ESCAPE 2000 (TURKEY SHOOT) 1982 - Paper Movie Poster: Design Description

The poster for Escape 2000, the U.S. release of the Australian cult classic Turkey Shoot, explodes with a visual energy that perfectly captures the film's gritty exploitation spirit. Dominated by a dynamic composition, the design uses a bold, almost chaotic approach to convey the film's themes of survival and brutal entertainment.

Artwork & Visual Elements

The central figure is often a silhouetted figure running, perhaps representing the prisoners desperately trying to escape the deadly "turkey shoot." This central figure is often contrasted with a menacing figure. The color palette typically leans towards a fiery, hellish aesthetic, with shades of red, orange, and black dominating the design. These colors contribute to the sense of danger and violence.

The title "ESCAPE 2000" is emblazoned across the top of the poster in a blocky, impactful font, clearly establishing the film's futuristic setting. The title's placement ensures immediate recognition, grabbing the viewer's attention and establishing the film's identity.

Meaning & Symbolism

The poster's design is heavily symbolic, hinting at the film's dystopian themes. The chaotic composition reflects the lawless, brutal world in which the film is set. The emphasis on the chase conveys the film's central premise: the desperate flight of the hunted. The overall look and feel of the design promise a wild and violent ride, preparing the viewer for the exploitation experience that awaits.

Premium matte paper posters printed on museum-grade archival stock (175 g/m²). Designed for indoor display, these prints deliver precise color, fine detail and long-term stability — allow a small production tolerance of ±1/16".

These posters are printed on archival museum-grade paper that feels substantial in the hand and holds ink very well. At 175 g/m² the sheet is heavy enough to lie flat in a frame but still easy to handle when framing or mounting.

We print with pigmented, archival inks that emphasize tonal range and protect against quick fading. The matte surface soaks up light rather than reflecting it, which helps textures and subtle color shifts read naturally under indoor lighting.

  • Paper: museum-grade archival matte, 175 g/m² — sturdy, low-reflection surface for artwork fidelity.
  • Inks: pigmented archival inks for accurate, long-lasting color reproduction.
  • Finish: matte — reduces glare and keeps detail visible under common indoor lights.
  • Use: intended for indoor display only; avoid prolonged direct sunlight and damp areas.
  • Tolerance: small production variance (typically ±1/16") is normal; framers account for this routinely.

These posters work well in living rooms, bedrooms, studies and office spaces — anywhere you want printed art that reads clearly without distracting reflections. The matte surface is especially useful beneath spotlights or ceiling fixtures.

  1. Pick a spot: choose a wall away from long periods of direct sun and high humidity to keep pigments stable.
  2. Frame or mount: the paper’s weight pairs nicely with common frames and matting; if using a mat, leave a small gap to account for the ±1/16" tolerance.
  3. Arrangement tip: for groupings, place larger pieces at eye level and allow 4–6" between frames to avoid visual clutter.

Practical note: if you plan to float the print in a frame, check the frame rabbet size against the print dimensions and allow for the small manufacturing variance.

Keep prints looking fresh with light, occasional care. Dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If a mark needs attention, dab very lightly with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately — do not rub hard.

Avoid ammonia-based cleaners and abrasive pads; they can harm paper and inks. For long-term preservation, consider framing behind glass or acrylic and keeping the piece out of humid rooms.

Posters are offered in multiple standard sizes. Listed dimensions refer to the print area (width × height). Because of the production and cutting process, expect a small variance — typically within ±1/16".

If matching multiple prints or ordering custom framing, measure the final framed dimensions and allow a small margin for this manufacturing tolerance to ensure a good fit.
