Swearing in Trailers... a question...
 

can anyone think of an "approved for general audiences" trailer where the first part of a swear/curse word was said? like "oh sh.." <cut to explosion> that sort of thing? i'm not talking about restricted trailers.

Plenty
Charlies angels "and thats kicking your"

The end of the <b>Ghostbusters</b> trailer has "We came, we saw, we kicked its--"

The theatrical trailer for Not Another Teen Movie showed boobs.

that was a red card / restricted trailer

the other two are good, but i need an example that "telegraphs" or suggests a stronger word than "@ss"... like "sh*t", or f***".

Not a trailer but that Fox DVD thing, where a cut from Die Hard with Bruce Willis in it. "Yippie Kay Yay, mother [cut]"

s--t is slowly becoming an acceptable word. first south park, then fx, now im hearing it on the radio during the day.

I think in the I Spy trailer Eddie Murphy says something like "Oh s*cut* when he walks in the laser room.

this goes way back, but Smokey and the bandit. "I'm gonna barbaque your...."

That one always stuck in my head.

Celtic Pride used this device:

DAMON WAYANS: I'm gonna kick your -
NARRATOR:... But, they got more than they bargained for!

SEE? They said "BUT", which... oh, who cares, it was a terrible film.

s*cut* ??? what word is that supposed to be?

The international trailer for Notting Hill has the "f" word. Thought that was quite funny actually.

I realize this is slightly off topic, but for the record the "red card" trailer for Center of the World had a women saying f*** me in the p**** or something like that. Saw it before Requiem for a Dream and it raised my eyebrows :)
