I can’t get enough of those fake movie trailers. You know the type I mean, where someone will make a trailer for a movie to make it look like a completely different genre.
For example, my favorite is this one:
10 Things I Hate About Commandments
Recommend me some other good ones!
Oh, my favorite is definitely the spoof prefiew for The Shining. This is hilarious.
Scary Mary Poppins
Titanic: Two the Surface
Wife Force One
ObiWan (Rocky spoof)
I got nothin’, at least not as far as a linky to a viddy.
However, I was much amused by SCTV’s 1977 skit The Man Who Would Be King of the Popes.
Not quite what you’re asking for, but I was deeply disappointed when Blow’d Up did not actually get made. It has a “Snakes on a Plane” kind of appeal in its simplicity.
I remember a longer trailer, one with more explosions, (including at least a semi), but I can’t find it.
Not exactly what you want. It’s a student made trailer for a film that doesn’t exist, but still worth seeing :
*Grayson *:
(in which Robin hunts for Batman’s killer)
Not only that, but Anna Nicole Smith appears as if she was actually acting in it! (Her role in Naked Gun 33 1/3 wasn’t that bad, but you could still tell that she was, well, Anna Nicole Smith.)
That one was absolutly insane. I’m a bit disappointed it’s not a real movie.
Found this one : Glen & Gary & Glen & Ross
Do not play this one at work.
If you look at this at work, turn your speakers down: Glen & Gary & Glen & Ross
ETA: Dammit, shoulda previewed. Too slow.
The Terminator recut as a chick flick
Not a recut trailer exactly, but this is hilarious :
(uses Goodfellas audio, some strong language)
Frodo and Sam: Secret Lovers
TBS ad for The Lord of the Rings
In this case, they have a screenplay, and managed to film enough scenes for a trailer. I’d love it if they could film the whole movie: The South Will Rise Again.
Check out Loose Shoes(1980). It’s a whole movie of fake trailers. It’s hit or miss, but the ones that hit are outrageously funny!
