Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]

Both the above posters were printed for the U.S.A., with the American distributor New Line Cinema credited on both posters. I believe that the above first featured black background image is only advance pre release artwork printed before the second above official release titled changed one sheet was produced. I will hold back on revealing some other information to support this, hoping firstly that I hear from anyone agreeing or disagreeing with this thinking.

Isn't this just another example of what already know? Aussie posters are nuts:

Re: John’s Nail Biting Announcement…
Its not overprinted. If you compare the cloud at the top left on both posters, you can see where that is slightly cropped on the shorter version. So, about one inch has been cropped leaving the "...Remember he's on your side" text closer to the top heading text. They are two different printings.dedeposter said:Is the text of "...Remember he's on your side" (and don't get me started on the punctuation of that line!), Is it overprinted with white ink, or is it the absence of blue ink that creates the text? If it's white ink then it may have been added in a separate pass and been slightly misaligned during a second pass through the printer (but still doesn't answer other differences).

I had mentioned that it was an advertising block. The interesting thing is the positioning of the car on the add block that makes the artwork much more effective than that was used on the daybill. The top section of the daybill to my thinking is only ordinary at best.dedeposter said:Looks like those images on the Press Sheet are "ADVERTISING BLOCKS AS ILLUSTRATED" as mentioned in the accessories section. My thought on not having a one sheet is that this is a limited release (as mentioned it only screened in one Melbourne cinema), I assume Sydney would be the same, so the cost of doing multiple formats wouldn't be justified.
.

The BEF released version was screened in Canberra ACT on 7 May 1975 and again on 4 December 1975.,
Being a major distributor in Australia one would think a one sheet would have been printed.
Is as they say the film didn't fare well at the box office why then did GUO (formally BEF) then produce lobby cards two years later in 1976, one has to wonder.
