“Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” (ロック、ストック＆トゥー・スモーキング・バレルズ), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1998, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O803

This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1998 for the first theatrical release of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Guy Ritchie’s explosive breakout crime caper.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (ロック、ストック＆トゥー・スモーキング・バレルズ), directed by Guy Ritchie, is a razor-sharp British crime comedy that helped define late-1990s London cinema. Released in 1998, the film follows four friends whose ill-fated card game leaves them in debt to a ruthless gangster—triggering a chaotic chain reaction of robberies, stolen shotguns, and intersecting underworld schemes. With its propulsive editing, dark humour, and sharply written dialogue, it launched Ritchie as a major new voice and helped introduce Jason Statham to the world.

Now firmly a cult classic, Lock, Stock remains a landmark of modern British genre filmmaking—stylish, fast, and endlessly quotable.

Poster design
This striking Japanese B2 is a bold, minimalist design anchored by a vivid yellow field and massive block typography—“LOCK STOCK” dominating the composition—paired with gritty black-and-white character imagery. A brooding portrait at the top-left and a three-face lineup along the bottom give it a hard-edged, street-noir feel, while the clean graphic layout makes it an exceptionally strong display piece once framed.

It is over 27 years old!
