Don't believe the promos

Remember the promo for "Predators" 2010, where Adrien Body has a bunch of laser targets show up on his chest? Never happened in the movie. When Iron Man jumps out of the back of the plane and says, "You complete me!" Never happened in the movie. You can bet your left nut that not everything you've seen in the promos will show up in this movie. Anyone have any other examples? Can't wait for June 8!

No doubt Arnis....thats the beauty of this marketing campaign which is one of the best I've ever seen. you can bet your imax tickets that many of the scenes we have seen will not appear but will be scenes nonetheless.

The best example is Predators 2010. Promos made it look as if he's being chased by a dozen when it was only one.

There is also the chance that the order of scenes in the trailers and promos will be different to the finished product. The trailers would also leave out huge chunks of dialog and exposition. eg. "It's a star map?" "No. It's an invitation." This exchange makes absolutely no effing sense. There must be a chunk of dialog not shown in the trailers.

I'll guess the exposed skull in the dust storm never shows up. Seems a little hokey.

I'm curious whether they are going to show all the scenes from the trailers indeed. @TheSNARK I agree, that famous "It's a starmap! No, not a map, an invitation" is totally stupid, though it pretty much summarises the basic concept. In one of the earlier trailers we could hear "We're because of a map you two kids found in a cave?" "No, not a map, an invitation" That makes more sense. I hope that scene will also help define better the Fifield character, I am really looking forward to it.
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born. Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

Could be..... But i would only go as far as to the when Vickers says "a king has his reign and then he dies" I think the Water Fall scene happens, just we wont get Vickers Narative. Or maybe we will. Ridley had said that there is a beging of time sequence, thats filmed at the Water Fall in Ice Land, there will be a set of Footage that will explain the link to Alien and the events that led up to that movie (that has to be the Derelict on LV426 and how/why it got there) I am sure he also said that there will be a scene set on LV426 but the most of the movie is set on LV223. Looking at what we have seen in the Trailers i cant think of anything thats not going to make it to the movie..... I think look at the Alien Trailer, everything happened in the movie, but the Trailers only showed bits and peices. Thus i think despite all thats revealed, there will be far far more thats not revealed.

I'm pretty sure the laser sight scene happened in Predators. I'm 100% certain Ironman said those lines as he was jumping out of the plane. I remember must if the scenes being in Paranormal 3. There was a brief scene of interrogation in district 9. I think one of us has a bad memory lol Just sayin...

There was a scene in an Alien 3 promo where Ripley is hanging off some tower and says "For the last time!". I'm guess it was right before or after the Alien has the water dumped on it and it fractures. Never showed up in the movie in the theater, I've never watched the extended cut so maybe it's in there.

When Janek says, "Prometheus has landed!" Willing to bet that that will not be in the movie at all.

I guarantee that the cobra hugger scene shown in the latest trailer won't be in the actual movie.

The last scene from the Twister trailer, with the wheel flying through the windshield, that never happened in the movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&NR=1&v=OgG2jfBfLzI

Here is a huge list of scenes not found in the movies that they are promoting, it is a common type of b.s. marketing. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MissingTrailerScene

Based on sarcasm. There's really no way to know what will, and won't show up in the movie.
