Great/surprising movie taglines...

A blog just pointed me to this one. I LOL’ed, I admit it. As the blog said, one would almost suspect the only reason the movie was made was so they could use the tagline.

Any others as funny? Or just intensely cool?

Alien

1st one that came to my mind.

Not funny, but so cool i absolutely HAD to see the movie.
.

Okay, I snickered.

Wow, that has a surprisingly good cast.

I just was reminded of one today…Alien vs Predator.

I once read somewhere that the title of the Monkees film Head was specifically chosen so that if there was a follow-up, the tagline could read “From the men who gave you Head…”

That may just be a rumour though.

Unfortunately I can’t recall any **great **taglines, only the really terrible one from Cocktail:

When he pours, he reigns.

Sorry.

It’s hard to beat Blazing Saddles.

I came here to post this. Just watched the movie again last night, in fact.

This one KILLED me at the movie theater when I saw it a few weeks back:

I’m glad I found the article linked above. I thought maybe I was the only one with a dirty, dirty mind.

Even without the sexual inneundo, that Yogi Bear poster is horrifying. The crazed ecstatic facial expressions and extreme close-up shudder

Don’t Open Till Christmas had a famously macabre tagline.

The Mutilator

By Sword, By Pick, By Axe, Bye Bye

:eek:

Based on the tagline, and the poster, one would think Yogi is buggering Boo Boo.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - “Makes Ben Hur look like an Epic”

I don’t get it

Saga = sucka, I think.

You know, I have come back to your example a few times:

It’s funny, to be sure, but from a nitpicky standpoint, the second part is NOT a “tagline” - it’s a “blurb” or an “endorsement” or something…it wasn’t crafted by the studio like “Alien - In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream”…

…Carry on.

Walk Hard’s tagline always made me chuckle.

Um, I think he meant this part:

Tagline: He came into town with his cock in hand, and what he did with it was illegal in 49 states.
