Holy dicks! This movie has product placement! It's automatically a bad movie.

Casino Royale, too. Read this:

if you truly want to see mind melting product placement... i point you to the ultimate. ...no need to watch the whole film. just watch the last 3-5 minutes

Van Damme, Dennis Rodman. Double Team.

Great article.

Now, product placement is only product placement when the manufacturer of the product has acutally PAID to have it exposed. If not, it\'s called a Product Plug, and in my view, that\'s a completely different story.

Oh, BTW, check this out, it\'s on \"I, Robot\":

http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=i_robot

Ooh, ooh, Coyote Ugly! That was a bar (as well as a saying about biting your arm off), wasn\'t it?

The product placement in Back to the Future was actually part of the story. They deliberately chose products that changed their logo from the 50\'s to the 80\'s to make a contrast between the two times.

What about the hilarious Tropicana product placement in Unbreakable? The carton sits in the foreground during a length exchange at the breakfast table, taking up around three-quarters of the screen.

I completely missed the point of the onscreen conversation, as I was too busy laughing at the blatant juice-selling.

I like the mystery that is Dr Pepper (and also the taste). According to your new best friend\'s website, they barely knew who invented it, and the reason why it was named so is lost to the annals of time!

Oh, and in response to everyone who asked why Josie and the Pussycats wasn\'t on the list, it\'s because it\'s blatantly an anti-corporate gag, mocking product placement by making it glaringly obvious. No money changed hands.

Just checked my mail for this article - people sent me mail! - and the most interesting one was a guy who works for the Dr. Pepper Museum, who told me he was glad Dr. Pepper advertised in movies because it gave them more exhibits to show! They have a life-size Spidey! Why don\'t you check out www.drpeppermuseum.com today and quench your thirst... for information!

Although not a movie, HBO\'s \"The Wire\" is a particularly bad offender. Apparently every phone in Baltimore is owned by Verizon. Every time a phone company is mentioned the characters exlaim, \"I called Verizon and ...\" annoying. Also the movie \"The Saint\" starring Val Kilmer was pretty terrible. It was basicallly a 2 hour commercial for some cell phone that no longer exists. I saw this movie at a theater in Hungary and upone entering and exiting the theater there were giant cardboard cutouts of Val using the phone. Twice as annoying!

I think I\'m going crazy. I saw The Break Up tonight and every time someone drank, it was a Budweiser. It didn\'t happen very often and it wasn\'t that obvious, but I kept noticing it. God, I\'ll never be able to watch another movie again.

Great article.

I agree with some of the user comments that things like a generic cola can are sometimes even more distracting than a brand-name item (I think Seinfeld always did this).

But I remember \"I, Robot\" and \"The Island\" (already lousy movies to begin with) completely ruined by blatant, lingering shots of advertised products. Every time I tried to get into the movie, I was jarred back to reality by corporate stupidity. I kid you not - I spent the rest of the movie counting the product placements (more fun than watching the movie!)

The Matrix Revolutions... Did anyone else notice that every single vehicle in the movie is made by GM?

Yeah, that\'s because that\'s real life. Prominent logos and product placements are 99% in movies to make money, not to add to REALISM (as you put it). Spidey lands on a truck, sure, but does it have to be so obviously shot so we the audience can see the contents? Is The Island a more realistic film because Ewan McGregor wears Puma trainers? No, of course not.

Like the Repo Man example, it is possible to be just as jarring by not having real products in your movie. Personally, I like the Tarantino/Kevin Smith approach of creating your own brands and using them e.g. Red Apples, Nails, Mooby\'s, Chewlees gum etc.

Since nobody saw \"Torque,\" I can probably forgive it\'s omission. Then again, no one saw \"The Island,\" either.

flashboca has a point. It\'s always jarring seeing \"generic soft drink can\" as opposed to a real product (depending on the era of the movie, The Islands Xbox logo\'s were \"wtf?!\") but lingering shots of logo and I,Robots gratuitous placement really grates. For a truly jarring experience though, Alex Coxs \"Repo Man\" is the best. It has almost no product placement at all (not due to the producers trying mind), and generic white labels reading “beer”, “food” etc are used. The one exception is for a famous in car air freshener, that appears in every vehicle in the movie.

People whining about product placement amaze me. Would you rather Spiderman shoot his web at a generic red soda can that looks like Coke, but doesn\'t say Coke?

Quit bitching and look around YOUR apartment! You will see DOZENS of brand names and logos without even getting up off your couch. Having them in the movie adds to the REALISM.

P.S. At least 4 of hte so called product placement in this list, were NOT true product placements, as money did NOT change hands for the inclusion in the movie. Again...it was added for REALISM. Because only frickin\' idiots would rather see generic products.

...an overseas movie called \"2002\" has so much product placement the ending credits scroll down 12+ min just for it.

You really need to watch Josie and the Pussycats, not only because it\'s the best movie ever, but also because it\'s a glaring omission from your list. Granted, they didn\'t make any money off them, and they played into the movie\'s MTV pop culture sub/superliminal advertising theme or whatever, but we\'re talking about a continuous stream of hundreds of advertisements throughout the movie. I mean, there was a plane decked out in Target bullseyes for crissakes!

First of all I\'d say you should really do a shred of research before you write something like this. Product placement goes all the way back to the birth of film. Think about Fast Eddie's standard order in The Hustler or the stores featured in Miracle on 42nd Street. Check out Product Placement in Hollywood Films: A History by Kerry Segrave.
Secondly how do you leave out the Nora Ephron stinker You\'ve Got Mail or any of the Bond Pictures to name a few obvious omissions?

The two \"Top 10 Whatever\" lists www.gorillamask.net linked to today really dropped the ball. First, the \"Top 20 Gayest Video Game Characters of All Time\" left off Don Flamenco, and then you guys leave off \"MAC and Me\" a feature film PRODUCED BY MCDONALDS soley to advertise McDonalds and Coke to kids, yet poorly disguised as a a cute alien buddy movie. Its notorious for its blatant product placement, yet is nowhere on this list.
