King Kong remains one of the greatest titles. All original posters are highly prized. This Czech poster depicts the classic climatic scene from the film, with Kong standing on top of the Empire State Building, grasping Fay Wray in one hand, and a plane in the other.


Exceptionally rare Czechoslovakian poster, that has only surfaced a few times.


A perfect blend of adventure, science fiction and horror, King Kong is the ultimate monster movie. Willis O'Brien's use of stop-motion effects was ground breaking for the time, and remains legendary. The film blew audiences away and broke all previous box-office records.
