Highlander: Endgame, original trailer showed the villain, Jacob Kell, as some kind of sorcerer. Suffice it to say, they removed all of the “magic” in the released film. The trailer can still be seen with a quick YouTube search.

District 9.

The movie trailer I saw before another movie made it seem like a standard issue shitty action movie. It was not.

Yeah it’s pretty good.

The trailer for Speed made it look like garbage when it was actually really fun.

Amazing no one has mentioned Bridge to Terabithia (2007). The screenwriters disavowed the trailers, iirc. Looks like a cute kids fantasy movie, starts out leaning that way with a middle-school Manic Pixie Dream Girl, then turns hard into being completely real life and extremely tragic. 14-year old me was not prepared.

Mother! (2017) with Jennifer Lawrence was not even the same genre I thought it would be.

Godzilla (2014) The trailer showed it as a Godzilla movie starring Bryan Cranston. Instead Cranston only had a brief cameo at the start of the movie and the whole movie was about a couple MUTO creatures, not Godzilla. Godzilla basically only had a couple cameos in the movie. I think most people who didn’t like it just didn’t like being tricked by the trailer.

Man of the Year (2006) looked like it was going to be a lighthearted Dave-esque movie about a comedic everyman president finding common sense solutions through his hijinks. It pivoted pretty quickly.

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom had a major part of the plot completely left out of the trailer, which I appreciated, but there were multiple suspenseful moments with the resolution in the trailer which was a bummer.

From Dusk Til Dawn. I actually quite enjoyed the unexpected about-face in genre midway through the film, however.

From what I’ve heard, Barbie 😅

Kangaroo Jack

They heavily featured the talking kangaroo that was only part of a short dream sequence in the movie.

Does this thing ever work for anyone?

Snow Dogs with Cuba Gooding Jr did the exact same thing

Iron Man 3.

Led us to believe Ben Kingsley was going to be a badass villain only to be revealed that he was an actor.

Vanilla Sky. I remember the trailers making it seem like it would blow my mind. Was so disappointed when I eventually saw it.

Snow Dogs heavily marketed a couple of minutes bit so it seemed like the entire movie.
