May 7 2008'Bangkok Dangerous' Poster Implies Guns May Be Involved, Possibly
It's really strange how many times this poster suggests the presence of guns without ever showing them.
1. Bullet holes in the thin layer of glass between us and the poster-verse. Man, I bet some guys are seriously shooting some guns at the fourth wall.
2. Does Nicolas Cage have a stump arm? No. He's just reaching in his awesome leather jacket, probably for a gun.
3. At first glance, Nicolas Cage appears to be holding a gun. At second glance: he's not actually holding a gun. His hand is just positioned in an open grasp such that a gun might fit in his hands if someone were to carefully slide one in.
I'm starting to think Bangkok might not be so outright dangerous--just implicitly so.

Wow, Nicholas Cage has a really short left arm and a really long right arm!

This clearly means there are invisible guns involved.

Looks like Fast and Furious meets Sin City. Lovely.

Look at the hi-res version, and I think you see the indentation in his index finger where the gun's trigger used to be before they thought to go subtle.

Why does the poster look kinda like the Live Free or Die Hard poster?

It looks like some lawyer decided to have the gun edited out because it was 'too violent'.

Once you see it as someone else's arm reaching in to steal the title of the movie you'll never be able to see it any other way.
