Karate a Shangai — Italian 2F Poster (200 × 140 cm), 1976

Italian distributors retitled and reframed countless Hong Kong productions for local audiences, and this poster is pure evidence of that strategy. Directed by Chiang Nan and starring Wai-Long Wen and Fei Kan, the film belongs to the first European wave of imported kung fu cinema. The artwork exaggerates physical impact—exploding brushstrokes, acid yellow typography, and a hero rendered almost mythic.
