LOS ANGELES TIMES, Sept. 7, 1986 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf), serving as a rare piece of cinematic ephemera, highlighted by an original vintage print advertisement announcing the opening day release of  "AVENGING FORCE" starring Michael Dudikoff on one of the pages. (see images).

In addition to the featured movie ad, which captures the era's distinct theatrical promotional graphics and classic key art, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment and pop culture. Printed on authentic newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal piece for custom framing, film history display, or inclusion in a dedicated cinema memorabilia collection.

Background: Avenging Force (1986) stands as a crown jewel in the Cannon Films catalog, distinguished by its surprisingly dark, high-stakes narrative—a brutal modern inversion of The Most Dangerous Game that pit Michael Dudikoff and Steve James against a shadowy, white-supremacist paramilitary syndicate known as "The Pentangle." What elevates the film to cult status among genre enthusiasts is its exceptionally kinetic and visceral action choreography, particularly the famously harrowing final act set in the dark, cold swamps of Louisiana, where Dudikoff's character is hunted by masked elites in hand-to-hand and melee combat. This intense presentation was so severe that it originally received an X rating from the MPAA for excessive violence before being trimmed for an R rating in theaters. For collectors and physical media archivists, Avenging Force has achieved a reputation for significant scarcity; after decades of limited, out-of-print VHS and DVD availability, its limited-edition Blu-ray releases—most notably Kino Lorber’s licensed physical pressings—quickly sold out and went out of print, driving second-hand prices up drastically and making complete, original physical copies an increasingly rare and sought-after Holy Grail for 1980s action cinema collectors.
