Wadey Wilsoney Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) You hear the name of a movie you haven't heard of before, think you might have an idea what it's about, only for the actual film to be about something completely different.For instance, did you know there are no lesbians in the movie Les Girls?

Impact Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Boy and his Dog is nothing about a boy and his dog. And I thought Black Swan was a pirate film when I heard the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Quite a few b movies...one "Horrors of Spider Island" was not about a island full of spiders...basically if your a 12 year old boy or a dirty old man though, its a film for you.

Jake Gittes Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Friedkin's SORCERER. Apparently one of the reasons it flopped back in the day was actually because people assumed it had fantasy elements in it, when it was in fact a gritty thriller. (although the release of Star Wars a month earlier was a bigger reason). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The Hurricane-quite a few people thought it was a disaster film when in fact it was a boxing drama. I know quite a few that I have thought was something else. (It is really late-having trouble sleeping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Silence of the Lambs-there were no lambs, and it wasn't silent! One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest-I waited the ENTIRE movie for that cuckoo (I know this title actually makes sense as it is about crazy people-but I could not resist) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stingray Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Actual title - Jason Takes Manhattan. More accurate title - Jason Takes Manhattan for like 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Freddie Got Fingered - Freddie didn't get fingered at all! (thank God). Hangover 3 - the title would suggest that it was like part 1 and 2....definitely not. There Will be Blood - eh, not really, the bowling alley scene notwithstanding. No Country for Old Men - well, the average age of the characters in the movie were well over 40 and I'm sure there were some octogenarians living in the American west at the time of.....ah forget it...I got nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Steve Martin during the 2000 Oscars: (This was about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) "I waited the entire movie for the tiger and dragon.

dashrendar44 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Little off-topic but totally fit in the "deceptive" adjective as in "deceptive movie poster", I think many were bummed when they waited the whole movie to have this shot that never came: Back on topic, I thought Paddy Considine's Tyranosaur was a Jurassic Park rip-off and waited for a T-rex to pop up in British foggy country ripping into sheep. Gilliam's Brazil doesn't even take place in Brazil. Reservoir Dogs is not a drama about abandoned dogs hanging around a reservoir at my own disappointment.

vc2002 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon? Although it's a literal translation of the Chinese idiom "卧虎藏龙" which means a lot of hidden or unnoticed talents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
