Undeniably for me it's the opening the 1989 Batman VHS, with the incredible Diet Coke promo and the amazingly effective Daffy and Bugs Bunny WB merchandise promo.

That's neck ties!



And of course, perhaps the most indelible of them all:


"1492: Conquest of Paradise"

Not a trailer but I will always remember those Disney World commercials from the 90s on every Disney VHS

My Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles VHS started with a Pizza Hut ad LINK that used the Peter, Paul and Mary song "Right Field"

Random trivia for that ad, Goldberg from The Mighty Ducks plays the catcher.

Didn't Ninja Turtles also have previews for Subruban Commando and that movie where the guy has like 9 kids?


Edit: Wait... That was on the Secret of the Ooze tape..not the original and the preview was for StepKids, which I never saw one minute of.

I remember that right field song like it was yesterday.

I was 6/7 when Batman and Ninja Turtles came out and still have both of those VHSs somewhere. I went right back to that age watching those YouTube trailers

I remember on the last of the Mohicans vhs taps there was an ad/trailer that “celebrated” movies in general so it had a bunch of iconic lines and scenes from movies with people’s reactions to them. It was cool, and I’ve never been able to find that again.
