“Bullitt” (ブリット), Original Japanese Re-release Movie Poster 1974, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA725

This is an original Japanese B2 poster issued in Japan for the 1974 theatrical re-release of Bullitt (1968), Peter Yates’s landmark neo-noir action thriller starring Steve McQueen at the absolute peak of his cool. Set in San Francisco and driven by procedural grit, jazz-inflected atmosphere, and McQueen’s minimal, magnetic screen presence, Bullitt became one of the defining American crime films of the late 1960s—immortalised by its legendary car chase through the city’s hills and its hard-edged, modernist tone. A true cornerstone title for collectors of McQueen, 1960s cinema, and classic action.

Poster design

A superb Japanese re-release one-sheet that distils the film into pure iconography. The design is dominated by an intense close-up of McQueen’s face—cool blue eyes, tight expression—surrounded by high-energy collage elements: a speeding Mustang, the underground chase silhouette, gun-in-hand Bullitt, and supporting cast imagery. Across the bottom, the huge red Japanese title 「ブリット」 hits like a stamp—bold, graphic, and exceptionally frame-friendly. Period copy sells McQueen’s “cool man” charisma and the film’s relentless pursuit energy, while the layout’s torn-paper collage aesthetic feels perfectly aligned with the era’s hard, modern crime style. It’s a classic 1970s Japanese re-release design for one of the most influential thrillers ever made.
