I agree. It looks like the inventory that used to be available from the many
commercial posters stores that thrived in the 80s and 90s.
KILL BILL seems to be the odd one out because of the date.
Isn't the rating of a film supposed to be on all US distributor-produced
paper these days?
I have a 40x60 BLUES BROTHERS from the time of the film. I'v never offered
it because even though it came from an ex-distributor mate's collection, I
was never able to completely verify exactly what it was. I guess it's kind
of fun if you like THE BLUES BROTHERS, but it's origins are murky and
doubtless commercial.

As I now look at the seller's other items, I'm thinking this one came from
a
package of (would-be?) commercial large format posters. It's not clear
how
they got they idea that they were "subway" posters. This KILL BILL is the
only one I've noticed that even resembles a real movie poster.

As a side note on the bus shelter speculation, US bus shelter posters are
typically ca. 4'x6', not 40x60, and no one would confuse them with regular
paper, even heavy stock. Shipping them or any 40x60 First Class, as this
seller promises to do, would also be something of a trick. If for some
reason I found myself seized with the desire to purchase one of these, I'd
want to know what he really intends to do about shipping.
I think that pretty much solves the "mystery," such as it is.
Thanks to all for the thoughts on the subject.

yes I forgot to mention bus shelter posters are that size, but I had
never seen a Kill Bill
but still.. all bus shelter posters I have gotten that were unused
were also wrapped in brown paper
the key there is what material it is printed on. Bus shelters are
those heavy plastic posters. If it's a paper poster.. definite crap

first of all, subway posters are horizontal (unless it's been
changed. I haven't been to NYC in 16 years)
second, his description says:
It's out of print original stock but new never hung and comes in its
original plastic sleeve. It will look sweet hanging on any wall
framed or not. So bid already and have a great day!
40x60s that I have gotten in recent years (from recent films) that
were unused were wrapped in brown paper

The seller has this "KILL BILL Subway Poster" in an obviously wrong
category
(repro/1980s), but apparently told one of our customers that it was
"found"
as is, encouraging hope that it's some kind of original. Anyone
have a good
idea WHAT it really is? I have some foggy recollection that
Moviegoods or
someone was making or offering to make large format repros.
