Of all the different variations for a "Jaws" poster, this Thai One-Sheet from the first year of release in Thailand, 1976 by Banhan, is considered one of the best. Roger Kastel's original design of the huge Great White Shark about to break the waterline and devour the naked female swimmer has been adapted. The top half of the poster includes incredible lifelike illustrations of the key actor's Quint (Robert Shaw), Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) and Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), with some action thrown for good measure as the shark attacks Hooper in the underwater cage. Thai film posters are starting to gain a following with collectors, and with artists like Banhan, Kwow and Tongdee Panumas, it's easy to see why.
