* This trope could apply to genre expectations as well as to fans of a series. If you look at the message board for any mystery, no matter how wild a twist it employs, there are always jaded fans who say "I saw the ending coming a mile away". ''[[A Perfect Getaway]]'' is written with great [[Genre Savvy|situational awareness]] regarding this tendency, and gives no indication as to which of three possible directions the film is going to go. Then it has multiple screenwriter characters, who lampshade the whole thing by discussing [[Red Herring|red herrings]], while awash in them.
* [[Rob Zombie]] was fond of putting phony trailers in his movies, which appeared to advertise a movie that he never intended to make. For example, ''[[Grindhouse]]'' was an [[Anthology]] movie which had ''five'' phony trailers, one before each actual story. The most notable was likely ''Werewolf Women of the SS'', which seemed to involve female Nazi [[Super Soldier]]s in [[Dominatrix]] gear. He even got [[Nicholas Cage]] himself to make a cameo in that one, as [[Fu Manchu]]. (Yes, [[It Makes Just As Much Sense in Context]], but this is Rob Zombie we're talking about.) Fans of Zombie shouldn't get their hopes up, however, as he has confirmed it will not be a real movie.
** ''[[Machete]]'', on the other hand, was another phony trailer, which did indeed become a real movie later.
