Have you ever seen something amazing in a movie trailer, then been annoyed when it was never actually the finished film?

This actually happens WAY more often than you’d think. Just last year for example the ‘Jurassic World’ director admitted that the impressive CGI gates in the trailer won’t be in the finished film (see above).

- Bond Girls: Then and Now

- The Breakfast Club: Then and Now



Remember, trailers are released while the filmmakers are still editing the film, so sometimes entire scenes that are glimpsed in the trailer might be completely excised from the final cut.

In some cases, footage is shot just for the teaser trailer, and the director has no intention whatsoever of including it in the final film.

Here are some of the most awesome movie scenes you’ll only ever see in the trailer.

‘Batman Returns’

Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman can be seen laughing away on a bed in the Penguin’s office at the 1:39 mark. This particular shot never appeared in the final film, which is a shame as it’s superb. Watch it above.

‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’

When you think of how time-consuming this film must been to shoot and animate, it’s amazing any scenes were cut, but the first trailer revealed a scene where Bob Hoskins’ Eddie Valiant wearing an animated pig head. The cut scene can be seen in full on the DVD extras.

‘Predators’

This pay off shot from the first trailer for Robert Rodriguez’s ‘Predators’ saw Adrien Brody’s Royce being targeted by dozens of Predators. “COOL!” everyone thought.

In the final film, only three are hunting him. Not so cool.

‘Terminator 2’

Here’s an example of a teaser trailer which features zero footage from the final film. It shows a Terminator endoskeleton being built from scratch before the living flesh of Arnold Schwarzenegger is added. It reveals nothing of the film’s plot aside from Arnie’s perfectly sculpted abs. Watch it above.

‘Iron Man 2’
