The answer must be c, because I didn't see that scene either and neither did anyone who was with me. I find it rather low of film promoters to sport scenes in the previews which do not appear in the movies. Otherwise, I agree; a fairly good picture.

This phenomenon is rarely intentional. Frequently, the people who edit the trailers (usually not the same people who edit the film itself) must produce the trailer before the film itself is fully cut. Thus, they have no guarantee that a given scene they use will appear in the film itself. Most trailers seek to show highlights of the film, so usually they choose shots which won't be cut, but once in a while a bit which looked great in isolation just doesn't fit into the movie, so it gets axed. -- Peter Reiher reiher@LOCUS.UCLA.EDU {...ihnp4,ucbvax,sdcrdcf}!ucla-cs!reiher
