Added DiffLines:
* ''Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch'' ditches Michael Myers and instead has a story about evil masks that possess little children. The original plan was for a GenreAnthology film involving several unrelated stories, with the first just being longer. The movie tanked, and they haven't made another non-Michael version since.
** It's also the last ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' film that Creator/JohnCarpenter, who was not open to the idea of milking sequels, was associated with.
* ''Film/HomeAlone3'' takes place after Christmas, contrary to the other five Home Alone films taking place before.
* ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'' was this for Creator/JamesCameron. He typically directs sci-fi films with a lot of action such as ''Film/TheTerminator'', ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' and ''{{Film/Avatar}}'' so a tragic historical romance was a bit of an odd one out for him.
* ''Film/RuthlessPeople'' is a departure from the usual fare from filmmaking team Creator/ZuckerAbrahamsAndZucker, as it's their only film that isn't a spoof, but a more traditional farce.
* ''Film/{{Scream}}'':
** ''Film/Scream3'' is the only film in the series in which there is only one Ghostface, as opposed to there being [[TwoDunIt two]].
** ''Film/ScreamVI'' also dispenses with the usual formula of there being two Ghostfaces. There are ''five'' -- three official, and [[JackTheRipoff a pair of wannabes]].
* The original ''Film/{{Alien}}'' might count as this for Creator/RidleyScott. His forte is either historical epics (''Film/{{Gladiator}}'', ''Film/KingdomOfHeaven'') or films with overt feminist themes (''Film/ThelmaAndLouise'', ''Film/GIJane''), so a horror film in space stands out, though the original ''Alien'' still has feminist undertones as seen with Sigourney Weaver's character.
* Creator/MartinScorsese has made something of a career out of this. Best known for crime thrillers (''Film/GoodFellas'', ''Film/TaxiDriver'', ''Film/CapeFear'', ''Film/TheDeparted'') or historical dramas (''Film/TheAgeOfInnocence'', ''Film/GangsOfNewYork'', ''Film/ShutterIsland''), he also directed ''The Last Waltz'' ({{Rockumentary}} chronicling The Band's last concert), ''Film/TheLastTemptationOfChrist'' (controversial re-telling of the Crucifixion), ''Film/TheAviator'' ({{Biopic}} about Howard Hughes) and ''Film/{{Hugo}}'' (all-ages period adventure). He also directed the video for Music/MichaelJackson's "Bad". Most recently he has gone with BlackComedy ''Film/TheWolfOfWallStreet'' (about the notorious wall street scammer).
* The 1968 film ''The Party'' starred Creator/PeterSellers.
** And it was directed by Creator/BlakeEdwards.
** And it had music by Music/HenryMancini.
** And it was released by The Mirisch Corporation.
*** They all worked on [[Franchise/ThePinkPanther a certain film series]] together.
* Part of why the Film/JamesBond film ''Film/LicenceToKill'' was poorly received in its original release (at least in the US) was how extremely atypical it was compared with previous Bond films. This time, Bond was not on a mission with [=MI6=], fighting for king and country, he was on his own, fighting for himself and his friends in a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* This is explicitly stated to be the reason why Marvel made the ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}'' movie for the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. Each of the previous movies depict the origins of the Avengers, with top of the line Marvel characters such as Captain America and Thor, culminating in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' movie. ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' is pretty much a gathering of C-list and D-list Marvel characters that nobody would have expected to be featured in a film.
* The 2014 Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg movie ''Film/BestNightEver'' is almost a total departure from their normal film style. For one while it is a comedy it ''isn't'' a spoof: while it is clearly influenced in style by ''Film/TheHangover'' being set around a wild weekend in Vegas to celebrate an upcoming wedding it tells its own story with original characters. It also ''much'' more realistic, low key and character driven (!) than any previous Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg film with little to no pop culture reference and no cartoony humour. About the only traditional Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg touch is a lot of gross out humour and nudity.
* When the four Burton/Schumacher ''Batman'' films are taken into consideration, ''Film/BatmanReturns'' departs from the other three in a number of important ways. Bruce Wayne gets practically no CharacterDevelopment, there is no DisposableLoveInterest, hardly any character is likable or even relatable, and [[BittersweetEnding the ending is bittersweet at best]].
* ''Film/AWomanOfParis'' was considered to be a radical break from Creator/CharlieChaplin's usual movies. It didn't feature him as a star and was an actual drama film with a few comedic moments in it. The audience didn't like it and as a result Chaplin was forced to go feature himself again in his future movies. ''Film/MonsieurVerdoux'' was another break with tradition: a BlackComedy about a serial killer who murders women where he didn't play his familiar tramp character. Once again the audience didn't like it that much and it would only become a CultClassic later.
