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

Pearl Harbor

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

Blade runner (the OG one), kangaroo jack (and a very similar trailer I don’t remember with talking dogs?), Toys (maybe not exactly misleading per se, just chaotic as shit? Lots of hype but you had no clue what you were about to watch?), the village…

Definitely more, but most of it goes back far enough that I don’t really remember enough specifics to place the shit.

Kangaroo Jack…I was legitimately outraged when I finally got to watch the movie after seeing trailers

2011s Drive, great movie, just not what they advertised.

This piece of interview with Roger Corman on Joe Dante’s work on trailers is my fawourite:

Were there any elements that you had to tell Dante to tone down?

Not really. There was one memorable moment when Joe showed me a trailer for a picture just before lunch. I said, “Joe, it’s alright, but it isn’t quite as exciting as I would like it to be.” He said, “Let me work on it through lunch.” I came back after lunch, and it was exactly the same trailer, trimmed a little bit, with an exploding helicopter. I said, “Joe, that’s an exploding helicopter from a war picture we shot in the Philippines!” He said, “Well, don’t you think it helps the trailer?” It did. It was great. And I thought about it for a little while, and I figured, there’s no law that says every scene in a trailer has to be in the picture. So we left it in. After that, whenever Joe had a dull moment in a trailer, he would add the exploding helicopter.”

Fantastic 4: rise of the silver surfer.

Not only the trailer but during the whole movie there is this big build up to a reveal/fight of Galactus.

Was so hyped to see that by only be so disappointed seeing the silver surfer go in to the clouds and say “stop” and that was it…

Like what the fuck! Still salty about that one…
