Boyz N the Hood (1991) – Original UK Quad – “Worldwide Acclaim” Review Variant

Original UK Quad cinema poster for Boyz N the Hood (1991), written and directed by John Singleton in his remarkable feature debut. A Columbia Pictures presentation, released by Columbia Tri-Star Films (UK). Starring Ice Cube, Cuba Gooding Jr., Morris Chestnut, and Larry Fishburne as Furious. Music by Stanley Clarke. Official Selection, Cannes 1991. Cert 18.

This copy carries genuine Irish exhibition history. The certificate has been updated with an applied sticker to reflect the Irish Film Classification Board's own 18 rating, separate from the UK's BBFC certification shown underneath. On the verso, a handwritten distributor's instruction reads "ALL TO BE MARKED 18's," with "18's" circled — a note to cinema staff on how to prepare the batch for display. The poster was sourced from an Irish auction house.

This is the scarcer “Worldwide Acclaim” review quote variant — rather than the standard cast image design, this version leads with the bold headline Worldwide Acclaim above a column of critical pull quotes, including Roger Ebert’s ★★★★ Chicago Sun-Times review: “Academy Award material. It’s not a gang film or action film but a tremendously life-affirming story… a film of enormous relevance and impact.” Further quotes from The Independent, Daily Mail, Time Magazine, Newsweek, France’s Nouvel Observateur, and the German and Italian press. A colour cast photograph occupies the right half, with an album promotional roundel at lower right.

Format: UK Quad · Year: 1991 · Condition: Folded, presents very well with clean overall appearance and normal fold wear. Please review all photos carefully.
