Rocky (1976)
An exceptionally rare first-release US One Sheet for Rocky (1976), Sylvester Stallone’s underdog masterpiece that punched its way into film history. Designed in striking black & white minimalism, this poster focuses not on the fight but on Rocky and Adrian hand in hand, a reminder that this was as much a love story as it was a boxing drama.
Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture, Rocky became the blueprint for the sports film and a cultural phenomenon, inspiring sequels, spin-offs, and generations of dreamers. The tagline “His whole life was a million-to-one shot” perfectly captured both the character and Stallone himself, who went from struggling actor to global superstar on the back of this film.
These are authentic, cinema-used posters, printed to promote the film’s original cinema release. Their sole purpose was to draw audiences to the box office, they were never intended for long-term preservation. Most were discarded after the film’s run, making surviving originals like this incredibly scarce and highly prized by collectors.
