Japanese Movie Poster | Dump Hip Bump: Kutabare Yarodomo | STB | 1969 | VG+

ITEM OVERVIEW

Original Japanese 2-panel STB theatrical release poster (Tate-看板 / Tatekan format, double B2 size) for the 1969 Daiei Film comedy Dump Hip Bump: Kutabare Yarodomo (ダンプ・ヒップ・バンプ くたばれ野郎ども). Directed by Yoshihiko Muroga and based on the work by Tetsuro Mori, the film stars Michiko Ai, Machiko Soga, and Mari Shiraki. The oversized two-sheet composition showcases vibrant Showa-era pop graphics, bold Japanese typography, and dynamic character imagery designed to join into a complete vertical display.

HISTORICAL RELEVANCE & CONTEXT

Released in 1969 by Daiei Film, Dump Hip Bump: Kutabare Yarodomo represents the lively, highly stylized studio comedies typical of late-1960s Japanese mainstream cinema. Two-panel STB (立て看板 / Tatekan) posters were created for theatrical venue display, printed in two overlapping B2 sheets meant to be displayed vertically as a single large banner. Due to their size, limited printing runs, and frequent destruction after theatrical display, complete two-panel STB posters from this era remain scarce and highly sought after by vintage Japanese film memorabilia collectors.
