For Your Eyes Only (1981)

For Your Eyes Only marked a tonal shift in the James Bond series, steering away from excess and camp toward a leaner, more grounded spy thriller style. Its marketing reflects the early 1980s moment when Bond sought renewed seriousness while still embracing sensuality and spectacle, helping reset the franchise’s identity for a new decade.

The poster uses a bold, provocative composition: Bond framed between a woman’s legs, weapon raised, combining erotic suggestion with danger and control. The stark contrast of white space, red typography, and graphic framing creates instant visual impact, emphasising glamour, menace, and the franchise’s signature blend of sex appeal and espionage.
