Scott,

Need a good laugh, and the tagline for "The Day of the Dophin" provided that. Thanks. BEYOND FUNNY in a ludicrous way!

"Twelve is the new eleven" isn't bad. The rest? Pretty hilarious.

Who could pass up a chance to see Day of the DOlphin after that? That sounds like the best bad movie ever.
Netflix, here I come.

I'm with the others. I read that and immediately wanted to see DAY OF THE DOLPHIN. Expect Netflix requests for that one to shoot up.

And nothing beats the tagline for JAWS: THE REVENGE. "This time, it's personal." Out of context that might not sound dumb... until you remember we're talking about a shark!

Well Titans will clash, struck me as pretty dopey, but I'm with the others here on The Day of the Dolphin. Why have I never heard of this movie before?

I keep seeing Crank 2's tagline used as an example of bad taglining, but I honestly think it fits the movies perfectly.

I always thought the one for Suspiria was a great one.

Yeah, I don't know what everybody's problem is with the Crank 2 tagline. It's clearly a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference("I thought you said you were dead!" "I got better.") and even if you don't get the clever reference, it works because of what the Crank movies are.

They're movies that play with conventions/turn them on their head/make them retarded. I'm not saying they're great movies but they have a definite point of view and I think that the tagline they chose for the sequel falls in line with that. Especially since I'm sure everyone that saw the first one and heard that there's a sequel were probably like "But he died in the first one, how can they make a sequel?" The tagline of sloughing off that major issue is really funny and a really accurate way to get across the information that there are no rules in the franchise.

Again, nobody's going to deny that the Crank movies are fantastic cinema by any stretch but they created a crazy world that stretched into its marketing and I think that's got to count for something. Anybody who makes fun of their tagline clearly hasn't seen either of the movies, in my eyes.

One of the worst I've seen is the original tagline for Beowulf & Grendel:

"Heads will roll."
