An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Black Belt Jones, the 1974 Robert Clouse black African American blaxploitation kung fu martial arts action thriller ("Unstoppable!"; "He clobbers the mob as Black Belt Jones"; "Screenplay by Oscar Williams") starring Jim Kelly (in the title role as Black Belt Jones; billed as "Enter Jim 'Dragon' Kelly" or "Jim 'Dragon' Kelly" to capitalize on his lead role in "Enter the Dragon"), Gloria Hendry, Scatman Crothers, Eric Laneuville, Alan Weeks, and Andre Philippe NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has a wonderful image of Jim Kelly, but he has a mustache! It has been a long time since we have seen the movie, but in the movie paper for it, he is clean shaven. We wonder if he shaved it off before filming started, but after this publicity image was taken (or perhaps they used an earlier publicity image of him to publicize the movie). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So it is an original still from 1974, but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
