Big Trouble In Little China — Japanese Theatrical

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A Japanese promotional catalog cover for John Carpenter's 1986 cult adventure film, featuring Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) in characteristic squint, alongside close-up details of the film's mystical artifact and supernatural iconography. The layout mimics the fragmented, collage-based style of 1980s Japanese cinema advertising, with kanji text urging immediate catalog orders. Recovered from a Golden Harvest distribution archive in Tokyo; speaks to collectors of Asian exploitation cinema and international genre film ephemera.
