Rare Dirty Harry Triple Bill Quad
Well, here is something you don’t see every day. This incredibly rare UK quad was recently picked up by a buddy of mine, and second in command here on the Archive, Davy Triumph. This lovely poster was probably printed up by the cinema management for a short run (possibly even One night on a weekend). I remember we use to get Eastwood all night shows on a Saturday Night / Sunday Morning at our local ABC, but very rarely would there ever be an elaborately produced poster such as this – it was just a case of checking the local press to see if there was an all-night Bruce Lee show or perhaps a Russ Meyer marathon on any particular weekend…
The quad, featuring Dirty Harry, Magnum Force and The Enforcer is believed to date from 1983, which makes perfect sense as it was probably put together to cash in on the recent fourth film in the series, Sudden Impact.
I’ve carried out some very minor restoration to this image of the poster – just in order to show it close to its former glory and how it would have appeared over 40 years ago. Our kind thanks to Davy Triumph for sharing this great image.
