Some group in Los Angeles is mocking 'hypocrite' Liam Neeson's anti-gun stance with some clever posters

Actor Liam Neeson sparked a controversy in mid-January when he went off on a rant against guns, saying, “There’s too many f***ing guns out there,” Neeson continued. “Especially in America."

The star of "Taken" and other movies that prominently feature handguns being used by him and his co-stars found himself the focus of criticism from companies like PARA USA, an American company that has since cut ties with him.

This weekend, Neeson's latest film, "Run All Night," is opening and posters advertising the release have been plastered all over major markets.

The fact that the anti-gun actor's new movie is prominently displaying a handgun in advertising was not lost on an anonymous Los Angeles-based group of artists.

On Wednesday, the underground group reportedly began posting some parody ads for a Liam Neeson movie called "Gun All Right."

The word "gun" replaces "run" and "right" replaces "night" in the film's title and a slug line beneath the title reads, "One hypocrite laughing all the way to the bank."

TheBlaze was sent a variety of images showing the posters on bus shelters around Los Angeles.

The posters are located in the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Century City, Westwood, Pacific Palisades and near UCLA's "Sorority Row."
