I'd read about them, but hadn't seen any yet. The R-Rated trailer or as the industry calls them "red band trailers" don't cut anything out for a general audience. In the past, you'd wait to see some horrific horror film with blood, guts and decapitated heads, but the trailers that they'd play before the movies would have menacing shadows during the killings and never any blood.
By the same token you'd never see nudity or hear curse words in a trailer because it might offend the audience that is there to see an R-Rated movie--How Stupid.
But in order to increase the hype and excitement for an upcoming release, the movie studios have taken off the gloves and decided to release red band trailers to give the audience a real idea of what the movie is about. To see one for the first time is exciting. Kind of like the first time you saw an uncut R-rated movie on cable TV. In the back of your mind you're saying, "Wow, I can't believe they are doing that on TV." Well that was my same reaction yesterday when I heard a character say the F-word in a trailer for the upcoming comedy, "Pineapple Express." "Wow, I can't believe they are using a word like that in a trailer." Then they show a man's brains gets blasted and a stoner putting his thumb through his fly to simulate a penis.
A couple more of these and I will not notice it anymore.
