1. Bean. We received complaints because the scene in the trailer where he destroys a laptop was not in the feature.
2. Scoop. (And, if I remember correctly, the last Woody Mono Allen trailer) is in full 5.1 stereo
Numerous other features where the trailer was “Scoped” to attach to a Scope feature.
Does anybody have any other recent examples?

I remember one from last year with Pirates O T C 2 , there were at least 3 scenes in the standard trailer which did not appear in the film , they were real good "one liners" to , one part was a scene with the cannibals another was on the beach being chased by natives and the third was he fell into the grave differently during the wooden wheel chase.

Anchorman had lots of footage not in the theatrical release.

Flushed Away had some other mice in the trailer with the main rat. In the movie they were gone...

Since trailers are made many months before the feature is completed, it's not unusual at all for the content to be different.

Or, sometimes scenes are shot and then used for the "extended" DVD version (which is almost never better than the original cut).

Or sometimes material is shot specifically for the trailers, not meant to be included in the movie. The upcoming "Bee Movie" comes to mind.

There's a shot in the Lemmony Snickets trailer not in the movie.

For what it's worth, there was one frame in the Apocalypto trailer that (I'm pretty sure) wasn't in the movie:

Hey there, Kill Bill trailer springs to mind. Used that one as an example when trying to explain to a very insistent customer who seemed to think I'd chopped part of a film out, to save time. She said she'd seen the trailer for whatever it was on 'Jonathan Ross', so of course that must be right.

I was disappointed when the music from the trailer for "Ever After" was not in the actual movie, nor on the soundtrack CD.

The strip scene in Grindhouse that was in the trailer but not Death Proof.

Has there ever been a trailer for the initial release that has used the score or songs from the film? Besides the unavailablility of the release music at trailer assembly time, the soundtrack for the trailer is always crafted to tie its movie to the success of a previous film.

Hmm. I'm sure that there was a time when trailers HAD to have only material that was in the feature itself: it was to do with Trade Practices, or false representation of goods, etc.

That was obviously in the time when you made a film then made the trailer afterwards. Now, when the trailer isn't so much a set of clips from the film as a separate advertising film in its own right, and is often out there in the cinema before the film itself is shot,things are different.

Maybe trailers should carry a disclaimer:" actual contents may vary" or similar! Otherwise patrons ought to be entitled to get their money back

Of course there's the classic example of the early SPIDERMAN trailer that was pulled after 9/11. Pulling them and editing the WTC out of the feature makes that older trailer still sell for $25-100 on ebay.

There's an early BLADERUNNER trailer (and a workprint) that features the song "If I Didn't Care" done by the Inkspots. When the producers felt they were being jacked around when they were asked to pony up $40,000 to use the song, they dropped it from the feature and inserted Don Percival's "One More Kiss Dear" in the release print.

I have a spidy trailer and I distinctly remember the Blade Runner trailer...they made a big deal about it being in Dolby Stereo...which wasn't don't back when it came out...only about 20% of the features at that time were stereo.

I seem to remember before 9/11 reading that the early trailer for Spider-Man was never intended to be in the feature, it was shot specifically as a trailer.

I've seen trailers for "Evan Almighty" where Evan is still a newsreader, and he's looking at the camera babbling incomprehensibly. However, when I saw the movie, Evan didn't do that at all before leaving the newsreader job!
