Added Never Trust A Trailer & Re-cut

Added DiffLines:

* NeverTrustATrailer: The international marketing implies a lot more titillating content than actually appears; The American posters show the group on a beach next to implied nude women, the French DVD cover has the group staring at a woman wearing a Union Jack bikini and in Germany it was literally re-named 'Sex on the Beach'. The movie (like the series) is much more focussed on gross-out and cringe humour, with the groups attempts at pulling rarely being successful; The only moment of female nudity is darkly lit and features an extremely awkward Will. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking There are also barely any scenes set on the beach]]. Conversely, The UK's poster was simply the group standing outside a night club looking excited.


Added DiffLines:

* ReCut: There are three different cuts of the movie: the 15-rated theatrical cut, an 18-rated version with a couple of dirtier jokes re-instated (and the C word left uncensored), and an extended cut with four minutes of extra material. The DVD contains the theatrical version, while the blu-ray has the 18-rated and extended cuts.
