Hiromi Oshima does Oscar tribute posters with Playboy

Hiromi Oshima decided to do two Oscar tribute posters with Playboy, when she re-posed for the posters of such classic movies as "Fist of Fury" and "Black Belt Jones".


Black Belt Jones (1974)
The blaxploitation and martial arts genres came together in this story of a kung fu academy targeted for takeover by the mob. This poster afforded Hiromi the opportunity to don a schoolgirl outfit and kick some Ninja butt. I am fine with that.



Fist of Fury (1972)
In this, his second major film, Bruce Lee solidified his status as the most legendary martial arts movie star of all time. The photographer chose the French version of the poster because it allowed him to present Hiromi in the most powerful way possible.
