An Undated (probably 1970s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]) (Learn More) Tang Shan Da Xiong (released in Hong Kong as "Tang Shan Da Xiong/The Big Boss", released in the U.S. in 1973 as "Fists of Fury"), the classic 1971 Lo Wei Hong Kong kung fu martial arts thriller ("Karate/Kung-Fu!"; "The new screen excitement that gives you the biggest kick of your life!"; "Karate/Kung-Fu! The oriental sensation - now gives America the action its been waiting for!"; "No evil on earth could survive the fury that was Bruce Lee!") starring Bruce Lee ("every limb of his body is a lethal weapon"), Maria Yi, Han Ying Chieh, Tony Liu, and Malalene. Note that this movie (and "The Chinese Connection") received very limited release in the United States until after the success of "Enter the Dragon", at which point both movies received wide U.S. releases. Also, note that Australia distributed this movie as "The Chinese Connection", and released Lee's next movie (Jing Wu Men) as "Fist of Fury", which further complicates things! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Giuliano Nistri Important Added Info: Note that this poster is unlike any of the Italian posters for this movie we have previously auctioned (and everything on it is in English, which doesn't make much sense, since it can't be an "export" poster, since the movie is not Italian). We are wondering if it is possibly a poster for "The Chinese Connection", even though "The Big Boss" was actually "Fists of Fury". In Australia, The Chinese Connection was mislabeled "Big Boss", and perhaps this was done in Italy for this release as well (perhaps either intentionally or unintentionally). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this Italian two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: very good.
