The upper half is dominated by a huge monochrome portrait of McQueen, while the title crashes across the middle in massive silver lettering, interrupted by images of gunfire, pursuit, and the central romantic pairing. The bold red Japanese title adds explosive visual energy, and the large-scale close-up imagery gives the poster a distinctly tougher, more modern feel than many contemporary American campaign materials. It is an exceptionally strong country-of-origin design for one of McQueen’s defining 1970s films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1780\" data-end=\"2179\"\u003eCondition\u003cbr data-start=\"1789\" data-end=\"1792\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1792\" data-end=\"1880\"\u003eExcellent.
