“Thunderbolt and Lightfoot” (サンダーボルト), Original Japanese Theatrical Poster 1974, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O222

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1974 for the first Japanese release of Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. A genuine cinema display sheet produced for theatres in Japan.

Film background
Michael Cimino’s feature debut pairs Clint Eastwood with a breakout Jeff Bridges (Oscar-nominated) in a sly, bittersweet heist road-movie. A veteran bank robber teams with a wild young drifter to attempt an audacious redo of a legendary job—complete with a 20 mm cannon used for safe-cracking.

Poster design
Big, kinetic ’70s collage work: Eastwood looms in mirrored shades at top while chase carnage erupts across the lower register; inset vignettes show the improvised cannon rig and the ensemble in crisp stills. The bold red Japanese title 「サンダーボルト」 punches across the base with English credit line, delivering pure vintage action appeal.
