A driving instructor in Germany called in armed police after spotting a cardboard cutout of Pierce Brosnan in full James Bond mode and mistaking it for an armed man.
The driving instructor had been driving past a flat in Augsburg when he looked into a window and saw the cutout, complete with gun, staring back at him. He phoned police, who sent an armed unit to deal with the 'gunman'.
However when police arrived at the scene they simply found that the potential shooter was a cardboard cutout of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, which was being used to promote a special offer on James Bond films.
