* TheStinger in the trailer for ''Film/CabinInTheWoods'' shows the elevator into the Facility, which is supposed to be the third act twist. For context, even the back cover of the DVD release only describes the plot as "bad things happening".

* ''Film/DoubleJeopardy'' was infamous for its trailer, revealing that: Ashley Judd goes to jail for the murder of her husband, she finds out her husband is alive and framed her, a fellow inmate informs her that she cannot be convicted for the same crime twice, and that she escapes custody, and then menacingly points a gun at her husband while Tommy Lee Jones (who was investigating Judd) sits back and watches. What's even worse is that the show all of this in ''chronological'' order.

* The Moonbeam Entertainment family film ''Film/{{Dragonworld}}'' has one of the most egregious examples of this trope of all time, in that it quite literally explains the entire movie in sequential order while spoiling every single plot point and beat along the way, right up to the climax.

* The trailer for ''Film/{{Multiplicity}}'' gave away that the movie has four Creator/{{Michael Keaton}}s, a development that does not happen until about 80 minutes into the 120 minute movie. Though it's not so much that there ''is'' four of them, since the whole premise is basically ''CloningBlues: TheMovie'', but that Keaton #4 is a copy of a copy, and is developmentally disabled as a result.

* The first half of ''Film/PoliteSociety'' makes it ambiguous whether or not Ria is ProperlyParanoid about the Shahs or if she's just overreacting to the idea of her beloved sister leaving; it's not revealed until later that they're actually evil. Pretty much all the promotional material for the film seems dedicated to spoiling the twist, showing off several of Raheela's more overtly villainous moments as well as fight scenes from the movie's climax.

** The trailer prominently shows Wanda giving an anguished SkywardScream. As you watch the movie, she has a very calm and calculated personality, and it becomes clear that the only thing that could possibly force ''that'' level of emotion out of her would be the death of her beloved twin brother. Which is exactly what happens.
