Vírgenes de los 7 Mares (Aventuras Calientes en el Lejano Oriente, c.1973) – Original Mexican One-Sheet Theatrical Poster

Description:

Offered here is an original Mexican theatrical movie poster for Vírgenes de los 7 Mares (Aventuras Calientes en el Lejano Oriente, c.1973), a Shaw Brothers / Columbia Pictures co-production blending exotic adventure, sensual intrigue, and Hong Kong action stylings. The film stars Yueh Hua, Diana Drube, Gillian Bray, and Liu Hui-Ling, and was part of the wave of international collaborations that brought Asian cinema to Western audiences in the early 1970s.

This  Mexican one-sheet captures the period’s fascination with far-eastern adventure and romance. The artwork bursts with warm tropical hues and dramatic composition — ships at sea, mysterious islands, and the allure of forbidden encounters — rendered in a painterly style typical of Mexican poster design of the era. The result is both nostalgic and eye-catching, a blend of pulp sensuality and cinematic wanderlust.

Note:

A rare and colorful Mexican-market poster for an unusual East-meets-West co-production, Vírgenes de los 7 Maresexemplifies the playful, hand-illustrated design sensibility that makes 1970s Latin American posters so collectible. This piece bridges two cinematic worlds — the sleek martial-arts style of the Shaw Brothers and the bold visual flair of Mexican print studios — making it a distinctive find for collectors of international or exploitation cinema art.

 This poster is highly collectible due to its rarity, its provocative artwork featuring a leaping martial arts heroine in mid-kick, and its place in Shaw Brothers’ experimental European collaborations. It appeals to collectors of grindhouse cinema, 1970s erotica, and martial arts exploitation ephemera—especially those interested in crossover East-West genre films of the period. Very few copies of this version are known to surface, making it an excellent addition for specialists in international cult film posters.
