Never Trust a Trailer/Film: Difference between revisions

* The trailer(s) for ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' give the impression it's an action movie with lots of guns and explosions. It isn't, as it is a parody of those movies, meaning this could probably count as a subversion.

** Well, they at least made it clear that the film was heavy on comedy.

* ''[[Diary of a Mad Black Woman]]'' does this. The entire trailer portrays the antics of a crazy, elderly black woman, so the movie's title makes it seem like they're talking about a ''crazy'' black woman. Couldn't be farther from the truth; the only way those clips have any plot relevance is that the black woman seen in the trailer has a minor part in the plot. The movie is actually about a black woman who's angry (aka, "mad") at her husband for cheating on her and throwing her out of the house, and her schemes at getting back at him.

** To elaborate, the majority of the trailer shows the Tyler Perry character Madea, and her typical smart-ass comments. However, the actual story involved her ''granddaughter'' Helen. In fact, all of Madea's scenes in the trailer were almost all of her scenes ''in the movie.''
