Close Encounters of the Third Kind, when the power is cut off the camera focusses on a MCDonalds and Shell logo for a few seconds, for no reason at all, scary

Alright that's not that bad. Some of you guys are being a tad anal. There are movies that are RIDICULOUS with this crap. It's bad enough you can't watch a TV show on regular cable without a bombardment of commercials. Films are not even really films anymore if they're big budget... They're commercials.

Demolition Man.

All restaurants are Taco Bell. I hear it was redone for overseas - no Taco Bells.

That is true, here in Sweden they were Pizza Huts instead of Taco Bells.

[–] Mystery_Biscuit 18 years ago

In the UK, Demolition Man still used Taco Bell - but there are no Taco Bells here (Well I've never seen one).

As for product placement, you can't forget the 2 hour ipod commercial that was Blade Trinity.

I'm allowed to be a hypocrite. But no-one else is.

Instead of Pizza Huts they should've been record stores selling the latest Flower Kings album. Sweden rules.

manhunter - lets have scads of dialogue in a supermarket, so racks of "placed products" can be prominently displayed.

Andy Garcia's holding up of that can of Coke was nothing compared to Owen Wilson's character getting a can of Coke in "Behind Enemy Lines":

In "Behind Enemy Lines" Lt. Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson), after getting shot down behind enemy lines, is getting a lift from some foreign guys and is dying of thirst. He asks them for water, but is instead given a Coke... He holds the can up to the camera and beams, "It's good". [Roll eyes, go buy a Coke...] LOL
