store have offered this style for sale. A poster that effectively puts you in the ring with Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) and Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). This is a huge billboard-sized 24-Sheet for "Rocky II" (1979). Known as the 'fight' style, it is undoubtedly impressive and considered by many fans to be one the best sports-themed posters ever produced. Offered unrestored and folded (as issued), it comes in eight sections as it would have been distributed to cinemas. Unused (we would normally say likely unused, but this was designed to be pasted to a surface), it presents to excellent effect with only light age wear from folding.

9' x 20' (2.75 x 6.1 metres)

Additional Information: Issued to cinemas in 8 x sections, designed to be slightly over-lapped.

Condition: Excellent

Unrestored, folded (as issued). Likely never used with minimal handling and fold line wear.

Artist: Unknown Artist

£400 - 600

VAT Status: M
