Serbian poster for Stunt Rock

Year

This Serbian poster – a classic, trippy ‘70s visual – is for Brian Trenchard-Smith's Stunt Rock (1978), or Kaskaderi i Rokeri (Stunts and Rockers). It perfectly captures the movie’s essence: death-defying stunts by legendary Aussie stunt guru Grant Page paired with the spellbinding rock music of the band Sorcery.
The image lives up to the trailer’s promise of Stunt Rock being ‘superhuman, super music, super magic and super amazing’.
Trenchard-Smith has said that the idea for the film came to him in 1977 with the basic concept of: 'Famous stuntman meets famous rock group. Much stunt, much rock. The kids will go bananas.'
The poster has a bold design with the central figure forming a dynamic X figure across the image. The flaming film title only adds to the drama. Ultimately this simple design works to attract and hold the viewer's attention.
