    Saw this on the poster for the new Tom Hanks movie. A huge left handed, no pistol grip AK. Sorry for the phone picture, but it looked so silly I had to share.

    That's odd. Here's the same poster.

    To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.

    Hanks is making a new movie? Sorry, I have ignored him since he endorsed Obama for 2012.

    If you've seen the clip, the pirates have really crappy/rusty weaponry.

    Hey why does the theater one look so doctored, and the one that PSS found looks normal? Clearly the one I found was done by a non-gun person.

    What was the source for yours? Maybe some photoshop jock online did it on his own?

    I took that picture at the movie theater, it was on the wall. Looked silly, the proportions were wrong. And reversed.

    Guessing that someone decided that it was too hard to see that the guys climbing the ladder had guns without looking at the poster up close. For added dramatic effect when you see the poster from across the theater lobby they increased the size and changed the shape of the gun so that you can see that it's a gun and the curved magazine is something that is recognizable to even people that know nothing about guns. They did a horrible job at it though, should have just redesigned the whole thing..

    It definitely looks like a weak Photoshop effort.
