Often times teaser trailers are the first glimpses of a film fans get, and in the years before YouTube instantly had these trailers, people still had to go to the theaters to see them. The Movie Pool highlights the best teasers of that far away time...the 90s.
I remember when I first saw the trailer to Terminator 2 I went nuts! Of course I was a kid and loved robots but when I saw the liquid metal FX my jaw hit the floor.
I guess I'm just a fanboy but nothing beats the Episode 1 trailer. Though all of them are incredibly fun to watch. It's amazing how far things have come in the industry even for trailers.
Now this was a sweet article. Terminator 2 and Fight Club got my adrenaline pumping. The 90's was my teenage decade and there was no better time to be a teenager. The movies released were fearless and often genre-breaking. Both acting and special effects were at the height of their game and each of the films listed really grabbed your full focus when you saw them. Some trailers were better than the films (Godzilla, Phantom Menace) but some left much to the imagination and the film turned around blew that away (Fight Club, T2).
My personal fave, no doubts. Really good article
