Real Trailer, Fake Movie: Difference between revisions

* All of the trailers in ''[[Grindhouse]]'' (''[[Machete]]'', ''Thanksgiving'', ''Don't!'', ''Hobo With A Shotgun'', and ''Werewolf Women of the SS''). In an unusual twist, both ''Machete'' and ''[[Hobo with a Shotgun]]'' got such a good reception that they [[Defictionalization|were made into actual movies]].

* ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ymFxkFfIhU Hardware Wars]'', by [[Ernie Fosselius]], was made seven months after the first release of ''A New Hope'' and is reputedly [[George Lucas]]' favorite ''[[Star Wars]]'' parody.

** Fosselius made several other parody trailers in the following years, including ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEkW4es9okU Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind]'' (''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]'') and ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF-Pk0md87o Porklips Now]'' (''[[Apocalypse Now]]'').

* The trailer for ''[[Italian Spiderman]]'' has to be seen to be (dis)believed. SUSPENSO! It was so well-received that it's was expanded into a series, presented as parts of a recently recovered copy of the full movie.

* Francesco Vezzoli's short film [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLK4mA9GgMo Trailer for a Remake of] [[Gore Vidal]]'s ''[[Caligula]]'' (NSFW for sexual content and nudity) is a fake trailer for a Caligula movie starring, among others, Benicio Del Toro, [[Helen Mirren]] and Karen Black.

* The movie ''Movie Movie'' had, in between its two main segments, a trailer for a fictitious [[World War II]] air battle movie called ''Zero Hour''.

* ''Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind'', a parody of ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]'', which involves aliens who hit people in the face with pies for no reason, singing mailboxes, and Darth Vader on a motorcycle telling the hero to stop holding up traffic.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3NwB9PLxss Movie: The Movie] from [[Jimmy Kimmel]] is a massive [[Genre Busting]] fake trailer starring a serious number of A-list Hollywood talent.

* [[Duck Hunt]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuEeNzXi9VU too]. Also available [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8BBxt1G3YE in 3D].

* [[Donkey Kong]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWbSpDCNHIw The Movie].

* ''The [[Oregon Trail]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHps2SecuDk movie].

* ''[[Fruit Ninja]]'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZkbxWMUfco the movie].

== Western Animation ==

* There was a trailer for a live action ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]'' movie on the Volume 1 DVD.

* ''[[Family Guy]]'' featured a trailer for ''[[The Passion of the Christ]] 2: [[Kung Fu Jesus|Crucify This]]''. That movie NEEDS to be made.

** ''[[X-Play]]'' did a similar thing, but with less Chris Tucker and more straight badassery. See the scene at the beginning where Jesus pulls himself off the cross and USES THE NAILS IN HIS HANDS AS WEAPONS.
