- The following isnt an exhaustive list, but it certainly contains some of our absolute favorites.
The Extra-Terrestrial, but this teaser trailer at least gave them a fair warning.
Back To The Future (1985)
How far you going?
A disembodied voice asks Marty McFly.
About 30 years, he says, coolly.
A red planet surface.
Take my money, Carolco!
See also:Alien 3, and the story ideas that never made it to the screen.
For the first time, man and dinosaur shared the Earth.
We can recall there being a certain amount of intrigue surroundingThe Gameafter its announcement.
Alien3 was a murky film, and Seven was darker still.
What form wouldThe Gametake?
Who did this to me?
Thatd be John Williams wonderful, wonderful score.
He finds them too, without wishing to give the game away.
Its about an hour an a half!
The film, sadly, would look quite beautiful, but ultimately fail to catch on.
Last Action Hero (1993)
Sorry.
Arnold Schwarzeneggers return to action cinema, back in the early 90s, was a very big thing.
Unfortunately, despite its merits,Last Action Herowouldnt prove to be the big ticket for 93 at all.
That would prove to beJurassic Park.
Yep, the firstThe Muppetstrailer was basically in disguise.
We still remember the moment of glee when Kermit popped up, and we realised what wed actually got.
Its what followed that earnsThe Muppetsa place on this list, however.
Disney put out a series of trailers that were just designed to take the piss out of other films.
And few movies were safe.
Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade (1989)
Always loved this one.
Not a speck of footage from this ended up in the main feature.
Mores the pity, really…
The Addams Family (1991)
Love this.
Simple and effective, and introducing the fact thatThe Addams Familywas returning in a big screen feature.
We looked in some detail about the problems behind the scenes withThe Addams Family,here.
Rocky IV (1985)
My name is Drago.
Soon, the whole world will know my name.
Yes it will, Ivan Drago.
And the spirit of it is hinted at in this very first teaser for the film.
Its got just a little bit of film footage, with Gary Oldman in the title role.
Reed would take on the latter.
But do you remember when the original film was first announced?
This superb teaser trailer very much set the tone for what we were going to get.
