An Undated (probably 1970s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) Jing Wu Men (released in the U.S. in 1973 as "The Chinese Connection" and as "Fist of Fury", which makes a confusing situation even more confusing, since Lee's other early hit was "Fists of Fury" in the U.S.), the classic 1972 Lo Wei Hong Kong kung fu martial arts fighting action crime thriller ("Unstoppable! Unbelievable! Unbeatable!"; "The Master of Karate/Kung Fu is back to break you up, smash you down, and kick you apart with 'The Chinese Connection'"; "The fateful day Chen Chen vowed vengeance"; produced by Raymond Chow) starring Bruce Lee ("The greatest exponent in the art of kung-fu"), Maria Yi, Nora Miao, Robert Baker, and Tien Feng. Note that this movie received a very limited release in the United States until after the success of "Enter the Dragon", at which point it received a wide U.S. release. Also, note that Australia distributed this movie as "Fist of Fury", and released Lee's previous movie (Tang Shan Da Xiong) as "The Chinese Connection", which further complicates things! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Averardo Ciriello Important Added Info: Note that this movie was first released in Italy in March 1973. There is an early re-release Italian one-panel that looks very similar to the first release poster, which is incredibly rare. The first release poster is printed by Novograph, while the early re-release is printed by Rotopress (and there is a 1980s re-release that is printed by Sericolor). In the past, we have mistakenly auctioned the 1970s re-release as being from the first release, because until early 2018, we did not yet know the above information (however, we have notified those buyers and offered them refunds for our mistake!). Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
