    In episode two of The Walking Dead, out in the woods you encounter an abandoned station wagon full of supplies that you can choose to steal and not give back. As a result of that choice, Clementine ends up wearing a hoodie inspired by the poster for the 2003 movie "Kangaroo Jack."

    Kangaroo Jack. Picture this: You've been suckered in to watching a movie where they promised a talking, rapping kangaroo only to find out that it was only a hallucination and the kangaroo didn't really talk. And it had a forgettable plot... 13 year old me was furious! Lol

    Oh man I've been waiting for this question for YEARS. The answer is Kangaroo Jack. This was the poster for Kangaroo Jack. The trailer for Kangaroo Jack made it seem like it was a funny adventure comedy about a kangaroo. Then you watch the movie - the kangaroo gets less than 90 seconds of screen time

    (At therapy) I think the trust issues stem from when I was a child - there was an ad campaign for the movie Kangaroo Jack, and it lead me to believe the movie was about a rapping kangaroo. But it was a terrible act of deceit; that was not what the movie was about at all. So that’s why I can’t love

    Funny story; Kangaroo Jack originally wasn’t a kids movie. It was an r-rated crime movie that did so badly with test audiences, that the director went to the producers and said “gimme a couple extra bucks and I can make this movie about the kangaroo.” I am not joking, lmao

    Nobody in Hollywood has the stones to do full Kangaroo Jack -style false advertising anymore. If the Minecraft Movie came out in 2003, it would've been a regular live-action comedy about a father and son learning to bond in the suburbs. The scenes used in the trailer would be a 1min dream sequence.

    Kangaroo Jack would be my answer. I was 8 when that came out and all of the marketing painted the movie out to be about a whacky kangaroo who raps. When the movie came out that damn kangaroo only rapped once in a DREAM scene. Simultaneously learned that movies can be bad and they can lie to you
