Translation is "You must have a really good reason not to go and see a new James Bond film.”

These are just begging for some snappy captions:

1. This guy with the tux and hat is the most dangerous man alive. If looks don't kill, we'll add a variety of weapons below to show you he means business.

2. I like it, but isn't the 69 thing just a bit much, even for 1963?

3.They really didn't want Laz back, did they?

4.He likes to cuddle afterwards and is a good listener.

5. His bad side is a dangerous place to be when he has samurai swords in his hands. Ask the city of Bangkok.

6. Now I know where Stacy got her inability to notice a blimp behind her - Bond doesn't notice a stiletto-wearing parachutist behind him.

7. Bond turns heads in any number of ways.

8. Brosnan's DAD stand-in in the Korean jail sequences caught in a method moment.

Sorry, it's still early here in the U.S.

I think the faceless OHMSS poster is odd.

The first Blond Bond?

Haha I love the live and let die one and it has sex and a heart
lol wtf?

This one is in the poster book and I really dislike it, I believe the book says its translates to something like; even this guy is seeing TWINE. Whatever the case a wasted effort IMO.

I want that OHMSS poster. Brilliant!

It doesn't look like much effort was expended, beyond the effort of finding a stock photo and plopping some text on top with MS Paint. Presumably they were aiming for something surreal and humorous, but I agree, it's just baffling and unappealing. What does a shirtless Lyle Lovett have to do with James Bond?

That last one is really really strange.

What about the truly bizarre Czech(?) poster for TSWLM in the poster book? The one with no Bond imagery, just a terrible, sloppy drawing of a high heel?

That's about as good as the Polish "Muppets" poster with 1980's-paint-program Animal.

I don't speak Italian, but from what I know, it says "You need a good reason for not going to watch the latest Bond movie"

I'm amazed the strangest Bond poster ever didn't make it to that list. It's a Brazilian MR poster:

Sounds interesting that, do you have a picture? I'm struggling to find it.

The rather well known Japanese poster for Dr.No...



seems to have inspired this Japanese SKYFALL offering...

Wonderful stuff. Sean Connery in a hat- enough to sell an action film.
