trailer trash

RFV of this sense of the noun: "Deleted from the movie trailer. Not included in theatrical run." It's defined as an adjective, but I can't reformulate the definition until I can see some citations to get an idea of what it does mean and how it's used. - -sche (discuss) 02:36, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

The trailer is supposed to be the best of what is in the movie. What would be deleted from the trailer would not be especially bad, but would probably be in the movie. The most intelligible film-related usage in this sense that I found was the intro to a film review column [1]. DCDuring TALK 03:15, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

If it helps anyone searching for usage of the term: consider the possibility that it means "scenes that appear in the trailer but were, after the release of the trailer but before the release of the film, deleted from the film". - -sche (discuss) 03:25, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Interesting possibility, defying normal economic logic. DCDuring TALK 03:48, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I found some hits, but I don't think any support that meaning: [2], [3], [4]. In any case, I think this meaning would just be the sum of parts, not so? --BB12 (talk) 05:23, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

The trailer for America's Sweethearts had scenes that weren't in the movie; sometimes what works in clips doesn't work in context.--Prosfilaes (talk) 06:43, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
