Original Raging Bull Movie Posters

Raging Bull movie posters from Scorsese's 1980 boxing drama rank among the most sought items in contemporary drama collecting, with original theatrical material from this black-and-white masterpiece. Shot in black and white at De Niro's insistence — a formal decision that aligns the film's visual vocabulary with the period's boxing photographs rather than with contemporary color cinema — Raging Bull produced a theatrical campaign as severe and formally controlled as the film itself.

United Artists' campaign uses black-and-white photography of De Niro in the ring — hands raised, sweat-sheened, expression unreadable — against minimal text that trusts the image entirely. The design's refusal of conventional promotional color is a direct extension of the film's formal choices, making the campaign materials unusually coherent as objects. US one-sheets from the 1980 release are particularly sought by collectors who prize formal intelligence in campaign design. International materials offer contrasting approaches: French grandes affiches maintain the black-and-white severity; Italian foglio prints add more graphic energy; British quad versions use a wider composition that shifts the formal weight. Japanese B2 variants carry their own distinctive interpretation of De Niro's physical transformation.

Available in US one-sheets, French grandes affiches, Italian foglio, British quads, and Japanese B2 formats. Condition runs Fine to Very Fine. Original US one-sheets from the 1980 United Artists release are now scarce and seldom encountered in fine flat condition.
