“Rocky III” (ロッキー3), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1982, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) N236

This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1982 for the first theatrical release of Rocky III, the third installment of Sylvester Stallone’s legendary boxing saga.

Released by United Artists in 1982, Rocky III continues the story of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), now the heavyweight champion of the world. When his title is threatened by the ferocious challenger Clubber Lang (Mr. T), Rocky must rediscover his fighting spirit. Featuring appearances from Stallone, Talia Shire, Carl Weathers, Burgess Meredith, and Hulk Hogan, the film is as much a pop-culture time capsule as it is a sports drama. Its soundtrack, including Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger,” became one of the most iconic themes of the 1980s.

Poster design
This striking Japanese B2 poster highlights Stallone’s intense presence in a bold monochrome portrait, contrasted against teal-green tones. Vertical bar-like elements cut through the composition, with supporting characters featured in smaller side frames. The Japanese title 「ロッキー3」 stands boldly beneath the central image, emphasizing the film’s iconic branding. Minimalist yet powerful, this design reflects both Rocky’s strength and his vulnerability.

It is over 43 years old!
