* In ''Abbott and Costello Go to Mars'', Creator/AbbottAndCostello go ... to Venus. They were ''supposed'' to go to Mars, however.
* ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein'' is a borderline case. Frankenstein being [[FrankensteinsMonster the monster]] gets a pass. But the duo also meets Dracula and The Wolfman, making the title very reductive.
* In ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetTheKillerBorisKarloff'', you'll never expect the big reveal that the mysterious killer is [[spoiler:''not'' Creator/BorisKarloff's character]]!

* ''Film/TheEvilOfFrankenstein'' is actually the Hammer Frankenstein film that depicts Baron Frankenstien (as usual played by Creator/PeterCushing) as somewhat sympathetic. He's more of a WellIntentionedExtremist in an unsupportive world that just thinks that all [[ScienceIsBad Science is the work of the Devil]]. The truly evil character is Zoltan, the hypnotist who tries to use the monster for his own murderous purposes.

* ''Film/FantasticBeastsTheCrimesOfGrindelwald'': The subtitle, "The Crimes of Grindelwald", gives the audience the impression the film's focus will be on Grindelwald's ReignOfTerror. In truth, the main focus of the film is Credence and the various factions hunting him down for their own reasons - the wizarding governments of the world consider him too dangerous to live and all the Aurors in the world are looking him with orders to kill on sight, Dumbledore, Newt, and Tina believe he can be redeemed and want to save him, while Grindelwald wants him as a LivingWeapon for his cause. [[spoiler:In the end, Grindelwald is the winner.]]



* ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreetPart2FreddysRevenge'': Freddy returns, but he isn't getting revenge on anyone. Nancy, the only survivor of the original film is not in this one, [[spoiler:and she didn't even beat him then, prompting no actual revenge.]] There is also no hint that the kids' parents in this film were responsible for killing Freddy; Jesse's parents in particular only recently moved into the neighborhood.

** The [[MembershipToken Nine Pieces of Eight]] from ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]'' are not coins, but random pieces of junk. This is both [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] and [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in-universe: they used random piece of junk because the founding pirates were flat broke, and called them "Pieces of Eight" because they thought it sounded more pirate-y than "Pieces of Whatever We Happened to Have in our Pockets At The Time."
