Auction History Result 2z671 FURY OF THE DRAGON 1sh '76 great comic book style artwork of Bruce Lee as Kato, sexy girl! Date Sold 12/8/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1976 Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Fury of the Dragon, the 1975 William Beaudine martial arts kung fu action adventure thriller ("The true one! The real one! The Inimitable!"; this movie was pieced together from four episodes of "The Green Hornet" spliced together into a single feature!) starring Bruce Lee (as Kato), Van Williams (as the Green Hornet), Wende Wagner, Lloyd Gough, Walter Brooke, and Edmund Hashim. Note that we have sold many posters from the FIRST "Green Hornet" compilation movie (it was just titled "The Green Hornet", and came out in 1974). But until 2009, we were unaware of this SECOND "Green Hornet" feature made from the TV show one year later! Apparently, it was released in Italy in 1975, and then was released internationally in 1976 (it may have had a limited U.S. release in 1976 as well) and it was sold in an incredibly misleading fashion, making it look like it was a new Bruce Lee kung fu movie, showing him as he looked in his Dragon movies. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Bruce Lee". Condition: very good. There is minor fold and border wear. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well. Learn More about condition grades
