So I watched a movie which is rated PG, and is very harmless... then looking through the trailers on the disk, there were a couple tame ones, but then, low and behold, full frontal porn in some of the trailers!? I'm like, "WHOA Nellie!!"
It really pisses me off that this crap is being pulled by some distributor, no doubt hoping to hook some kid on this stuff while his parents aren't home.
So I'm wondering, how can I get the word out about this particular title? I put up a review at Blockbuster.com. And tried to warn management. SHould I microwave the disk before sending it back?

So you are saying that the distributor was putting R or worse stuff in a trailor for a movie that didn't actually have the stuff in it?
Or it is a trailor for another movie that was packaged with this particular movie? Did the trailer have the appropriate rating? (Probably not...)
Absolutely despicabe, either way.
But, hey, can't tell them to cut it out, cuz it is infringing on "free speech" and it was only "brief and fleeting" and was not authorized by the corporate sponser... just like Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction"...

Well, I'm kind of embarrassed to admit the title of the movie. It's called, "Kraaa! The Sea Monster", and it looked like a harmless really cheesy B-movie made by some group of kids after the stylings of the old Godzilla movies.
Unfortunately the distributor of this movie apparently distributes such classical treats as "The Erotic House of Wax", but the trailers on the DVD aren't labeled or even rated. They're just on there with little icons. Anyhow Imagine my surprise. I'm just glad I screened the disk. I went through the whole movie first, and thought, "Okay so it's mindless and horribly actied, but otherwise harmless..." Then I checked out the extras...
I had to spend the next hour on the piano plunking out primary songs... (I'm pretty good at playing "Follow the Prophet" and "Little Purple Pansies" now...)

We rented Clash of the Titans, my wife and I remembered it as a tame, fun movie. Holy boob shots Batman! We didn't remember any nudity in the film and it was not in the description on Netflix. Not once, but twice and butts to too! Our 8 and 12 year old boys got a bit more education that night.

It sounds like you might have overlapping movie taste with MrHic, Ray. Of course, he's not embarrassed to admit to his fondness for cheesy sci-fi B-movies.

Val... hubby and I had the same problem with a couple TV shows we watched in the 80s... After we moved here and got rid of the signal into our home (about 14 yrs ago) our ability to ignore trash was a lot more limited, shall we say??? WOW~! Now what others watch all the time and see as tame is a down right eye popper for us... I am thinking to myself as I turned off a TV show someone lent us just last week... "you WATCH this thing EVERY week????" :
