"Never-Before-Seen Theatrical trailer" Doesn't that mean it wasn't the theatrical trailer? Perhaps it should have been "Unused Theatrical Trailer"?

"Never-Before-Seen Theatrical trailer" implies it was an unused one. Either way though, the film was pretty poor, worth a rent maybe, definately not a purchase.

Yes, nevermind the tag "Unleash him", it really should be "Unleash the gurn" (or words to that effect).

Bad film, bad artwork.

It just seems oddly worded. Over-hyped and a bit patronising. I can guess the thinking - "Unseen" sounds "exciting", while "Unused" sounds a bit more negative. By definition a true Theatrical Trailer needs to have been used theatrically. This seems to me to be treating buyers just a little insultingly. But I'm being picky.

I agree that it was a pretty weak film which I suspect will disappoint many. Much of it is more a satire, in the vein of the broadcasts in Robocop, than the action film I sense it being portrayed as.
