Wasn't there a Bourne movie trailer that contained a scene or quotation that never occurred in the movies?

Just last night I watched the Tangled trailer with my daughter. A large portion of the trailer never happens in the movie:

My guess is that it was going to be part of the movie but ended up getting cut for editing reasons. (The whole "hair as weapon" bit is probably inconsistent with character for the rest of the movie)

I'm not familiar with Tangled, but by the time Disney got to Frozen, there was a trailer with Olaf & Sven that is basically a stand-alone scene not in the movie at all (intentionally). It's impressionistic more than trying to represent the film literally.

I am okay with that as a teaser, as long as it is billed as a short or it is made to be characters doing something.

Doing scenes within a movie and making it feel 100% as a trailer and then cutting it out is different.

Probably. Just like there are movies where their funniest line is only in the trailer.
