Translating Hollywood, the new book by Sam Sarowitz of Posteritati, takes a look at movie posters from around the world (and how different they are from the US versions).

Posterwire has the big version of the poster: Link

    The soup cans may also be there because the Japanese title for the movie was actually “Captain Supermarket.” (I like that title a lot.)
