"Dirty Harry" (ダーティハリー), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1972, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O471

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed for the first domestic release (1972) of Don Siegel’s Dirty Harry, starring Clint Eastwood in his career-defining role as Inspector Harry Callahan. A gritty, San Francisco-set policier that helped codify the modern action thriller and sparked a long-running franchise.

Design
A triptych of urban menace and cool resolve: left, the Scorpio sniper poised on a rooftop; right, Eastwood mid-stride with the iconic .44 Magnum; below, a downtown car smash freezes the moment of impact. Clean Roman credits pair with a huge, brush-stroked Japanese title 「ダーティハリー」—a stark red banner of attitude—while “Clint Eastwood / Dirty Harry” prints in English for instant recognition.

Cult status / film notes
A cornerstone of ’70s American cinema, the film stirred debate over vigilantism even as it revitalized the cop genre. Lalo Schifrin’s jazz-funk score and Eastwood’s laconic line-delivery became pop-culture fixtures; original Japanese materials remain highly sought by Eastwood and neo-noir collectors alike.
