Fujiko& #39;s turn again & this time the cover is taken from a screenshot of Breakfast at Tiffany& #39;s (1961) instead of it& #39;s theatrical poster!
Next up we have Westworld (1973), I rl like how the person who drew this took the original Japanese poster & added a funky background scene!
Looks like Lupin gets to be his true monkey self in this Planet of The Apes (1968) Japanese poster! ~

This Laserdisc cover was based off of the Japanese poster for City Lights (1931), I honestly wasn& #39;t expecting to find it!

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤠" title="Cowboy hat face" aria-label="Emoji: Cowboy hat face">
Following on from that we have Lady Snowblood (1973). Unfortunately I haven& #39;t been able to find the screenshots the cover was based on but the theatrical poster is fantastic
A very fitting parody cover again w/ Fujiko & Lupin being the infamous Bonnie & Clyde (1967) of the early 30s ~

Here& #39;s one I missed earlier, another Western this time ft. Lupin, Jigen & Fujiko on the cover of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid (1969)
I havent found the exact film it& #39;s from but here we have Pops being Tora-san from the long running Japanese film series Otoko wa Tsurai yo (48 films w/ the same actor!!!)
I& #39;ve included the first film, It& #39;s tough being a man (1969) & the last film Tora-san to the Rescue (1995)

Here& #39;s Lupin in a role which suits him quite well, Tootsie from the film of the same name (1982) & a rather confused Fujiko in the background ~
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👠" title="High Heels" aria-label="Emoji: High Heels">
It& #39;s Goemon& #39;s time to shine again w/ him being rather angelic on the poster for Heaven Can Wait (1978) ~
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😇" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit Heiligenschein" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit Heiligenschein">
Now this is the only one that I& #39;m not 100% sure about but w/ Jigen& #39;s pose I think this is meant to be taken from a screenshot of Badlands (1973), if I& #39;m wrong please let me know
Looks like a gust of wind has brought along The Seven Year Itch (1955) next w/ Fujiko as Marilyn Monroe & Lupin as the enthralled Richard Sherman in the iconic dress scene ~

We have the whole gang here & quite a few one off characters from part 2 on this Cannonball Run (1981) Japanese poster ~
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚗" title="Auto" aria-label="Emoji: Auto">
Goemon& #39;s turn for being on a really fitting cover, w/ this one taken from the Japanese poster for Hamlet (1948) ~
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗡" title="Dolchmesser" aria-label="Emoji: Dolchmesser">
Here& #39;s the final cover of the bunch & what better way to finish then to have the whole gang chillin& #39; on the Japanese Poster for American Graffiti (1973)
And that& #39;s all the covers I could find & to finish this thread off here& #39;s the boxes I found that the Laserdiscs were packaged in!
And here are the last pics! A huge thank you to @himbokeibu & @gazouzharr for helping me find out most of the posters & my Dad for the last few westerns that had me stumped!
If someone finds any more let me know & I& #39;ll add them
