The Harder They Come, the classic 1973 Perry Henzell Jamaican reggae music action crime thriller ("With a piece in his hand He takes on the man!"; "He makes woman and the charts and is on top with both."; "Rebel WITH a cause!!"; "Be warned: This is more than a film made for lovers of reggae, much more.") starring Jimmy Cliff and The Maytals.
Important Added Info: Note that the person who originally designed this poster has stated that it was made for the late 1970s re-release of the film (likely between 1977 and 1979, and the BBFC states 1977) from the original British quad's design, adding their company logo of "Lagoon" and the tagline at left, "Now-Original Uncut Version". We have never seen the first release English poster, but this rare German AO poster from the first release in Germany in 1980 and features exactly the same design. It is also pretty clear that the original release poster is apparently beyond rare (because no one seems to have ever sold it!).
