## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a vintage 1980s martial arts movie poster remake for {movie_title}, dramatic and nostalgic, like a folded theatrical one-sheet.

Canvas: Vertical poster, 2:3 aspect ratio, aged cream paper border, worn corners, visible fold lines crossing horizontally and vertically, subtle stains, grain, scratches, and faded print texture.

Visual style: Painted 1980s Hollywood movie-poster realism with warm orange-red sunset lighting, deep blacks, high contrast, airbrushed faces, cinematic composition, slightly imperfect vintage typography and distressed ink.

Top composition: A fiery sunset over the ocean fills the upper half. Two large heroic portrait heads dominate the sky: in front is a serious teenage martial arts student with dark tousled hair, tan skin, intense eyes, wearing a white gi and a white rising-sun headband; behind him to the upper right is an older Japanese mentor with a mustache and short gray beard, solemn expression, wearing a matching white rising-sun headband and white robe with a dotted scarf detail. Add the tagline in small white serif capitals at upper left: {tagline}

Silhouette action vignettes: Include exactly 3 dark martial-arts silhouettes on the left side against the sunset: 1) a flying kick silhouette near the upper left sky, 2) two fighters sparring at sunset near the middle left horizon, 3) a kneeling student practicing a strike against a wooden training dummy near the lower left.

Title area: Place the huge centered title {movie_title} across the middle-lower poster in large cream-colored vintage serif capitals, with “THE” above “KARATE KID,” slightly distressed and shadowed.

Bottom tournament scene: Show an indoor karate tournament arena below the title. Exactly 2 teenage fighters face each other on a red-and-white mat: 1) left fighter in a white gi with black belt and circular chest patch, standing in a guarded stance, 2) right fighter in a black gi with black belt and circular patch, standing in an aggressive fighting stance. Exactly 1 referee stands centered between and behind them, wearing a red shirt and dark pants. Behind them is a crowd in dark bleachers and a tournament bracket board labeled {tournament_board_text} with small illegible bracket names and a clear “FINALS” section.

Credits and logos: Add a dense block of tiny white movie credits at the very bottom with names, a small studio logo at bottom left, and a small PG-style rating box at bottom right. Use {studio_credit} in the credit line.

Constraints: Keep the poster text readable where specified, preserve the 1980s theatrical poster mood, use no modern elements, no photorealistic contemporary camera look, no extra characters beyond the counted figures and silhouettes, and make the final image look like an authentic aged printed movie poster.
