It wasn't this trailer, though. In fact it was one of the strangest trailers I've ever seen. The first 80% of it was comprised of clips of Cruise from the many movies spanning his career, even going back to the days of Taps and All the Right Moves. Just a long stream of them. Then, after the career retrospective was done, they showed a few quick flashes from this movie, namely the scenes where he walks into the lecture hall and where he's pacing back-and-forth yelling "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

At the time I thought it was a damn peculiar way to market a film, but after seeing this, it makes a bit more sense why they took that route. They have a film on their hands that they think the average 'Murican is going to find much too weird, so, hype up the star.
