13 Movie Tag-Lines That Blatantly Lied To You

9. Superman IV: Quest For Peace

Revenge Of The Sith Tagline
Warner Bros.

Tag-line: "Nuclear Power. In the best hands, it is dangerous. In the hands of Lex Luthor, it is pure evil. This is Superman's greatest battle. And it is for all of us."

It's hard to shake the feeling that they may have spent more time on the tag-line than on the actual screenplay. It's clunky, although, for the most part, it is true to the movie. All but one single word. "Greatest".

The tag-line here essentially outlines the entire plot of the movie, which, while a little annoying, is at least honest. It just lets itself down towards the end with that one word.

Superman IV: Quest for Peace is most certainly not Superman's greatest battle. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Then try to call it the "greatest" without gagging or breaking into hysterical laughter.
