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](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1kqqMXWEFs) Recommend me some other good ones! ---

Oh, my favorite is definitely the spoof prefiew for [The Shining](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf7h6o3I8yw). This is hilarious. ---

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](http://youtube.com/watch?v=td4VEGiIQmk) 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 \*: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct0ahvI9nEs) (in which Robin hunts for Batman’s killer) ---

(Her role in _Naked Gun 33 1/3_ wasn’t that bad, but you could still tell that she was, well, Anna Nicole Smith.) ---

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](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5-h48ItpMY). ---

Check out [**Loose Shoes** (1980)](http://imdb.com/title/tt0076582/). It’s a whole movie of fake trailers. It’s hit or miss, but the ones that hit are outrageously funny! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fake-movie-trailers/401167.md?page=2)
