Thought these are pretty fantastic.
Patrick did his due diligence on this one. He put in over 200 hours of work on it and watched the movie 10 times to get all the right references. Patrick is once again working with the fine folks over at Hero Complex Gallery on releasing these prints and they will go onsale on their WEBSITE on Wednesday, May 14th at a random time. Follow HCG on TWITTER and FACEBOOK to find out exactly when.

I really like this poster, but I'm not crazy about the colors. Great movie though and the likenesses are pretty spot on.

This film is a real guilty pleasure. I'm pretty sure the flares were also green in the film.

Absolutely no guilt in my love for this movie.

"Well Womack, looks like you're caught between The Rock and a hard case ... ... ... how's your bowling arm?"

As for the print ... I'd need to see the actual product, not feeling the jpegs.

And indeed, for someone that did 200 hours of research, seems like a sizable miss to refer to the FLARES as orange.

I have seen the first one, and own it. It's definitely up there, but The Rock is so over the top and fun I find it more entertaining overall. Plus I've been watching it since it came out when I was like 10 so it has the nostalgia factor too. Can't wait to see The Raid 2 though.

Just re-watched The Rock a year back with the wife. Great action flick. Poster is kick-ass too.
