Worst product placement in a movie.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

Poll question: Worst product placement in a movie.

Should be self-explanatory.

1. Demolition Man. Taco Bell. nt.

[fishwax]

17. all restaurants are taco bell now

man, I'd forgotten all about that. :rofl: :puke:

[jobycom]

23. Not sure the difference between "best" and "worst," but that was my choice

for most memorable.

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. Leonard, Part 6.

Or for fun, Idiocracy.

[Deep13]

3. Didn't see it, but I have heard it is one big Cokacola commercial. nt

[Fire Walk With Me]

4. Don't see it. It is a howling abomination, without anything approaching Ed Wood type unintentional

valuation. Search youtube for it and worst dialogue, IIRC. There is a clip up of the worst lines from the film, and they are scathingly bad. There was one amusing bit involving frogs, but the scene in which he ballet dances to defeat mutant ostrich...

'n Jello Pudding Pops, 'n Kodak film, 'n Coca-Cola...

[Danger Mouse]

19. Butt Fucker's!!

or, my favorite...
"Carl's Jr. Fuck you, I'm eating."

[deucemagnet]

22. delete

I was a bit late on that one. :(

[Initech]

5. You've Got Mail was nothing more than an AOL commercial.

[derby378]

6. Oh, leave Harold and Kumar alone!

Replace their poll choice with Leonard: Part 6 if you please.

[Initech]

13. Yeah really. Need I point out the opening scene of the sequel?

[mitchum]

7. All of that Schindler merchandise in "Schlindler's List"

give it a rest, Oskar

[Monk06]

16. So you are questioning the quality of Deutsche Emailwaren Fabrik enamelware?

[redqueen]

8. Other: it's all equally shite.

[unpossibles]

9. all of the above?

I prefer the style of Repo Man where the beer cans just say "BEER" on them, or barring that, a fake label.

Fuck product placement. I almost always notice it, and it almost always pisses me off.

10. I just saw I Am Legend last night,

and I couldn't help noticing all of the gleaming Viking appliances in Will Smith's kitchen.

[MrScorpio]

12. Near the start there's a product placement for "Batman vs. Superman"

The movie hasn't even been greenlighted

[Broken_Hero]

29. Ha, and I thought I was the only one who noticed that...good eye, nt

[harmonicon]

11. I almost went for the Wizard...

however, when that came out and I was a kid, the draw was that it was about Nintendo. We loved Nintendo, so the movie was related to our lives. I do not love FedEx. In fact, I hate FedEx. They are the worst.

[NV Whino]

14. There's always The Coca Cola Kid

with (yum!) a young Eric Roberts.

[jeff30997]

15. I voted for Castaway but...

Back to the Future II had so many products advertised that I bet it paid for at least 1/2

the special effects budget.I love the movie BTW.:)

[Danger Mouse]

18. The Wizard? How about BEST product placement in a movie??

It actually made people want to use the awful Power Glove. :D

[Solon]

20. "I love the power glove, its so bad."

:D

21. I thought Harold & Kumar was product placement for weed

worked on me
:smoke:

Wanna see a bizarre placement, the original Superman movie. Martha Kent gets Cherrios for Clark in a very obvious ad placement manner. They even put a spot on it in a dark set.

[jobycom]

24. I'm more weirded out by non-product placement.

When they make a movie about current times, for instance, and someone drinks a soda from a generic can with no logo. Bothers me more than product placement. It's as though they are saying "If we don't get cash to represent society accurately, we will pretend we don't know what people drink."

[DarkTirade]

25. I, Robot.

Not only was it a blatantly stupid obvious product placement, but it made ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE in any way, shape or form. Totally ripped you right out of the movie.

[Tabasco_Dave]

26. Forrest Gump

Dr Pepper, Nike, and Apple Computers. I don't know why that piece of shit won an oscar. :hurts:

[1]

27. i saw a "coke" can in a movie once about some guy who did something...

seriously.

you "product placement" nazis need to get over yourself and get a life.

people in real life eat "cheerios." they drink "diet pepsi." if it shows up on the silver screen or on tv so what? you are only happy when a can has the word "beer" on it?


are your tin hats really screwed on that tight?


madon...

[MnFats]

28. In "Clerks," Kevin SMith has all the convenience store patrons ask

only for "a pack of smokes."
he didn't want to appear to be endorsing cigs, in however a small way...

[MrSlayer]

30. M&M's actually turned down the E.T. tie in.

They passed and Hershey grabbed it. They never say exactly what candy it is in the movie.

[Radical Activist]

31. Every company mentioned in Idiocracy.

Or maybe they're tied for first. Great movie.
