This is an original Japanese B2 movie poster printed in 1984 for the first Japanese theatrical release of Bachelor Party (バチェラー・パーティ), a United States comedy directed by Neal Israel, starring Tom Hanks, with Tawny Kitaen and Adrian Zmed.
Film background
Released in 1984, Bachelor Party is a quintessential early-’80s raunchy studio comedy—an escalating “one night only” chaos scenario built around a bachelor party that spins wildly out of control. It’s also an early starring vehicle for Tom Hanks, capturing him just before his major late-’80s breakthrough, and remains a time-capsule of 1980s party-comedy sensibilities and pop-culture humour.
Poster design
A bold, high-impact Japanese B2 that sells the premise instantly: a glamorous foreground of fishnet-clad legs stretches across the frame, while Hanks stands centre in a tux, caught between two contrasting women—one in red, one in bridal white—like a visual punchline about temptation and commitment. A small inset photo of the male friend group amplifies the “party” energy, while the playful Japanese copy across the top (“party climax” / “can’t eat delicious bologna?” style gag line) gives it a distinctly Japanese marketing flavour. The title 「バチェラー・パーティ」 is rendered in colourful, celebratory script at the base—pure 1980s comedic packaging.
