This is an original Japanese B3 poster printed in 1969 for Sam Peckinpah’s groundbreaking western The Wild Bunch—shot in Technicolor / Panavision (70mm prints) and starring William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O’Brien, Warren Oates, Ben Johnson, and Jaime Sánchez. A watershed of modern screen violence and revisionist Western myth, it remains one of the most influential films of the era.
Design
A kinetic montage: the Bunch blaze away mid-melee—one man ripping a belt-fed machine gun—while a bridge erupts in flame below. Along the skyline, the iconic silhouette of the gang strides toward their fate. The massive 3-D katakana logotype 「ワイルドバンチ」 punches across the base, with the 70mm tag and United Artists marks completing this explosive first-issue composition.
