.... That no one ever saw. Literally 30 yrs in the making.
Probably saw this trailer 125 times, and never heard saw one second of it outside of this extremely memorable trailer:
LINK
One reason no one ever saw it? They changed the name of the damn movie to "Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even."
Cast is actually quite stacked:
David Srathairn, Ben Savage, and the Cleveland Indians owner from Major League.
Actually a kind of deep dysfunctional family dramedy.

I remember this, too.
Weird they changed the name after releasing the trailer on a wide scale.

lol i totally remember that trailer
man it almost never failed that any movie in the late 80's to late 90's had divorce as such a central theme.

I remember the trailer for “Urban Commando” either on TMNT or Secret of the Ooze.

The movie was free to rent in Prime. Couldn't believe I even found it.
It actually turns into a "Great Outdoors" semi-ripoff after the first act. Wasn't expecting that at all. Most of what you see in the trailer is all in the first 15 min of the movie.

Yes, it was super weird they changed the title. I always remembered it being “stepkids”. The trailer was great, never saw the film.

Don't think anybody did, yet everyone saw the trailer. Even if it ever did come on cable later, no one probably knew what the hell the movie was because of the title change.
Suburban Commando, however, I did watch numerous times.
I was frozen today!

Does it have that iconic Pizza Hut commercial?

I wanted to see it because of that trailer on the vhs, but could never find it. A couple of years later I found it under the different name. I was so confused.
Wasn’t the Pizza Hut right field commercial on that vhs too? Sadly, I can still sing the song.

Does anyone remember when Burger King released 4 VHS tapes of the original TMNT animated series? Each tape had an episode from the series and the boxes were different colors

Pizza Hut commercial is on original TMNT (1990) film VHS, not Secret of the Ooze.
I remember that commercial from The Land Before Time VHS. I must have forgotten that it was on the TMNT VHS.

Years ago I saw it on TV when I was flipping channels and had wondered why it looked so familiar. Mind was definitely blown.

The main actress was also in the first two Home Alone movies and quit acting after Home Alone 2 to pursue a career in martial arts. She was an Olympian on Team USA, competing in judo, in both 1996 and 2000.

God, I loved watching that commercial just now. Was that Goldberg as the catcher??? I never knew that. Back when you would actually go to Pizza Hut with your baseball team. Life wasn't so bad in the 80s/90s.

The older I get, the more I can relate to Christopher Lloyd's character.

This is my dad. He's 40, looks like he's 30, thinks like he's 20, and acts like he's 10.
I bet I could still recite it from memory.
