Vintage Impact Cinema Magazine No. 15 Mad Movies Arnold 80s Retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

A specialized film magazine, this issue 15 of Impact is presented under the banner "Mad Movies presents", identifiable by the logo at the top left of the cover. The front cover features a color photographic portrait of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, dressed in a military uniform, holding a weapon, a nod to the film "Red Heat". The visual is emblematic of action and genre cinema of the late 1980s, a period to which the magazine clearly relates through its graphic aesthetic, its color codes (black background, bright yellow and red titles) and the typical layout of the era.

The cover announces several features and columns dedicated to cult fantastic and police films: "Red Heat", "Action Jackson", "Friday the 13th", "Emmanuelle", and "Beetlejuice". Catchy titles in capital letters alternate between bright red and yellow, reinforcing the visual dynamism. The Impact logo, composed of a stylized target, is clearly visible to the left of the main title.

At the bottom right are the barcode, the magazine number (no. 15), the original price (20.00 F), and the prices for Belgium, Canada, and Spain, as well as the reference M 3226. The spine of the magazine, visible on the left side, shows a stapled binding typical of periodical publications of this period. No major defects are visible on this side; the cover has a glossy appearance and well-preserved colors.

The layout and themes covered are characteristic of specialized film magazines of the 80s, with a selection of popular films and a tone resolutely oriented towards genre cinema (fantasy, horror, action). The magazine format appears standard, with no specific dimensions indicated.
