*POSSIBLE SPOILERS*




We all know this scence...

from imdb
Orpheus: [To Cindy] I believe this night, we will find...
La'Quesha: What are you still doing here?
Orpheus: Please La'Quesha, I'm prophesizing.
La'Quesha: Oh, I'm prophesizing my foot half way up your ass!


When I left the theaters after seeing "Scary Movie 3" opening weekend. I wondered, where was that Matrix scence I saw in the trailer? That's a real shitty thing to do the movie going audiences out there. :mad: The word of mouth spreads VERY quickly but the performance of the movie box office-wise has not hurt the film overall. What my major beef with this rant, I keep seeing the I'm Prohesizing Scence used in the TV trailer spots.
Unless that scence was added back in, I feel robbed. Majorly robbed. That's what made me go to see the movie. I dunno if that scence did not work thru test audiences or who knows why it got cut.

I just can't wait to hear David Zucker the director his good explanation on the DVD commentary why that scence was taken out.

I completely agree with you. I expected more of Queen Latifah and Eddie Griffin because of those ads. But if you notice, in the ads Latifah's character is named LaQuesha while in the movie her name is Shaniqua.

This happens a lot - classic case of the trailer people not seeing the final print of a film...

I remember with Freddy Got Fingered practically nothing on the trailer was included in the film.

The first "Scary Movie" was guilty of this. In the preview was a scene with Marlon Wayan's going "These are the rules to survive a horror movie..." (obviously spoofing "Scream"'s "These are the horror movie cliches..." scene). I was disappointed that it wasn't there. I was also disappointed with no "I'm prophesizing" scene in "Scary Movie 3," but I still found it a laugh riot. Still, having seen the movie, I seriously question how they could even put a scene like that that can go with the story. I don't how.

Still, while a movie is still being produced months before its set to come out, the fillmmakers will sometimes put the trailer together quickly with assorted scenes already filmed, so the film get can be advertised a good, couple of months before being released. Sometimes, one of the scenes cut later may be a scene from the trailer made before. That has been common to happen, and I suspect that theory to be the culprit of rant.

Word to the wise: If you haven't see the movie yet, and are turned off/more turned off because of this rant...still see the movie. It is a hilariously funny movie, and it more than makes up for the sorry excuse "Scary Movie 2." That's why "3" has already made more than a bundle of money arleady ($93 million!).

It's still annoying having sceens in the trailer that aren't in the final cut.

The worst example was in Matilda when the brother throws a carrot at her, and she uses magic and it turns around and flies into his mouth instead - in the trailer she says "Nah, keep it" or something equally witty, but she didn't say anything in the movie. Man, what a con, I'm still pissed off eight years later, that ruled.

I'm glad they reshot the SM3 scene into what it is now instead of the "I'm prophesizing" scene. It was the least funniest scene I remember from the trailer, and liked how they reversed the roles. The fact that they still use the other scene to advertise is weird, since they also run the current scene in ads, contradicting each other
