Trailers that promise the opposite of what the film delivers.
Anyone ever see those YouTube videos that create a humorous fake trailer by cherry-picking scenes to create the impression of a film that's the exact opposite of the actual movie?
Someone did 'Mary Poppins' as a horror film, and 'The Shining' as a comedy.
The thing is, people have make trailers for actual films that offer an impression of the film that is wildly different from the film itself.
I remember the trailer for 'Brassed Off'; it made the film out to be a quirky, cute British rom-com, when it turned out to be a relatively dark, bitter film about labor unrest.
The trailer for 'The Road To Wellville' made the film come across as a fun period musical (there were no musical numbers in the film, but the trailer showed one scene of the characters singing in unison, and made it look like a musical number) instead of the black comedy satire it was.
Strange...
