- sayntin, on 08/27/2008, -1/+23They forgot to mention Demolition Man and all the shameless references to Taco Bell, they even ate at a Taco Bell.
- stonebone4, on 08/27/2008, -0/+17Yeah but in the future Taco Bell has become a gourmet full-service restaurant full of dudes in tuxedos. It's pretty hilarious actually.
- inactive, on 08/27/2008, -0/+15I want to own the car that tried to kill Shia Labeouf.
- netgeek06, on 08/26/2008, -8/+22This is a duplicate check the one before http://digg.com/celebrity/The_10_Most_Shameless_Pr ... couple of minutes ahead of you
- freshyill, on 08/27/2008, -0/+14The Wizard had absolutely everything that made a movie awesome when I was 10. I watched it about a year ago, and holy *****, that movie is unwatchable.
If Mac and Me is worse than The Wizard, then I *really* need to see this movie. - foxingworth, on 08/27/2008, -1/+15Guess who just added "Mac And Me" to their netflix queue.
- PenguinShogun, on 08/27/2008, -4/+15How can you make this list and not mention Cast Away, the entire movie was an ad for Fed Ex.
- wsuBobby, on 08/26/2008, -3/+12Dugg for The Wizard. That was such a badass movie when I was a kid.
- HeDiggMe, on 08/27/2008, -1/+8In Minority Report 2, the news will be brought to you by digg
- KSUdesigner, on 08/27/2008, -0/+7Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle
- frostedflakes, on 08/27/2008, -0/+7Mac and Me tops them all for sure. It is awesomely bad.
- Proveit11, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6Anyone remember "Wilson" from Castaway?
- thoriphes, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6There's this scene in Blade 3 where it shows Jessica Biel's character loading songs on her ipod for a good 10 seconds or so. Surprised this didn't make it as it was pretty blatant.
- WiretapStudios, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6Because Fed-Ex didn't pay for the promotion. RTFA. I worked for Fed-Ex at the time and we all got to see it for free.
- sithlordoflanc, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6All restaurants are Taco Bell.
- slinky317, on 08/27/2008, -1/+6Yes, that whole character seemed like she was designed as an advertisement for the iPod. Anytime she fights Vampires she has to be listening to music, so she has those stupid little white earbuds in her ears in the action scenes. Retarded, unnecessary, and shameless.
- augment, on 08/27/2008, -0/+5Great article on one of my personal pet-peeves. BAD product placement.
I hated 'the Island' oh so much. - Slackdragon, on 08/27/2008, -0/+5My name's Voit, dumbass.
- JayceMJ, on 08/27/2008, -1/+6Spaceballs the T-shirt, Spaceballs the Coloring Book, Spaceballs the Lunchbox, Spaceballs the Breakfast Cereal. Spaceballs the Flame Thrower, and last (but not least) Spaceballs the Doll. Me! "May the Schwartz be with you!" Adorable.
- lejake, on 08/27/2008, -0/+5I remember really liking that movie as a kid, when McDonald's was like going to a steak joint. I had no idea it was all product placement...
- cvindustries, on 08/27/2008, -0/+4Except when it's a Pizza Hut. They switched between theater and home release (double-dipping product placement bastards) and depending on what country it was released in. (Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are both owned by Yum)
http://forums.sciflicks.com/showthread.php?t=1457 - Slackdragon, on 08/27/2008, -0/+4I know it was tongue-in-cheek deliberate, but Josie and the Pussycats had some MAJOR product placement goin' on.
- Rocco03, on 08/27/2008, -1/+5Everybody knows the most shameless product placement of all time was the "all I want is a Pepsi" from Back to the Future 2.
This message was brought to you by Doritos: Take snacking to a higher level ! - punkcat, on 08/27/2008, -0/+4Dude, don't, its not worth it. its a 90 minute McDonalds commercial.
i can guarantee you will at some point turn it off in disgust. - shadyrudy, on 08/27/2008, -0/+3Don't forget IronMan. Tony Stark orders Burger King as soon as he get back to the US.
- punkcat, on 08/27/2008, -0/+3replace your love with video games and Nintendo with fast food and McDonalds.
see if the movie formula still works for you. - emopinups, on 08/27/2008, -1/+4A Knights Tale, with the fantastic placement of the Nike logo engraved onto the Armour .......LMAO... products pay for the movies kids... just because you see it does not mean you must purchase it. How ever I did run out and grab new nikes... I suck
- xtothepowerofx, on 08/27/2008, -0/+3anyone else almost walk out of the theatre during the last james bond movie after about the tenth closeup of a hand dialing on a flashy new sony-ericsson device of some kind?... to be honest it's all i remember about the movie... it was just too blatant
- Zer01, on 08/27/2008, -0/+3Superman 2? I believe there was a Marlboro truck and a giant Coke sign. Even as a little kid, I thought "a cigarette truck? That's something you don't see in real life"
- sindex, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2After they the Restaurant Wars.
- pookguy88, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2yeah, i remember that. He's at that resort and they do a close up of the blu-ray backups of the security footage.... WTF
however, it was a good movie - HarryTruman, on 08/27/2008, -3/+5Moichendizing! Moichendizing!
- deadmoo, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2What about Taco Bell in Demolition Man? In the future, Taco Bell is the only restaurant.
- theaceoffire, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2Did it bother anyone else when (in Transformers, near the end) all those products became evil?
The Xbox 360 product placement seemed very obvious to me... - devophl, on 08/27/2008, -1/+3Another good example of obvious, in your face, corporate symbology is Total Recall.
- mohsenxp, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2I think I, Robot is has the most blatant product placement with the Converse vintage! I remember I found it a bit cringing to watch for the first time.
I know it's not a movie, but the Soprano's and Coca Cola is pretty obvious too. - slinky317, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2I remember I was bored one day and caught the movie "Torque" on HBO. Although I was probably like only the 4th person to see this movie ever as it was so bad, there was one scene in the end where two chicks were fighting, and one scene zoomed in on one of the chicks posing right in front of an ENORMOUS Mountain Dew sign that literally took up the entire background of the screen.
Also, the second Fantastic Four had that disgusting version of their flying car with the Dodge logo on it, with even one of the characters asking "Does it have a hemi in it?"
I don't mind product placement when it makes sense and it's subtle. Having 2004 Converse in I Robot was appalling, as well as the X-Box logo in the fight scene during The Island (which, in the future, shouldn't they be using X-Box 360s anyway?) - hurdboy, on 08/27/2008, -1/+3Whatever happened to Nuprin?
Yeah, I immediately thought of that when I saw this headline. At the same time, a better representation might be Idiocracy.....
"Welcome to Costco....I love you." - Vorow, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2And what about "Head and Shoulders" in Evolution? That's should've been #1.
- sindex, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2That movie is surprisingly funny.
- MateyO, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1Um, guys? MAybe I'm showing my age here, but the WHOLE MOVE 'The Gods Must be Crazy' was centered around a bottle of Coke.
- BigPapi, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1That movie had tons of product placements. Texaco, Pizza Hut, Nintendo, BMW, Nike...
- melat0nin, on 08/28/2008, -0/+1Casino Royale had some pretty hideous product placement... absolutely everything was Sony, and boy did we know about it
- kelmaster1, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1Producers do this all the time, there are thousands of movies like this.
- sindex, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1They did mention Cast Away. It's not highlighted, but it's certainly mentioned.
- Fubeman, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1I remember reading the movie review of E.T. in the local rag, The Richmond Times Dispatch in Richmond, Virginia. I hated the local movie reviewer as she was some old hag that hated anything futuristic or Sci-Fi and was someone that should have been fired years ago, but it seemed like no one at the paper had to guts to do so. Anyway, she writes this extensive review of the movie trying to add all these little details of the movie like she knows what she is talking about, but also trying to dismiss the movie at the same time because she really doesn't understand it (or any other Steven Spielberg movie for that matter). Then she begins to describe the Reese's Pieces part and calls them M&M's. Ha! One of the biggest placement ads of the time and she can't even get that right! So much for getting the "details" right. The following day, the paper received about 20 letters blasting her on her review and how she couldn't get the basic facts of the movie right.
- Sloi, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1The first thing I think about when someone says "product placement" is the f*cking Converse / "Vintage 2004" / Close-up scene in I, Robot: my goodness did that piss me off. My eyes rolled so far back into my head that I could see my Frontal Lobes.
