"Rush Hour" (ラッシュアワー), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1999 (for the 1998 film), B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA859
This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed for the Japanese theatrical release (23 January 1999) of Rush Hour (ラッシュアワー)—the hit buddy-cop action comedy directed by Brett Ratner, starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, with music by Lalo Schifrin.
Design
A brilliant piece of late-’90s Japanese commercial design: a bold split red/yellow field with Chan and Tucker posed front and centre, surrounded by exuberant Japanese hype copy celebrating the film’s box-office impact. The sheet is packed with period details collectors love—major U.S. performance callouts, soundtrack references, and the prominently printed theme-song credit “HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE” by Dru Hill (used on the film’s soundtrack).
The result is pure 1999 energy: loud, graphic, and instantly recognisable on a wall.
