Evolution.
This was a little extra at the end of the movie-
Oh, and that's the least sell-outish part of the film.
They defeat the end monster with head and shoulders.
THEIR WEAPON IS MOTHER-FUCKING HEAD AND SHOULDERS.
I win the thread.

Just wanted to thank you for providing me with my next hour's worth of entertainment. I love that site.HardkorSB said:

I didn't post it because it actually is shameless product placement, I posted it because it takes the piss out of what this thread is about. It's relevant satire you could say.
Although there are many reasons I'm embarrassed for having watched Blade: Trinity, one of the ones that stands out is the mindblowingly bad product placement for the ipod. Not only do they have a short clip so blatantly written in Marketese that it's rather jarring, the lead female character uses earbuds to listen to her music WHILE IN HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT WITH MULTIPLE VAMPIRES!
God, it makes me uncomfortable just remembering that scene.

No mention of the live action Josie and the Pussycats yet?
Granted, all of the product placement in that was deliberate, and part of the joke...

Though not a film, I can think of Pizza Hut in Code Geass. That was so overplayed it became part of the show's charm.
"Pizza Hut supports the rebellion"
Every other episode had about 5 seconds of the camera hovering over a Pizza Hut box. Lulz

Paahahahahahaahah it's been years since I've seen that, but for some reason that made me laugh hard.Midgeamoo said:
Well ofcourse I know it was meant as a parody, I just referenced it as an example as to the lengths a movie would have to go in order for me to become annoyed by the product placement.twistedmic said:
I'm sure there were loads of people who hated the scene in 28 Days Later were someone tosses the protagonist a pack of Maltesers. But as far as I'm concerend, why the hell not?
What about Santa Claus: The Movie? There's that scene with that homeless kid was hungry and he look out to the inside of a McDonalds jot seeing people eating their burgers and etc.
At 3.25.
So you're telling me that it's so fun chatting with your mate or family while chowing down your nuggets, burger and taking a refreshing drink of Coca Cola that it can make a homeless boy go hungry and envy?
EDIT-
Ok this isn't a film but it is indeed shameless!
Seriously in part 4 when he does become the Hulk, he didn't even smash that stupid product placement car!!!

The one that had me roaring with laughter was Demolition Man.
It had a bit where the characters made a big point about going to a Taco Bell resturant, that chain being the sole survivor of "the franchise wars", within the film's future setting.
I, however, live in a region where this company have no presence, so in the localised copy I watched, the words "Taco Bell" were badly dubbed over and CG overlaid with "Pizza Hut". Gotta love those italian mariachis.

I find it alarming and unprofessional that they had typos in that sentence, they missed out an S.Eclpsedragon said:
