Collectors’ Note: The Long Riders holds a unique place in cinema history, with real-life brothers (Carradine, Keach, Quaid, and Guest families) portraying the legendary James-Younger gang. Australian daybills for this film are moderately scarce and appreciated for their authentic sepia-style artwork and connection to Walter Hill’s stylised Western revival era. Highly desirable for collectors of modern Westerns and fans of 1980s cult cinema.
