Ishirō Honda - King Kong Escapes, 1967 - Unknown

Original Yugoslavian theatrical poster for “King Kong Escapes” (1967), the classic Toho kaiju adventure directed by legendary filmmaker Ishirō Honda (known for Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan). Produced by RKO & Toho, this film features Rhodes Reason, Linda Miller, and the iconic Toho-style King Kong battling Mechani-Kong and wreaking havoc on a collapsing city. The artwork on this Yugoslav release is unique to the region, created in a bold, illustrated style reminiscent of European comic art from the 1960s. Among collectors of kaiju, tokusatsu and King Kong memorabilia, Yugoslav posters are increasingly rare and visually striking due to their hand-drawn local artwork. Details Original title: King Kong Escapes Yugoslav title: King Kong je pobjegao Year: 1967 Country: Yugoslavia Director: Ishirō Honda Cast: Rhodes Reason, Linda Miller, Akira Takarada Production: RKO / Toho Format: 70 × 50 cm (Yugoslav standard) Technique: Offset printing Type: Original theatrical poster Condition – EXCELLENT / VERY GOOD+ Poster is in excellent preserved condition, especially rare for this title: Colours vibrant and sharp Minimal handling marks Clean edges with only very light corner wear No tears, no stains, no missing paper Displays beautifully. Rarity Kaiju genre posters from Yugoslavia are hard to find, especially in unfolded condition. King Kong titles have strong cross-collectability: Toho collectors, Kong collectors, Honda/Godzilla collectors, 1960s sci-fi fans. Artwork is highly sought-after because it differs significantly from U.S. and Japanese designs. Shipping Poster will be shipped flat or rolled (buyer’s choice), securely protected with reinforced packaging. Tracked worldwide shipping.
