Reel: The Man Becomes Beast
Coming soonArchive note
Japanese theatrical poster for an alternate spy-thriller franchise starring Lee Majors as an intelligence operative alongside a Black male partner and a blonde female ally, with a trained falcon and looming predatory eyes dominating the composition. The katakana title and tagline ("A man becomes a beast") suggest a 1980s action film conceived for Asian markets, part of a lost cinematic universe that never reached Western distribution. Recovered from a Tokyo cinema archive, 1984. Speaks to collectors of spy fiction ephemera, international genre cinema, and alternate-history action entertainment.
