No actual film footage. Just bunch of Ralph McQuarrie’s concept arts. love it!

That is a cracking trailer.

And the T2 teaser where they show the production line of a Terminator is great.

Some good ones. I loved the batman begins teaser as well.

Trailers used to be so much better. Just look at those listed on this page.

Independence Day had some good teasers as well.

I wish I had been at comic-con to see this not announced surprise teaser of
Tron Legacy http://youtu.be/iFxMhlNC3ss

I could only imagine how crazy the crowed went. lol at least those that remember the first movie.

Yah those 2 are great & cool as hell.
Ones I haven't post like the first teasers to Jurrasic Park and Independence Day are pretty damn good.
As are 300, Watchmen & of course SW: The Phantom Menace

That Cliffhanger trailer. Just wow. Goose pimples.

I enjoyed the Rocky 4 trailer more than Cliffhanger. I just feel they showed way too much of the action sequence in the movie.
They couldn't cut it in half and made a better trailer.

But it's all shown too fast to really register for a spoiler. The trailer is just superbly cut and the choice of music is epic. The Rocky IV teaser is amazing too, but for different reasons. It creates anticipation without showing anything, and I always love teasers that were filmed purely for that reason.

Rambo III also has a nice trailer. It's where the knife slowly reveals itself while showing clips from the film. Get Carter's trailer is also very effective, with a great choice of music, the trailer just fills you with excitement.

One of the ALL-TIME best teasers

Alien (1979)....In space no one can hear you scream

That's one of the best comic book trailers

EPIC

What's funny is if you watch the Rambo First Blood Part II teaser, they are very similar. Looks like they shot them on the same day. Stallone just changed shorts and tied up different boots.

Some of my favorites not mentioned yet.






The original, no one ever saw a trailer this boss back in the day!

I don't know which teaser exactly you are referring to, but the one I saw is nothing a like. The Rambo 2 teaser is good, but relatively weak, compared to other, especially nothing like the Rocky 4 teaser.

Face/Off, The Fugitive and Superman are all ACE, great trailers...Psycho 2 though, not sure what's that one doing in an otherwise fabulous list.

I think horror movie trailers are tough, and were especially terrible in the early 80s, but there were some really great ones like Friday the 13th part III, The Thing. I think Psycho II just is a perfect sequel trailer to what many considered the scariest film of all time. For instance, the Hannibal trailers are so weak by comparison. The, music, and just closing shot of Norman's mom's window turning on when he's out side is just so friggin cool. These are probably the only two good horror movie trailers of the entire 90s.

This was the teaser. Same as the Rocky IV one, dark room, high shadows with simple lights, some fog. Stallone tying his shoes. Rocky one is obviously leagues better, but style is definitely the same between the two.

Probably the best trailer for a comedy movie, since they days of like Blazing Saddles. I remember people hating the 2nd film so much and the third film just destroying the October record by like 40%. Say what you want of the movie, but it was such an effective trailer. I remember seeing some comedy and everyone laughed at the Michael Jackson joke in the trailer more than the entire film.

Also, I've made a thread for this one before. But hands down one of the coolest/ inventive teasers ever. People stuck in an Post Star Wars/ Indiana Jones era of hype don't realize how batshit crazy people went over anything. I mean, this is so cool, it's a teaser just about going into production and it's super effective.

I certainly agree with the Texas Chainsaw trailer. Probably my favorite trailer ever. And I never even saw the movie.

The movie's not terribly good, but that trailer is incredible. I still remember the opening night crowd reaction at Freddy Vs. Jason.
