So what's your reasoning for the change?

The current image is of low quality(probably why the gun's nearly invisible) - does anybody know where it came from?

The Rock. It's almost duplicating that one, an IP faux-pas.

As a duplicate image, I could see replacing it.

I'd be interested in looking at non-gun examples, since the trope is broader than just shooting.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Oooooooooooo... There's a Star Wars cover just like this!

[up] Decent example, but there's so much going on that Luke is kinda overwhelmed.

Han and Leia are shooting in the general direction of the camera as well, at least.

Not quite sure what's so bad about the current image, really.

Edmania's image on the first post looks pretty clear to me.

[up] It's extremely clear, but I'd prefer a movie poster or DVD cover...now, if that was taken from such, and we could get the actual cover, that'd be splendiferous.

But it doesn't include the "poster" part.

@8: The current image is not that bad, but it does very nearly duplicate the image from The Rock, and duplication is a general Image Pickin' faux-pas.

Maybe we could get an image of the Trope Namer?

Which James Bond movies have a cover with 007 pointing a gun at the camera?

I find the current image reasonably effective. Not being an exact duplicate I'm not too fussed about it being based off the poster used elsewhere. Vote to keep.

I'd be interested to know what the original source was.

I like the current image, I just don't like the www.somethingawful.com in the bottom left corner.

[up] That part doesn't bug me; we leave the Cracked.com addy on pics from there.

Current image is fine, though the gun could stand out more. Not that much of a reason to change it.

Especially since OP didn't give a reason, or any text.

If we can be bothered to make a collage of images from various movie posters, I'd vote for that. But the current one is good as is.

Image Links, there is nothing wrong with the current image. It is a correct example that doesn't hinder anyone's understanding of the trope. Put the others already uploaded on image links.

Should we get rid of the Something Awful bit on the bottom of the image, though? Regardless, the image is fine.
