Movie Synopsis
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) is the explosive fourth instalment in the internationally acclaimed action franchise that has redefined modern action cinema. Directed by Chad Stahelski and written by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch, the film expands the mythology of the High Table while delivering some of the most ambitious and visually spectacular action sequences ever committed to film.
Following the events of the previous chapter, legendary assassin John Wick, portrayed once again by Keanu Reeves, continues his relentless quest for freedom from the High Table. Having survived countless assassination attempts, Wick discovers that defeating his enemies will require confronting an even more powerful and influential adversary. Standing in his path is the ruthless Marquis Vincent de Gramont, played by Bill Skarsgård, who uses his authority within the High Table to eliminate anyone who supports Wick's rebellion.
As John travels across the globe, audiences are treated to breathtaking locations including Osaka, Berlin, Paris and New York. Along the way he reunites with familiar allies including Winston (Ian McShane), the enigmatic manager of the Continental Hotel, and the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), whose underground intelligence network continues to challenge the High Table's authority.
The film introduces several memorable new characters that quickly became fan favourites. Donnie Yen stars as Caine, a blind assassin and former friend of John who is reluctantly forced into conflict with him. Martial arts legend Hiroyuki Sanada plays Shimazu Koji, manager of the Osaka Continental, while Rina Sawayama makes an impressive feature film debut as Akira. Scott Adkins, almost unrecognisable beneath extensive prosthetics, delivers a standout performance as the crime boss Killa, while Clancy Brown portrays the Harbinger, the High Table's mysterious representative.
Renowned for its practical stunt work, intricate choreography and long takes, John Wick: Chapter 4 raises the bar even higher than its predecessors. The spectacular fight sequence filmed from an overhead perspective using dragon's breath shotgun ammunition quickly became one of the film's most talked-about scenes, while the gruelling staircase battle leading to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris has already become iconic among action film enthusiasts.
The production required months of preparation, with Keanu Reeves once again undertaking extensive firearms and combat training alongside the film's elite stunt performers. Director Chad Stahelski, himself a former stunt coordinator and Reeves' stunt double during The Matrix films, continued the franchise's commitment to authentic action, favouring practical effects and carefully choreographed sequences over excessive CGI. This dedication to craftsmanship has earned the series widespread praise from both critics and audiences.
Upon release, John Wick: Chapter 4 became the highest-grossing film of the franchise and received universal acclaim for its breathtaking visuals, emotional storytelling, outstanding performances and innovative action design. Many critics described it as one of the greatest action films ever made, cementing John Wick's place as one of modern cinema's most enduring action heroes.
For collectors, this Original Advance One Sheet Movie Poster represents an outstanding piece of contemporary movie memorabilia from one of the defining action franchises of the 21st century. Combining bold artwork with the enduring popularity of Keanu Reeves and the John Wick series, it is an exceptional display piece for fans of action films and serious movie poster collectors alike.

While the industry does have a few condition rating standards, there is no movie poster condition rating system that has become the accepted standard world wide. This unfortunately makes condition terms vary from movie poster dealer to movie poster dealer. Terms like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, seem to be universal to most condition rating standards, but most standards still lack definition about what and how many flaws/defects/damage defines a specific condition level. For more information on how Movie Posters Australia grades the condition of its movie posters, daybills, lobby cards and other ephemera please see out Movie Poster Condition and Grading page.
In the early days of cinema, posters were primarily hand-drawn and printed in various sizes, often tailored to fit the available space in theaters or promotional areas. In the United States, the "One Sheet" size (some times called '1 Sheet' or '1SH' approximately 27" x 41", became the standard during the 1930s. This size was manageable for theater display and suited the needs of a growing film industry.
Different countries developed their own poster sizes and styles, which also changed sometimes over the decades, and were influenced by local preferences and practical considerations, like available paper sheet sizes and how many posters could be printed on one sheet.
In Australia, the most popular size, the Daybill, has evolved over the decades. Australian Daybills sizes in chronological order are:
- Long Daybills (15" x 40"), from 1920's to pre-WW2 or pre-1941, were printed two to a sheet, longer than current Daybill versions. There were size variances in width from 14.5" to 15" and in height from 39.5" to 40".
- War Time Daybill (10" x 30"), during WW2, for a short time to conserve paper during a war time shortage, four Daybills were printed on one sheet. Information from Press Sheets also referred to these War-Time sizes as "New Size Daybills".
- Post-War Daybill (13" x 30"), this 13" x 30" Post-War size carried through until the 1980's, but also varied in size from 13"-14" x 29.75"-30.25".
- Post-80's Daybill (33cm x 66cm, or 13" x 26"), over a few years in the late 80's, the size changed again to a metric 33cm x 66cm, although these have also varied from 32-33cm x 64.5-66cm. New sizes from the late 80's were created, sometimes called a Mini Daybill or Mini Poster, in 9" x 12", 11" x 17" and 13" x 20".
In the UK, the somewhat unique 'Quad' poster, measuring 30" x 40", became popular, offering a larger landscape format that allowed for more elaborate designs.
In Japan, movie poster sizes were smaller, such as the "B2" (20" x 28"), which suited the more compact living environment of larger cities, smaller advertising spaces, and unique aesthetic sensibilities.
The 1970s and 1980s, witnessed the rise of the "six-sheet" (81" x 81") format, reflecting a trend towards larger and more visually impactful advertising.
Overall, the variation in movie poster sizes across different countries and decades highlights the interplay between technological printing advancements, paper resource availability, paper sheet size changes, cultural preferences, and the evolving nature of movie marketing.
At Movie Posters Australia we tag each poster we sell with a 'size' and 'condition' description at the very top of the page for our customers to easily see. There may however be some slight variations to sizes by up one inch due to variations in production and guillotine methods by printers over the decades.
