“G.I. Samurai” (戦国自衛隊), Original Japanese Theatrical Poster 1979, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O241

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1979 for the first Japanese release of G.I. Samurai (戦国自衛隊). A genuine cinema display sheet produced for theatres in Japan.

Film background
A cult time-slip action epic: a squad of Japan Self-Defense Force soldiers—tanks, helicopters and all—are hurled back to the Sengoku (Warring States) period and clash with feudal warlords. Starring Sonny Chiba and directed by Kōsei Saitō, the film blends military hardware with samurai warfare and became a cornerstone of late-’70s Japanese sci-fi action.

Poster design
Iconic, kinetic photography: blue-bannered samurai cavalry charge straight toward the camera as a turbine-blur helicopter and JSDF armor thunder behind them, kicking up battlefield dust. A stark white tagline streaks across the horizon, while the massive red title 「戦国自衛隊」 slams along the base—pure, high-impact display at B2 scale.
