Big Trouble In Little China

Coming soon

Archive note

Japanese theatrical catalog insert for John Carpenter's 1986 cult action-fantasy, distributed by Golden Harvest in Japan. The poster isolates protagonist Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) alongside symbolic imagery—glowing emerald eyes and an ornate mystical amulet—suggesting the supernatural forces at play in San Francisco's Chinatown. Text indicates advance catalog ordering for theatrical exhibition. A rare artifact of how the film's genre-hybrid appeal was marketed across territories.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
