"Geezer teaser" is a pejorative term used to describe a film—usually an action film released direct-to-video and distributed via video on demand (VOD)—for which older famous male actors ("geezers") who may be considered past their prime are billed in starring roles and prominently featured ("teased") in promotional material, only to then appear for a brief amount of time during the film itself. These actors help bring attention to films that are made on low budgets but become profitable through rentals and sales.
