“Léon – Integral Version” (レオン 完全版), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1996, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) I133 B

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1996 for the Japanese theatrical release of Léon – Integral Version, Luc Besson’s extended cut of his cult hit Léon (also known as Léon: The Professional).

Film background

Set in New York, Léon centres on a solitary hitman who reluctantly takes in Mathilda, a 12‑year‑old girl whose family has been murdered by corrupt DEA agents. What follows is an intense, unconventional bond between two outsiders, played with unforgettable chemistry by Jean Reno and a young Natalie Portman, while Gary Oldman delivers one of cinema’s most unhinged villain performances. The Integral Version restores additional character moments and emotional beats that deepen the story and has become the preferred cut for many fans.

Poster design

The Japanese B2 artwork uses a powerful photographic composition: Léon stands against a patterned hallway wall, shotgun holsters across his chest, while Mathilda sits on the floor at his feet clutching a pistol. The stark red “LEON – INTEGRAL VERSION” typography slashes across the image, giving the design a bold graphic punch. The cream‑coloured right margin balances the composition and carries the English credits, making this one of the cleanest and most collectible designs for the film.

This poster is in excellent / near‑mint condition, with crisp paper, rich colours and only very light handling traces (please refer to the imagery of the exact poster for sale).
