Also released as Battle Creek Brawl, The Big Brawl was Jackie Chan's first major attempt to break into the American film market. The Hong Kong–American production teamed Chan with director Robert Clouse and producer Fred Weintraub, both closely associated with Enter the Dragon.

POSTER DESIGN FEATURES: Strong pink, black and red Australian artwork dominated by Jackie Chan in a fighting pose, surrounded by smaller martial-arts action scenes and a period car. The design places JACKIE CHAN prominently at the top and directly promotes the film's connection to Enter the Dragon.

COLLECTOR'S NOTE: An important early Jackie Chan Hollywood crossover poster. The film predates Chan's eventual American breakthrough by more than a decade, making original theatrical material an interesting part of his international career. The Australian Daybill is specifically recognised by Australian poster dealers as an original local issue, with this duotone artwork currently described as a distinct variant.
