The artwork on this piece was also used on the smaller size US poster. This format poster, used for drive-ins and special displays, is considerably rarer as far fewer were printed. It was printed on heavier paper stock and distributed rolled, making it harder to store than folded posters. Over time many of the rolled posters also got folded. This is one of the unfolded examples.

This large format poster does not surface very often.

This cult film was directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader. It was the second time that Scorsese and Robert De Niro worked together, a collaboration that has to-date produced a total of nine feature films.
