"Killer Condom (キラー・コンドーム)", Original Japanese “Director’s Cut – Complete Edition” Theatrical Poster 2023, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O254

This is an original Japanese B2 poster issued for the 2023 domestic release of Martin Walz’s cult horror–comedy Killer Condom (1996), presented here as the Director’s Cut – Complete Edition. Based on Ralf König’s best-selling comic, the film became a queer-cinema midnight favorite for its razor-sharp satire of homophobia, moral panic and pulp police procedurals—fronted by gay detective Luigi Mackeroni (Udo Samel). The production credits H.R. Giger as Creative Consultant, a tantalising connection that helped cement the movie’s body-horror reputation and long-tail cult status.

Film background
Produced by Ascot Film/Ecco Film; score by Emil Viklický; co-starring Peter Lohmeyer, Iris Berben, Meret Becker, Hella von Sinnen, and Leonard Lansink. The film’s brazen mix of splatter gags and social commentary gave it an enduring afterlife on VHS and festival circuits; the Director’s Cut revival introduced the title to new audiences while acknowledging its place in late-’90s European genre cinema and LGBTQ+ representation.

Poster design
A sensational, hand-painted exploitation tableau in blood-red and candy-ink tones (artist-signed at lower center) channels classic Euro-trash video-store art. The oozing, drippy headline “Killer Condom” crowns a shocked pin-up figure flecked with blood, surrounded by a collage of principal characters (detective with pistol, dominatrix, leather-clad toughs) and a cheeky yellow duck—winking at the film’s mix of sleaze and satire. A splatter seal at right trumpets “Creative Consultant: Academy Award Winner H.R. Giger (Alien, Species)”. The lower credit block lists cast/crew and ASCOT ELITE and ALBATROS FILM logos with campaign URL killer-condom.com, capped by the gloriously trashy tagline “The rubber that rubs you out!!!” Japanese release details line the foot—rating PG12 (映倫), country Germany, color, and runtime 118分—confirming this as the official Japanese one-sheet for the 2023 Director’s Cut rollout.
