Trailers/Previews with the last shot of the movie in them

I don't think this thread contains any spoilers, and people will have difficulty guessing with all of the shots featured in a preview.
I seem to notice a trend in trailers to not only show a lot of the plot, but sometimes feature the very last shot of the film! Here are some that spring to mind:

Spider-Man
Cast Away
Van Helsing
Batman Forever

Snatch. Not only the last shot- the last punchline.

Not quite the same thing, but the first scene in the trailer of The Sixth Sense features a huge chunk of the second-to-last scene of the movie.

I haven't seen the original, but I've heard that the Stepford Wives remake contains the ending of the film in it.

Ying Xiong (Hero) not only has the ending in the trailer, the whole damn trailer ruins the film's plot twist.

Stupid Miramax .....

You do realize, for those that haven't seen Hero - they have no clue what the "spoiler" is and likely won't remember it when the movie is shown, as far as I'm concerned the trailer played out as just an assortment of random images. It's only after you actually see the movie that the spoilers actually hold anything.

It isn't Arlington Road where the entire movie with exception of the last 3 seconds is shown.

Mission Impossible

The big climax--the exploding helicopter in the tunnel that propels Cruise forward--was in all the trailers and TV spots.

It made watching the movie for the first time very anti-climactic.

Spartan. not exactly the last scene, and I did enjoy the movie, but not as much if I hadn't seen that blasted trailor. Even though I love seeing trailors, I might start trying to not watch any/many as I've also noticed they've starting showing too much of the plot/ending in these. Kinda kills suspense movies like Spartan, huh?
