# Amazon awkwardly edited the guns out of James Bond art

> Amazon faced backlash after editing out guns from James Bond movie posters for James Bond Day. Fans noticed the iconic Walther PPK was missing, with some images awkwardly Photoshopped, leading to accusations of being 'woke.' Although thumbnails were updated with stills from the films, they also lacked firearms. Amazon has not commented on the situation, but the edits have sparked memes, particularly featuring Pierce Brosnan's empty hand.

Last week, for James Bond Day, Amazon revealed updated poster art for the movies. 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.
