Hi Simon,
I wondered why I'd never heard of Espionage Far East, and then I remembered about Eddie Romero's series "Counterthrust", made for the US TV market. Looks like he assembled a feature version of the series for the local market.
Congratulations on digging up such an obscure poster, and please keep up your invaluable preservation work!
Cheers, Andrew
