Line 352:
* In the [[Nicolas Cage]] movie ''[[Knowing]]'', trailers presented viewers with a question: if you knew when and where a disaster was going to happen, could you stop it? It promised a film about a hero deciding what he was willing to sacrifice in order to save strangers from events only he knew were coming. Instead, it becomes a head against wall moment when the list of dates and locations (and body counts) turned out to be [[Aborted Arc|entirely pointless]] and the movie ends with [[Higher-Tech Species|benevolent]] [[Ass Pull|aliens]] loading up [[Last of His Kind|humans and animals]] into [[Fling a Light Into the Future|space arks]] to save them from an unavoidable [[Apocalypse How|Class 6 apocalypse]].
* The trailer for ''Party Monster: The Shockumentary'' featured a prominent clip of one of the club kids talking about the rumors that initially surrounded the disappearance of Angel Melendez, including that his "head was cut off and was in someone's freezer in Brooklyn." Its placement in the trailer makes it seem like this was fact.
* The trailers for ''[[Your Highness]]'' make [[James Franco]] and [[Natalie Portman]] out to be equal billing with star/co-writer Danny McBride. In actuality, most of Franco's screen time takes place in the middle of the film and Portman doesn't show up for the first 45 minutes. Fourth-billed [[Zooey Deschanel]] is nothing more than an extended cameo (which somehow became an [[Averted Trope]] as she was barely in the trailers).
* The trailer for ''Youth in Revolt'' made it look like Nick's family is living in a trailer home, when really, they were only staying in the trailer during the summer.
* The trailer for ''[[Kingdom of Heaven]]'' shows a long clip of a sex scene with Orlando Bloom, no doubt luring some female fans into the cinemas expecting a longer version of the scene. In actual fact, the couple of seconds we see in the trailer are probably even longer than what actually appears in the movie.
