    Shame they didn't go the classic 90's route with the Spectre VHS. :P (I made this by the way.)

    Now that's what I'm talking about!

    Indeed. Excellent work, Murdock!

    I had that VHS copy of THUNDERBALL. As I recall it had an excellent transfer, a trailer for YOLT and a Pink Panther cartoon.

    Anyone seen this one before? Seems pretty rare.

    Make sure to return it to Civic Video Busselton--seven days can go by very quickly!

    Saw it on ebay along with a Octopussy VHS: https://www.picclickimg.com/d/w1600/pict/173461666061_/Dr-No-and-Octopussy-2x-VHS-James-Bond.jpg
    As @Benny noted separately, Busselton is a town in Western Australia.

    So I wonder if these two covers were specific to video store rentals. I enjoy the covers, but I never really acquired VHS copies during that era.

    Also, understanding these were on Ebay, I have to wonder if those tapes have been rewound back to the beginning.

    I introduce you... ALL the Argentinean James Bond VHS covers, here in my site.

    Did you know... Casino Royale was released here on VHS?

    Anyone wondering how it looked like?


    As you can see, they didn't even bother to adapt it for Pan&Scan even though there was a Fullscreen version on DVD in the US. But VHS was still popular in my country by the mid-2000s. Or well, not popular, but maybe they thought they should give VHS a last try before DVDs coped the market.

    I came across this surprising cover art. Just an unusual choice there for A View to a Kill.

    Sometimes the old ways are best.

    Whoever designed that must have hated A View to a Kill even more than usual.

    Seems like Connery overlooking this cover.

    Possibly the worst photoshopped cover ever?
    This is from inside the You Only Live Twice special edition dvd cover:

    That's Sean Connery from Never Say Never Again with someone's arm in front of him holding a gun in their hand - peculiar.

    I'd missed this thread with those hilarious Asian covers.

    From the booklet, you mean? My own R4 SE DVD comes without it.

    I have a huge window cling I took from Rogers Video when I worked here in Canada, that advertises CR's release on VHS. :P

    The World Is Not Enough Photoshopped vs Original

    My totally inaccurate SF fan art from 2012, which someone put on a DVD label and credited themselves as the artist:

    That's nice piece of artwork, accuracy be damned. Goes without saying that it's lame as hell that they would do that without crediting you.

    I have to know: is the girl with the gun also Bérénice? Or perhaps the girl from Turkey? At any rate, her shapely presence front and center means the image is perfectly rounded.

    Sorry guys, I didn't realize this thread was for official artwork until after posting.

    Anyway, cheers @mattjoes, the girl is Olga, who I simply added into the artwork because, well, she was pointing a gun at me:

    Ah, I see, @QBranch. Well, looking like that, she can appear in all the Bond films she wants.
