“King Kong vs. Godzilla” (キングコング対ゴジラ), Original Re-Release Japanese Movie Poster 1976, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) K235
This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1976 for Toho’s domestic re-release of King Kong vs. Godzilla (Japan, 1962), directed by Ishirō Honda with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya. Mid-’70s Showa-era revival sheets for marquee kaijū titles are highly collectible.
Film background
A ratings-shattering showdown: pharmaceutical promoters spirit King Kong to Japan just as Godzilla reemerges, setting the stage for a globe-stopping clash that mixes satire with city-stomping spectacle—miniature pyrotechnics, suitmation wrestling, and aerial assaults included.
Poster design
A blazing crimson skyline burns behind the combatants as Kong swings Godzilla by the tail, fighter jets streaking past. The huge cracked logotype 「キングコング対ゴジラ」 explodes across the lower field, with the blue Toho roundel and bilingual tag KINGKONG vs GODZILLA—classic hallmarks of an authentic 1976 re-issue sheet with explosive wall presence.
