Alien Vs Ninja: Seriously.Star Trek V: Why are they putting seatbelts in theatres this Summer? (great bad tagline to a great bad movie)Stealth: Fear the SkyThat was just off the top of my head for pure awesomeness. An honorable mention goes to Wing Commander: An Action Packed Thrill Ride!

It's too bad there isn't a movie with the tagline "You're dead, your friends are dead, your family's dead, your pets are being skinned alive, your mom's a whore, you suck at life, the whole world hates you, you're going to hell, live with it, game over."

Perhaps that will make it as the tagline for the AVGN movie? That would be awesome.

Ocean's 12: "12 is the new 11!" Also, 6 is the new 5 and Pi is the new 3! Please calibrate your equipment accordingly!

:)I enjoyed the first remake of Oceans 11 but after that they just drowned in a sea of pretentiousness. The sequels seemed to be overflowing with smug, which was a shame because I really like Matt Damon and Scott Caan.

Dracula's Daughter: "She gives you that weird feeling!"Don't Go in the Woods Alone: "Everyone has nightmares about the ugliest way to die."

Those are both new to me and both really bad. LOL"She gives you that weird feeling?" Like when we used to climb the rope in gym class?

I don't see the Freaks tagline as being bad. At the time the movie was released, little people were still nothing more than exploitation fodder at best, so having one be the main character was something different (just like everything else in that movie); I doubt there were many romances between midgets and "normals" at that point, and especially not many well-known ones. Also, the tagline is actually about the plot of the film, not just a slightly offensive non-sequitor.(Freaks was a really interesting movie, everyone should watch it. Oddly progressive for what it was)

Freaks is a very odd movie. I definitely makes you uncomfortable at points. Yeah, the tagline made sense in the context of the film. It does make me laugh though, even though when it was first used marrying a midget was major taboo.

It seems a little bit of a cheat to use DVD covers. The original tagline from the poster of "The Invention of Lying" is "In a world where everyone can only tell the truth... this guy can lie." Which is still somewhat redundant, but at least explains the concept and explains why he would need to invent it.And the taglines on IMDb for "Hercules in New York" are even more absoludicrous. "Boys! Girls! It's Big Fun!" Okay.

Also, do you think the "Flesh Eaters" people meant to say "paralyzed with fear" and got mixed up somehow?
11/23/2011 1:11:21 PM
Most likely that was what happened. Probably the guy in charge of marketing the film mixed up the sayings. Unless back in the 60s the saying was "sterilized with fear".
12/3/2011 2:14:05 AM
I almost want to start using sterilized with fear and see who notices.
11/23/2011 1:09:40 PM
Well, I figured if it was used to promote the movie it was fair game. That other Hercules in NY tag is hilariously stupid. Somebody should use it on their wedding invitations. lol

The excessive coyness of the Deliverance tagline seems really presumptuous and misplaced. Someone going by the poster alone could be forgiven for expecting more of an action-adventure-comedy thing.And I really like the Flesh Eaters one because it makes me imagine the filmmaker as this wacky Samuel Goldwyn type of character.
11/22/2011 2:24:49 AM
Yikes. I can imagine some folks going to the movies and expecting a buddy film, only to get...Deliverance.
