Does Not Illustrate: Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangster

Aside from looking blurry and off-color, the image misses any indication that the guy in the center is a criminal of any kind. Frankly, it looks like a man who's either polyamorous or hiring two prostitutes, but not a gangster.

Perhaps Lord of War does it better◊, or Johnny Dangerously, or a crop of this movie poster◊.

Here's◊ a better version of 1.2. 1.3's quality is really off, but I couldn't find a better quality version. 1.1 just seems like an arms deal to me.

1.2 works.

2

2 works. I rather like 1.3 as well though. (Albeit, probably with a crop.)

2.

2 is probably the best option.

Thanks for the quality upgrade. Yes, #2 is good.

2 works, but I like 1.3 better, especially if we could find a quality upgrade.

1.1. is on Arms Dealer.

Here's the other two suggestions at wiki size:

ETA: I dunno, despite the quality issues I also favor Al Capone/1.3. JD/1.2 looks more "goofy" than "badass" by comparison, like it'd be a better fit for Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters.

for Al Capone.

Johnny Dangerously is on Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters...I’d be fine with putting 1.2 on that page and using the crop of 1.3 here.

For the record, 1.3 is actually a foreign porn film so it’ll go on the “P5 works” list if/when it’s approved.

Oh, is it porn? I think that pushes my vote a little bit more towards 1.2. I like 1.3 slightly better, but maybe not enough that I want to give up the chance to link to another work on the wiki.

I don't see it shown as an image, though.

By my count that's eight people in favor of 2 (quality upgrade of 1.2); does this need a crowner?

I'd've put it up already but there's the question about it possibly being a better fit for Friendly Neighborhood Gangster, which I'm inclined to say it's a better fit for.

I agree — 1.3 for this trope and 1.2 for Neighborhood Friendly Gangster

Right, good point. Yes, I agree with 1.3 here and 1.2 on FNG.

1.2 for Friendly Neighborhood Gangster; 1.3 for here.

Bump?

I vote for 1.3/11.1, although I question how 1.2 illustrates "being sympathetic to the audience" to qualify as Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters

I think it's more about the overall tone of the pic, it has a lighter feel than 1.3.

At the very least, I think consensus has shifted enough toward using 1.3 on this page, so it's in and tagged. I'll have to relocate the source to get the tag 100% accurate. Caption?
