Title: Trailers that make it unnecessary to watch the show
Post by: 6pairsofshoes on April 30, 2024, 09:42:31 AM: I'm reading Edward Bulwer-Lytton's "Last Days of Pompeii," which is actually a decent book. Apparently, there have been several movies made based on the plot. I was digging around on youtube and found this campy 1980's trailer that fits this thread. If you find others that are total spoiler fests, feel free to post them here.

But there again the whole movie is about 2 minutes and 40 seconds long, repeated forty-two times!

Now you've spoilt it for everyone else.
