James Bond may have a license to kill, but Amazon Prime Video seemed reluctant to highlight that fact, removing the character’s iconic Walther PPK pistol from a series of posters released to mark James Bond Day on October 5.

This included posters of Sean Connery ’s Dr. No and Pierce Brosnan ’s Goldeneye , in which the gun was literally airbrushed from the original image. Other images were cropped as to not show the firearm.
