These apparently aired on the then-nascent MTV in Summer '82. I can't think of other TV spots that utilized actors and incorporated new scenes as this one does. Can you? I do, of course, recall the many TV spots that interviewed moviegoers as they exited a film or waited on line for tickets.

pretty amazing.
definitely lazy marketing...detracting from narrative and mislabeling this theatrical experience as pure sensation/pure party.
it reminds me of trailers/ads i'm imagining for the early imax and 3d theatrical experiences...this may be more imagination than memory.
Filmways seemed to have made a habit of this kind of advertising, as with COMIN' AT YA:
