Doesn't matter what the trailer says. The movie "Fargo" claimed to be
based on true events also but it wasn't. The producers put that bit in
there as a joke. |

The odd part here was that he was watching it in a hotel, and missed
the start. He only saw that after the movie (with its final credits
and ending disclaimer) ended, and re-started from the start. Then he
had to tell his story on his radio show. >> Stay informed about: Does anyone know where Hostel actually existed? |

"Pearl Harbor" is supposedly based on a true event; the producers were really
having a joke there...
