Available · one owner only

Archive note

John Carpenter's 1986 action-fantasy film as it appeared in Japanese theatrical distribution, featuring Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) in profile across multiple panels with period-appropriate hand-painted illustration. The poster advertises concurrent merchandise tie-ins—action figures, die-cast vehicles—indicating a coordinated marketing push that never materialized beyond the domestic market. Collectors of international film ephemera and 1980s East Asian pop-culture crossovers.
