True Romance (Trailer) - aka How Marketing Failed This Movie

True Romance bombed at the box office but later became a hit on video after Quentin Tarantino became a big name and people found out he wrote the script for this movie. Watching this trailer you can see how the studio was clueless on how to market this movie. I remember seeing this trailer in the theater and my wife and I agreeing that it didn't look worth checking out. Thanks to video it turned out to be one of my favorite movies.

Great movie. They should re-release it.
No, don't say that! Nowadays they remake films as bad copies... If they hear you, they'll do it.


Definitely not re-make it, I agree.
I meant re-release it .. the original movie. With proper marketing etc.

I too remember seeing the trailer in front of a few movies in summer 1993 and being uninterested. Then my friend told me it had the coolest "talking" and best violence he had ever seen in a movie, so I rented it. I was absolutely blown away. I've owned a few different versions, and I've probably watched the movie two dozen times. It didn't hurt that I was working occasionally at a comic book store around the time I saw it.
