Luud Smits

This is an original U.S. 1-Sheet poster (27 × 41 inches) for the martial arts film Dragon Lee vs. the 5 Brothers (1978), one of the most recognizable titles in the Bruceploitation genre.
Printed for the American theatrical release by Fury Films Distribution, this poster features dramatic hand-painted artwork that captures the exaggerated, larger-than-life style typical of late-1970s kung-fu cinema.

Artwork & Design

The poster showcases a powerful painted montage:

A giant Bruce-inspired figure in the background

Dragon Lee in fighting stance at the center

Multiple combat scenes featuring nunchaku, staffs and traditional kung-fu weapons

A temple structure referencing classic Shaolin imagery

This is classic Bruceploitation poster art — bold colours, muscular poses, and layered action vignettes designed to evoke the Bruce Lee mythos and attract grindhouse audiences.

Authenticity

This is a genuine U.S. theatrical 1-Sheet, printed for cinema use.
Features confirming authenticity include:

Standard 27×41" size

Original folding lines (shipped folded from the distributor)

R-rating box with MPAA style

U.S. credits referencing Fury Films Distribution

Paper stock and printing style typical for late-1970s exploitation releases

No modern reproduction or reprint matches these characteristics.

Condition

Excellent vintage condition (folded as issued).

Strong, vivid colours

Clean surface with no major tears

No writing or tape marks

Minor fold wear consistent with original distribution

Overall, a very well-preserved example of a hard-to-find exploitation poster.

Collectability

Bruceploitation posters—especially original U.S. 1-Sheets—have become increasingly desirable due to their striking artwork and low surviving numbers.
Dragon Lee vs. the 5 Brothers is a sought-after title among collectors of martial arts cinema, grindhouse memorabilia, and 1970s exploitation paper.
In this condition, it is an excellent display piece.

Shipping

Poster will be shipped carefully folded, protected between rigid cardboard layers, with tracking.
