Worst Tag Line for a movie?

DrumSteve · 14-07-2011 03:53PM #1

Seen the poster off "The Mechanic" with Jason Statham the other day. The tag line just left me a bit perplexed.

"Someone has to fix the problems".

I mean, what the **** does that even mean? What problems? Does he fix cars? Whos problems are they? And after watching the film I'm not much wiser.

Really? Who comes up with this crap? Lets explain it with the picture shall we? Here give him a rope,give him a gun, make him look well 'ard?

Bollocks.

Commando

If there's a mission that no man could survive...then *he's* the man for the job. :pac:

or

Somewhere... somehow... someone's going to pay :pac:

:pac::pac:

Does pure cheese count?

Nah pure cheese is great.

I meant tag lines that make no sense at all though.

Day of the Dolphin's tag line takes the biscuit for me,

"Unwittingly, he trained a dolphin to kill the president of the United States."

I always thought the one for Jerry Maguire was bad...

'Everybody Loved Him. Everybody Disappeared'.

What, was he a mass murderer? Or did a virus get them all?

The most heartbreaking i've seen is:

Danny Boyle's Sunshine
"their mission: to save the world"

probably stopped billions from ever watching the feckin excellent film

Down Periscope (awful mid-nineties submarine-based comedy with Kelsey Grammer)

None are coming to mind that fit the bill but as a place holder i want to add the cheesiest tagline of all time, i know thats not what youre asking for OP but it has to be said.

The film in question is the hilariously terrible zombie nazi film "Dead Snow" but with the hilariously brilliant tagline:

Ein! Zwei! Die!

If a tagline is designed to make you remember the film then mission accomplished Dead Snow guys, Bravo.

There's a blog for everything these days, and taglines are no exception. Here are some samples from Tagline Guru:

It’s not like they didn’t warn us. (Signs)
The coast is toast. (Volcano)
This Christmas, the snow hits the fan. (The Santa Clause)
Which witch is which? (Wicked Stepmother)
It’s The Godfather on laughing gas. (Married to the Mob)

Jaws the Revenge: "This Time, It's Personal..."

Prison of The Dead: "There’s no parole…in hell!"

Orgy of the Dead: "Are you hetrosexual...?"

There was a crap movie in the horror section of Chartbusters a few years back, i think it was called either The Kitchen 2 or The Fridge 2, and the tagline was...'Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the kitchen'.

I was expecting so much more out of this, i was so disappointed back in the day.

The Adjustment Bureau "bourne meets inception":rolleyes:

Green Zone "bourne goes to iraq":rolleyes:

norrie rugger · 26-07-2011 11:08AM

Agree with above. They were reviewer comments that marketing ran with, even if totally inacurate

Robotnic · 26-07-2011 11:36AM

I found "This summer..... pirates rule the seas but snakes rule the skies" a bit cheesey but funny :-)

Was that even a reviewer comment? The Adjustment Bureau wasn't like either of those films....
