Requesting scans of VHS artwork for TMWTGG and OP.

BruceMurdockBruceMurdock OhioPosts: 133MI6 Agent
Greetings everyone. I've always been fascinated with the Bond VHS artwork of the 90's. The same artwork was also used on the Special Edition DVD's early on as well. However there have been some alternate designs that are considered rare in some places. I'm referring to this artwork here for The Man With the Golden Gun and Octopussy.

If anyone has these covers and a picture scanner, I would be very grateful if you could scan them and upload them here. I would do it myself but sadly I don't have a scanner.

Cheers.
~Murdock. :)

    I don't have a scanner but I never knew about these covers.
    Not crazy about the Golden Gun one but the OP cover makes Roger look at least 10 years younger than he actually was in the movie.
    Best of luck!

    Not too surprising, since the pic was taken during the shooting of LALD! :)

    That MWTGG looks like a cover style to be found on an Executioner novel by Don Pendleton (or ghostwriters) of the 1990's.

    Only the head; that's not even Roger's body!

    I hate how they've reversed Moore's head on both of those, as well as on some of the other covers. The UK VHS cover was much better.

    Maybe they thought he needed some nip and tuck ;)

    It's mostly that. But people's faces are not symmetrical, and I can see that his whole face is backwards.

    Do you know the original source image? I've been looking at a lot of LALD pictures and can't seem to pin it down.

    IIRC (45 years is a long time), it's a publicity shot rather than a still from a scene. Perhaps from the shoot done during filming of the boat chase.

    Yeah, weren't these from the same shoot with the Smith revolver and the rather famous one with Roger, the revolver and the 007 chair?
