Oversized white Japanese lettering dominates the top, with the red slogan 「生きろ、死に急ぐな。」 beneath it. Portraits of Leslie Cheung, Ti Lung, and Chow Yun-fat overlap a nighttime Hong Kong skyline, crossed by a diagonally positioned firearm. Each actor is identified in handwritten-style lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse replaces the dramatic montage with dense Japanese text, burgundy typographic blocks, a printed Hong Kong box-office No. 1 claim, production credits, and a monochrome cast photograph. Nippon Herald is credited as the Japanese distributor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the black-background Herald design, not the separate flame-themed version. Its reverse carries no specific venue imprint, marking it as a national release rather than a local-theatre-back edition. It is a B5 promotional flyer, not a B2 theatre-lobby poster, and concerns the original \u003cem\u003eA Better Tomorrow\u003c\/em\u003e, not its sequel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm: A Better Tomorrow (1986)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirector: John Woo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead cast: Chow Yun-fat, Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry: Hong Kong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese title: 男たちの挽歌\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObject: Japanese theatrical movie flyer (chirashi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlyer issue year: 1987\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: B5, portrait, single sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinting: Double-sided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: Japanese, with English names and title\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese distributor: Nippon Herald (日本ヘラルド映画)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity: One flyer; photographs A and B show its two sides, while C is a handheld detail of the same front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease refer to the photographs for the item's visible condition.
