“Rush Hour” (ラッシュアワー), Original Japanese Movie Poster 1998 First Release, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O184

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1998 for the first domestic theatrical release of Rush Hour (USA, 1998), directed by Brett Ratner and starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. First-issue Japanese country sheets for late-1990s Hollywood action-comedies are highly collectible.

Film background
Hong Kong super-cop Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) is paired with fast-talking L.A. detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) to rescue a Chinese consul’s kidnapped daughter. East-meets-West banter, Chan’s inventive stunt work, and brisk buddy-cop pacing propelled the film to worldwide box-office success and spawned a hit franchise.

Poster design
A bold, high-energy country sheet split in red and yellow with full-length portraits of Chan (arms folded) and Tucker (kung-fu pose) over a city skyline. Large metallic logotype 「ラッシュアワー」 anchors the base, with copy lines touting U.S. box-office records and star billing in white banners. Credits along the footer include New Line Cinema with GAGA/HUMAX release—classic hallmarks of an authentic first-release Japanese theatrical sheet with strong wall presence.
