AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original Egyptian theatrical one-sheet produced for the local release of “The Big Boss” (Tang shan da xiong), the landmark 1971 Hong Kong martial-arts film directed by Lo Wei and starring Bruce Lee in his international breakthrough role.
This scarce Egyptian issue features locally created artwork that differs completely from the better-known international campaigns. Bruce Lee is shown executing a spectacular oversized high kick, surrounded by several martial-arts fight scenes. The vivid yellow composition, bold Arabic lettering and monumental red “BIG BOSS” title give the poster exceptional decorative impact.
The Arabic title and original Egyptian distribution information remain visible. The lower margin identifies Khayat & Karama Films, Cairo.
An authentic vintage theatrical poster, not a modern reproduction.
