Line 231:
* ''The Plague Dogs''. The poster says "Escape to a different world and share the adventure of a lifetime." They honestly make it look like a happy children's movie. Movie Magic indeed.

But just for fun, let's look at the poster for ''[[On Her Majesty's Secret Service]]''. Bond wears a tux at some point. Bond and Tracy ski at some point. Piz Gloria explodes at the end when it's attacked by helicopters, and Blofeld does bobsleigh, and yes, his men do ski after Bond and Tracy.

* At least one North American DVD cover for ''Brassed Off'' presents it as a fluffy romantic comedy between Ewan McGregor and Tara Fitzgerald's characters, omitting both the rather bleak plot about the economic collapse of a mining community and the main character played by Pete Postlethwaite.
