“Predator” (プレデター), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1987, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA934

This is an original Japanese B2 movie poster printed in 1987 for the first Japanese theatrical release of Predator (プレデター), a United States action/sci-fi thriller directed by John McTiernan, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, with Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, and Bill Duke (with Sonny Landham).

Film background
Released in 1987, Predator is one of the defining action films of the decade—beginning as a classic jungle commando mission before pivoting into science-fiction horror when an unseen extraterrestrial hunter starts picking the team off one by one. The film’s blend of muscular 1980s action, escalating suspense, and iconic creature design made it an instant classic and a cornerstone of modern genre cinema.

Poster design
A powerhouse Japanese B2 built around Schwarzenegger’s star presence and the film’s primal intensity. The central image is a close-up of Schwarzenegger in tactical gear, weapon raised, skin slick with sweat and jungle grime—set against an abstract, heat-scorched background that suggests chaos and unseen threat. Bold yellow top copy announces the start of the “hunt,” while the massive red title 「プレデター」 detonates across the lower field beneath the name banner 「シュワルツェネッガー」. Clean, aggressive, and extremely displayable—an iconic late-’80s Japanese action one-sheet.
