But fans immediately noticed that the super spy’s signature Walther PPK was conspicuously missing from every image. In some cases it had clearly and rather clumsily been Photoshopped out. Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan were left awkwardly holding thin air, in the posters for Dr. No and Goldeneye, respectively. Roger Moore seemingly received a body transplant on the cover Live and Let Die, and for A View to a Kill his arms were lengthened to inhuman proportions to coverup his firearm. 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 “woke.” Since then the thumbnails have been quietly updated 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 Skyfall, 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. On the plus side, Pierce Brosnan’s empty hand provides solid fodder for memes. <img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/no-gun-bond-posters.jpeg/query-Y3JvcD0wLDMuMTI1LDEwMCw5My43NSZxdWFsaXR5PTkwJnN0cmlwPWFsbA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="600" height="744" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/no-gun-bond-posters.jpeg/query-Y3JvcD0wLDMuMTI1LDEwMCw5My43NSZxdWFsaXR5PTkwJnN0cmlwPWFsbA"/></div>
