Shark Air

The “Final Hook” of a movie trailer is the final quick attempt at winning an audience’s interest. It’s the money shot of the trailer.

The main meat of the trailer will play out – providing a gist of the plot and an introduction to the key players, also a taste of the film’s best scenes will be shown (depending on the genre, so funny jokes if it’s a comedy, exciting set pieces if it’s an action film) then the credits and release date will appear – then one last quick scene (the Final Hook) before the trailer ends.

In the trailer for The Hangover, the final hook is the introduction of Mike Tyson as a special guest. For Spiderman 3 it was a shot of the character Venom. But the most amusing Final Hook I have seen recently is the one for Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, a film gaining internet notoriety for it’s ridiculous premise, and also starring Lorenzo Lamas and Debbie Gibson(!).

The trailer is here:



I have decided to present the Final Hook in picture form, so we can bathe in it’s awesome beauty:
