not to mention the slapstick 'face hits something' moment
or the burp at the end of the trailer to make the kids go 'wow, that looks worth seeing'
I do enjoy those links where they recut trailers to make them different films, such as the shining as a comedy.
Its amazing how much power a trailer has over the film. I think it was solaris or something that had a trailer that made it look like 'Alien', rather than the subtle, lovely film it was.

I know exactly what you mean.
Sometimes it can work in the film's favour, but in some cases, like Inglorious Basterds, it made it look like a light hearted Nazi fighting romp, which it, well, wasn't.
The exposition in a trailer is very important too. For example, people complain the Dark Knight Rises trailer shows nothing at all. I disagree; I'd still be satisfied if it's the only trailer released for it.
