But fans immediately noticed that the super spy\u2019s signature Walther PPK was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mi6-hq.com\/sections\/articles\/amazon-prime-2025-remove-guns-from-james-bond-key-art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conspicuously missing<\/a> from every image. In some cases it had <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/global\/amazon-removed-guns-james-bond-art-backlash-1236540926\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clearly and rather clumsily been Photoshopped out<\/a>. Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan were left awkwardly holding thin air, in the posters for <em>Dr. No<\/em> and <em>Goldeneye<\/em>, respectively. Roger Moore seemingly received a body transplant on the cover <em>Live and Let Die<\/em>, and for <em>A View to a Kill<\/em> his arms were lengthened to inhuman proportions to coverup his firearm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Unsurprisingly fans went into a tizzy about the alteration. Some were simply astonished that Amazon would do this to such an iconic property, others accused the company of being \u201cwoke.\u201d Since then the thumbnails have been <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/10\/amazon-prime-video-removes-gunless-james-bond-artwork-1236570911\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quietly updated<\/a> to use stills from the movies, though fans were quick to note that all the images chosen also gunless. At least one, the still for <em><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KevBot_007\/status\/1974674436201840755\" target=\"_blank\">Skyfall<\/a><\/em>, still appears to have been altered to remove a firearm. At the time of publication Amazon had yet to respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">On the plus side, Pierce Brosnan\u2019s empty hand provides <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ThatTallGinger\/status\/1974173650590052506\" target=\"_blank\">solid fodder for memes.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/no-gun-bond-posters.jpeg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,3.125,100,93.75\" alt=\"Four James Bond posters awkwardly edited to remove his gun.\" title=\"Four James Bond posters awkwardly edited to remove his gun.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"People are gonna have a lot of fun editing that Pierce Brosnan one. | Image: Amazon, mi6-hq\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Amazon, mi6-hq\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, for James Bond Day, Amazon revealed updated poster art for the movies.
