“Predator” (プレデター), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1987, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O671

This is an original Japanese B2 poster issued in Japan for the theatrical release of Predator (1987), John McTiernan’s genre-defining action-sci-fi classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger at the peak of his 1980s star power. What begins as a pure commando mission in the jungle mutates into something far darker: an elite unit hunted by an unknown, technologically superior alien predator. With its unforgettable creature design, escalating paranoia, and iconic moments (the thermal-vision imagery, the jungle traps, the “if it bleeds…” logic), Predator has become one of the most influential action films of its era and a cornerstone of 1980s cinema collecting.

Poster design

A superb Japanese campaign montage that leans into scale and set-piece storytelling. Schwarzenegger dominates the centre—weapon ready, muscles lit like sculpture—surrounded by stills that map the film’s progression: the commando team moving through the jungle, firefights, tension-filled confrontations, and flashes of the creature’s presence. The Japanese header copy sells it as an “ultimate latest work” for Schwarzenegger and positions the summer release as the beginning of a deadly hunt. At the bottom left, the vivid heat-vision/infrared face image adds that instantly recognisable Predator iconography, while the bold red title 「プレデター」 anchors the sheet with classic 1980s impact.
