Original Rockers Movie Posters

Rockers movie posters from Theodoros Bafaloukos's 1978 Jamaican reggae film are among the most collectible items in world music cinema — original theatrical paper from a film that captured Kingston's culture at peak creative and commercial momentum. The film follows Horsemouth, a Rastafarian drummer played by Leroy Wallace, as he pursues justice after his motorcycle is stolen, drawing the reggae community of Kingston into a Robin Hood-style caper. The cast includes a remarkable array of actual reggae musicians: Bunny Wailer, Gregory Isaacs, Jacob Miller, Burning Spear, and others performing versions of themselves. Shop original theatrical materials from this cult world cinema landmark. Rockers occupies a unique position in cinema history—simultaneously a narrative film, a reggae concert document, and an authentic portrait of Kingston's music culture in the late 1970s. Bafaloukos, a Greek-American filmmaker, embedded himself in the Jamaican music community to make a film that respects its subjects with an ethnographic intelligence rarely found in genre cinema. The soundtrack, featuring recordings made specifically for the production, captures the sound of roots reggae at its creative peak. Promotional materials for Rockers reflect the vivid visual culture of reggae design: the strong colour, the Rastafarian iconography, and the graphic energy that characterised Jamaican music promotion of the period. Original theatrical materials from this independently distributed film are genuinely scarce, as print runs were modest and the film reached most of its audience outside mainstream theatrical channels.
