A backlit glass-covered playfield photographed at a slight angle, with reflective glare and some cloudiness across the surface. The layout runs from a top banner carrying seven white circles spelling SPECTRE in red capitals over a strip of small print, with a small red-white-blue USA flag badge pinned to the top left. The upper left holds a red brick/glass tower and a grey shark- or rocket-shaped plastic with USA lettering on its nose; the upper right is a raised gold ramp structure with chrome rails and a red saucer/hole assembly lit from beneath. The centre is a grey-blue metal-effect plate bordered by a large dark arrow pointing down, carrying stacked movie-title lettering: a dark blue rectangle, then green YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, orange THUNDERBALL, yellow GOLDFINGER, red FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, and a yellow-outlined blue lightning bolt reading DR. NO. Down the right of this plate runs a column of circular portrait badges labelled with film names, alongside photos of cars, an aircraft, an explosion and a satellite dish. Lower left is a red-trimmed sling area with a white 007 logo block and instruction placards; the lower right has a red OUT arrow and a lit VILLAIN MODES START WHEN BALL IS HELD panel plus a yellow BALL SAVE flag.

A man in a black tuxedo with an orange rocket strapped to his back, flying forward while gripping a pistol, with a huge orange rocket flame pouring down the middle of the artwork. The second most memorable element is the crumbling castle ruin below him, crowded with tiny suited gunmen and a single woman in a teal dress running across the stones.

Painted backglass with a huge slanted red serif title THUNDERBALL across the top left, outlined white and black. The right two-thirds is dominated by a large waist-up cut-out of a dark-haired man in a black tuxedo jacket, white dress shirt and black bow tie, gripping a black-and-silver pistol in his right hand while clutching his jacket with his left; he wears a bulky orange-and-white rocket backpack whose silver exhaust pipe curves down and pours a bright orange and yellow flame downwards, cutting diagonally across the picture. Behind him, on the left, is a stone-block castle ruin or dam wall seen from above, with red-brown cobbled paving and pale beige masonry blocks; it is crumbling and broken open. About eight smaller men in dark suits, several holding pistols, run and stumble over the ruined blocks, and one woman in a teal-blue dress runs at the lower left. White sea spray or smoke billows along the bottom edge, with an arched stone tunnel opening at the right. Airbrushed, painted action-movie illustration.

A single enormous man in a navy and yellow jumpsuit falls head-first down a bolted concrete dam wall, arms flung upward, filling the centre of the artwork. Below and around him the whole scene is a blood-red industrial chasm packed with steel gantries and scores of tiny falling grey figures, punctuated by orange and white explosion smoke. The huge red block-letter slogan YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE sits across the upper left sky, with the second word stacked on a second line.

| Man | Large central falling man, adult, grey hair, face in three-quarter view, dark navy jumpsuit with yellow panels and a wide cream collar, arms raised above his head, body inverted head-down along the wall |
| Man | One adult male figure tumbling at lower centre in a grey suit, arms spread |

| Creature | Roughly fifty tiny grey and violet-suited human figures scattered across the red walls and gantries, most shown falling or clinging, too small for individual features |
A painted action backglass split diagonally into two zones. Upper left is a pale blue sky with white clouds over a rocky tan mountainside, where two small helicopters with bubble cockpits and one yellow twin-fuselage jet hover; a few tiny grey-suited figures rappel on ropes down the rock. Upper right is a grey concrete dam or bulkhead wall studded with thick steel anchor bolts, crossed by pipes and ladder rungs. The lower two thirds is a deep red and black industrial void seen from above: steel lattice gantries, a walkway with yellow-amber lit panels, railings, a large white angular duct or missile-shaped structure with a red star, and dozens of tiny grey and violet figures tumbling or clinging along the walls. Dominating the centre is a single large male figure falling head-first down the wall, arms up, wearing a dark navy jumpsuit with yellow panels and a wide cream collar, his face and grey hair rendered in detail. Billowing white, pink and orange explosion smoke fills the lower centre. Colours are dominated by deep red, black, grey and yellow, with sky blue confined to the top left. Painted in a realistic, airbrushed 1960s cinema-poster style.

A painted backglass dominated by an enormous close-up male head at centre-left: a tanned, stubbled, dark-haired man with heavy brows and blue eyes, staring hard to the right, his hand raising a long-barrelled black pistol that angles up across his face to the top of the frame. Behind him at lower left is a fair-skinned brunette woman in a pink bikini with a narrow white belt, standing turned away with her arms out. Behind her a rusted steel oil derrick leans diagonally, with pale industrial plant, a long low building and a white satellite dish on the horizon under a flat pale-blue sky. Along the bottom runs a collage: a blue open-top car and a black car nose-on at far left; a row of four tuxedoed dark-haired men in black dinner jackets with white shirts and bow ties, one holding up a playing card, flanked by oversized fanned playing cards bearing small portrait photographs; at right a man in a cream suit and dark peaked cap bends over a large black motion-picture camera on a tripod beside a red car, with a hazy red-brown plume behind him.
