Just days after Amazon was spotted having replaced the poster for 12 Angry Men with an AI-generated monstrosity, the company is facing another poster-related backlash. It seems Amazon took it upon itself to redesign the classic poster for Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket – drawing the ire of the one of the film's stars.
The phrase 'Born to Kill' was unceremoniously wiped from the helmet depicted in Philip Castle's iconic poster design (arguably one of the best movie posters of all time). The slogan, emblazoned on the helmet worn by the film's Pvt. Joker, appears next to a 'peace sign' badge – with the juxtaposition designed to represent "the duality of man".
