The Exterminator (1980) set of 7 Press Photos

These eight press photos were part of the marketing campaign intended for the press. A couple of the press photos have not been seen earlier and haven´t been used as lobby cards. Above we have a photo of John Eastland (Robert Ginty) armed to the teeth with a sub-machine gun, an assault rifle and a 44 Magnum revolver in a shoulder holster. It appears that this is not a complete set as the press photos are numbered and the last photo (Ginty with the young man) is numbered Ext-14, I hope to be able to locate more press photos from this set.

The Exterminator (1980) Set of 6 Black and white Photos from Lebanon marketing material

Not sure if these photos were intended to be used as promotional material in the movie theaters or for use in the Lebanese press. There are needle marks, there is quite a bit of patina so they have been on display sometime and somewhere. There is a censor stamp in the bottom edge of each photo.I n this set there are two photos not seen among the lobby cards set from West Germany, France and Lebanon. In the first photo Michael Jefferson (Steve James) comes to the rescue of John Eastland (Robert Ginty) who has been cornered by "The Ghetto Ghouls".

In preparation for his visit to the Chicken Place John Eastland (Robert Ginty) opens his cache of weapons, picking a 44 Magnum revolver for the job, he has already prepared special six revolver cartridges by drilling holes in the bullets and filling them with mercury.

The Exterminator (1980) Lebanese Lobby Card set

In this blog entry I´m sharing my set of lobby cards from Lebanon, there is a Lebanese Censor stamp on the bottom edge of each lobby card. I´m not sure if this set is complete. The lobby cards have noticeable patina, needle marks, creased corners and it is obvious that they have been used in movie theaters perhaps several times as there are several needle marks in the corners of the cards. Four of the six cards show pictures from the Vietnam footage. None of the images in this lobby card set have been used in the West German och French sets.  In the first  lobby card (above) we see Michael Jefferson (Steve James) coming to the rescue of John Eastland (Robert Ginty) who is being attacked by "The Ghetto Ghouls" after catching them stealing cases of beer. It is this that sets off a series of events that turns Eastland into a vigilante.
