There is an MPAA restriction on "green band" trailers.
This article at /Film shows the shot from two different trailers, the first of which has the bloody hands, and the second, which does not.
Green band trailers are those that have been approved for all, and now, appropriate audiences. R and higher rated movies also have red band trailers, which can only be shown at R and higher rated events.
I suspect that with the advent of the Internet, you will be finding more trailers that don't adhere as strictly to the green/red band hierarchy.

You guys might find this interesting: Scary Mary Poppins. This guy made a trailer for Mary Poppins that makes it appear to be a horror film about a witch terrorizing small children by taking certain scenes from the movie and putting them to creepy music. It's not only funny, but it really drives home the point about how trailers can completely misrepresent a movie.

Saw the trailer for the last Harry Potter movie. Big spoiler in it. Wtf were they thinking?Violence has resolved more conflicts than anything else. The contrary opinion that violence doesn't solve anything is merely wishful thinking at its worst. - Starship Troopers

How about movies trailers that tell you nothing about the plot or character and just show crappy special effects. Example, the numerous TV spots for Thor showed slow mo CGI fight scenes with blaring orchestra as "backround music". It wouldn't bug me so much except I've seen this same trailer for so many other movies that I can't tell one CGI Sci Fi flick from the others.

I hate the ones that make lame scenes seem cooler.
Liar Liar - I thought it was a funny joke when he gets on the elevator, and the girl says "everyone's been so nice and I don't know why" and he says "well that's because you have really big -" CUT to slapping noise. That was a funny joke to me. It was less funny in the actual movie when he's rambling on and on for fifteen minutes about it.

Not a movie trailer, but ANY trailer for a show on USA network falls into this. Not only do they make you sick of their shows before they even air, but they make them all look the same. As if every show is a lighthearted dramedy about some quirky detective. Well, that may have been the truth for Monk and Psych (god do I miss Monk), but not all their shows are like that. I tried to get into "In Plain Sight" but it was too melodramatic, contrary to what the lighthearted previews will have you believe.
I actually like a lot of what's on USA, but I the advertisements make me want to shoot my TV.
