Spreading world-wide terror!"; a wacky story involving a narcotics deal, a stripper, and H-bomb tests) starring Yumi Shirakawa, Kenji Sahara, Akihiko Hirata, Koreya Senda, Makoto Sato, Yoshifumi Tajima, Eitaro Ozawa, Yoshio Tsuchiya, Kamayuki Tsubono, Tadao Nakamaru, and Nadao Kirino If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that when this movie was released in Australia, the daybill had an image of a sexy girl at middle right, and one of the taglines read "SEE a strip-teaser completely stripped of flesh". It also had a "not suitable" circular rating area at bottom center. When it was about to be released in New Zealand, the Australian printer printed new daybills for the New Zealand release, and they used the same printing plates, but they removed the rating circle. Once they made it to New Zealand, a censor there put solid black over the "offensive" tagline, and worse yet, they put a solid black blob over the girl's image! This would be on all daybills printed in Australia for use in New Zealand, and depending on how you look at it, it is either a major detraction, or a pretty cool addition! Condition: good. The poster was censored with black overprinting (see above). Depending on how you look at it, it is either a major detraction, or a pretty cool addition! Learn More about condition grades
