My Cousin Vinny as a courtroom thriller trailer works incredibly well

My Cousin Vinny is a classic comedy. The titular character, Vincent Gambini, is a fledgling lawyer from Brooklyn who finds himself completely in over his head as he tries to prove his nephew’s innocence in a grisly murder case. The film’s comedy comes, in part, from subverting this bleak set-up. But it’s also what makes it so fun and satisfying to watch as a courtroom thriller trailer, as Mashable has re-envisioned it.
