Since there was no existing thread that examined the artwork for the FYEO campaign I decided to post my own.

Here is the UK Quad.

The US Teaser has Bond facing in a different direction but still framed by those legs.

[DLibrasnow]

Here is a US 1 sheet.

Here's how the Japanese decided to promote the movie:

[DLibrasnow]

Another Japanese one with the unusual artwork around the traditional image.

The French poster.

[DLibrasnow]

Let me try that again....here is the French poster.

[DLibrasnow]

The site of a number of the locations was Greece and here is that poster....kinda standard.

[DLibrasnow]

The Hong Kong poster

A lobby card from the UK --

There are some others I would have liked to include but couldn't find. I think it was Italy that put shorts on the girl and there was a poster for the FYEO and Moonraker double bill that I saw at my local theater when I was younger.

[DLibrasnow]

I guess I prefer the British Quad version the best.

[DLibrasnow]

The Brazilian poster showed a bit more cheek than usual.

[DLibrasnow]

I've replaced some of the poorer copies of these posters with some provided courtesy of a friend of mine - thanks GW.

Hey zen, if you have a copy of the poster that has the shorts painted on the girl, I think that would be an interesting addition.

Not sure what this is but it isn't a lobby card or FOH card. (The lobbies were US produced at that time.)

It looks more like what was produced for the Marler Hayley sets for the Odeon cinema chain - and may even be of quad size!

They are from my private collection with some sent to me by a friends. Some are also archived at my place of work.

I think the posters are an important (and often overlooked) part of the James Bond series. There was a book published last year that featured an extensive look at the posters throughout the series.

[DLibrasnow]

This of course was the FYEO DVD cover

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

whatelse do you have in your private collection?

[DLibrasnow]

Quite a few of the Connery posters (and OHMSS). I never collected any from TLD onwards. My favorite non-Roger Moore Bond poster is the one for DAF.

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

Yeah i think DAF is Sean's best poster!! I think thats is a very cool name for the movie and the poster is interesting !!

I also like Dr No.. it is very different from the other 007 posters

They were still looking for a certain style with the James Bond posters I am guessing.

[DLibrasnow]

This is the poster I am thinking about - how about you 4 Ur Eyez Only?

[DLibrasnow]

So, after looking over these different posters which are peoples favorites. I more I look at the Japanese posters the more I kinda like them, but the UK Quad version is still my favorite.

Check out this poster on ebay right now. This is unlike any FYEO art I've ever seen.

[Simon]

Grief, does anyone recognise the language of that poster. Never seen that one before.

Very unusual find.

Turkish. Seems to be a direct translation of "for your eyes only".

[Simon]

Ah yes, didn't click on the ebay link! Duh.

Is it just me, or is the eyeful here of inner thigh much sexier than the standard FYEO legs image?
