Author Topic: The worst policy trailer EVER??? Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-08-2003 01:25 AM                     Anyone think they can top this one for worst policy trailer of all time? I seriously doubt Lowes actually used this one, but if they did...no, I don't even want to think about it. KOKO the policy gorilla! LARGE version 3.8 megs SMALL version 2.1 megs Both sizes in QuickTime format.  |  IP: Logged Jason Whyte Expert Film Handler Posts: 132 From: Victoria, BC, Canada Registered: Sep 2002 posted 02-08-2003 01:35 AM                        Is this for real?? I thought those "Generic Policy Ads" for independent theaters were pretty awful, but that's pretty terrible.....

This whole thing is dumb  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-08-2003 02:46 AM                     That trailer brought me a lot of joy. I busted a gut and I'm still laughing. Without a doubt, it's the funniest thing I've seen all day. I loved it! Was that Joe's idea?  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

I have a few litter-bug customers i'd like him to "take care of"  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-08-2003 03:10 AM                        KOKO the policy gorilla kicks ass! He even manhandles the customers FORCING them to buy a large popcorn! KOKO should be the new Film-Tech mascot! PS - Manny, no that was not my idea. If it were, I think you'd being seeing A) Better video B) Perhaps a shot or two done on a tripod. C) Better humor D) More violence E) 5.1 audio  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 02-08-2003 04:00 AM                        I dont want to spoil the joke guys but that was from the "Little film big screen" contest or whatever it was called, It was a contest where our guests were invited to make thier own policy trailers and enter them in the contest. btw its Loews not Lowes thats the hardware store  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

I'd love to have a 35mm print of this one....  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-08-2003 01:23 PM                     Sorry about the spelling Sean. (Perhaps Loews should sue Lowes for screwing up the general public's spelling with their home improvement centers.) Policy trailer contest? Wow, that idea sure backfired. I mean this thing is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! Got any more we could add to start a collection of terrible policy ad attempts? Joe you forgot: F) Lots of blood spilled  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 02-08-2003 02:06 PM                     Have you ever considered making a 'Filmguard' ad? Something like the Spoonguard ad: http://www.rathergood.com/spoonguard/  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-08-2003 04:12 PM                       Okay, since we're talking unusual policy trailers, I couldn't resist offering this one of mine - the world's only generic policy trailer for drive-ins.

The Regal Pepsi girl one is the worst one of all time! The gorilla one doesn't even come close to being that bad.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-08-2003 06:32 PM                        The WORST policy trailer EVER (I have seen hundreds of them): The Crown Theatres "lion" trailer. It is really poor animation and the 'theme' song is the tune from "Working my way back to you babe" except they substitute "Working my way back to you Crown". The lion dances around singing the song and throwing popcorn around dancing on top of the seats. (How bad is it?) A MINISTER from a church was leaving one afternoon from a show and I asked him how his 'movie going' experience was. He said that it was 'great', except that we really need to get rid of that DAMN annoying policy trailer!  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-08-2003 07:15 PM                     Loved the Gorilla. It reminds me a bit of the Reebok TERRY TATE, OFFICE LINEBACKER commercials, like the one on the Super Bowl. They have an excellent new one on their website that follows up on the Nike NAKED RUNNING GUY AT THE SOCCER GAME commercial. I think they are VERY funny. Terry Tate could make one terrific policy trailer! Terry Tate, Office LineBacker  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.
