Other movies that feature FAKE trailers

#1

Grindhouse appears to be the first movie in many years that will have fake trailers included. What else has there been? I can only come up with:



The Kentucky Fried Movie

Catholic High School Girls in Trouble

That’s Armageddon

Cleopatra Schwartz



UHF

Gandhi 2



History of the World Part I

History of the World Part II



The one on Scrooged where Lee Majors plays a Commando. What was that called?

#2

Didnt Amazon Women On The Moon have fake trailers? I cant remember.

#3

Not sure if this one counts, but how about Angels Live in My Town on Boogie Nights?



The music sure kicks ass!

#4

Sure any movie with Fake trailers for movies that dont exist are fine. Im trying to think of others…



“MANT” in Joe Dante’s Matinee (1993).

#5

“Gutterballs” in The Big Lebowski, perhaps? Not an actual fake trailer, but pretty close.

#6

Damn, can’t believe I forgot ATTACK OF THE KILLER STREET PIMPS in Hollywood Shuffle. Although I think that was more of a movie-clip than a trailer.



Not sure if these had some:



Last Action Hero

Bowfinger

…And God Spoke (I think the trailer plays at the very end)

The Majestic

Living in Oblivion

#7

Freddy got fingered: Zebras in America ;D

#8

Three Amigos had a fake movie in it, but not a trailer.
