DescriptionIn this 1991 futuristic film called Future Kick, a bounty hunter travels from the moon to the abandoned planet Earth to overpower an ominous company that exchanges human body organs in the black market. He manages to reestablish law and regulations after overcoming challenging obstacles in this science fiction action film. The actor who plays the main character is Don Wilson, also known as “The Dragon.” He is considered to be one of the most successful kickboxing champions in American sports history. The composition of the poster mimics the original poster with minor differences. All three figures are posed identically, but the painted artwork presents a more futuristic feel, expressing a partial mechanical bodily structure in the chest and arm of the main character.On View
