"Never-Before-Seen Theatrical trailer" Doesn't that mean it wasn't the theatrical trailer? Perhaps it should have been "Unused Theatrical Trailer"?

Yes, nevermind the tag "Unleash him", it really should be "Unleash the gurn" (or words to that effect).
Bad film, bad artwork.

It just seems oddly worded. Over-hyped and a bit patronising. I can guess the thinking - "Unseen" sounds "exciting", while "Unused" sounds a bit more negative. By definition a true Theatrical Trailer needs to have been used theatrically. This seems to me to be treating buyers just a little insultingly. But I'm being picky.
I agree that it was a pretty weak film which I suspect will disappoint many. Much of it is more a satire, in the vein of the broadcasts in Robocop, than the action film I sense it being portrayed as.
