There's a reason for the product placement in Fight Ckub, though.

I think it was showing how big the big companies get, but I found it funnier when the cop car ran into the trailer, and they were all pre-made with burger and buns in the boxes already. To think McDonald's probably paid a lot of money for the product placement. The Fifth Element however is one of my favorite movies of all time. Well put together, great acting, with the exception of Chris tucker, the whole screaming like a girl thing, and wearing a dress through me off, but at least it wasn't orange. I loved the way that they would be having two separate scenes where the dialogue matched up between both of them, and it always concerned the same topic, it is something you don't see done well in movies to often. Working at DISH Network, I had just gotten set up with my Blockbuster movie Pass, and I figured what would be the best movie to rent first, and of course The Fifth Element won hands down, I spent a couple days streaming some of the 3000 movies to my television and 2 days later, I got to enjoy a classic all over again.

Does it count as product placement if the logo has not been deliberately 'placed' there? Those HSBC logos are all over the airport in reality

Just to say that IMHO, it's the best placement EVER for Lagavulin ^^

i don't actually see why that's a bad product placement... but what ever the reason, FedEx didn't pay a penny for it.

Jack Daniels, I have no doubt there are more...

I feel like I just watched a 2 hour block of pointless and disturbing commercials. The film is an utter waste of time. Do yourself a favour. If you wish to watch a post apocalyptic film rent out 12 monkeys.

It's often joked that most companies that were plugged in this film ran into problems over the next few years.

Inspite of all his scarce resources Will Smith leaves a DVD of Spongebob Squarepants running.

I presume it's not on TV but it's still using up vital electricity from his Honda generators, & giving something for the zombies to spot as well.

Texas Instruments's Speak & Spell gets a good plugging, as do Kenner's Star Wars figures, BMX bikes & Dungeons & Dragons.

An Atari 2600 console is visable in a few shots in the lounge.

Hi,

Thanks for the comment.

The images displayed above are only from the Matrix Reloaded film.
When doing Revolutions, we will be sure to check out the Gatorade.

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the comment.

I got this info from IMDB

"Funded by the British Film Council, which in itself is funded by the National Lottery. As a result of this, there are prominent advertisements for the National Lottery throughout the film, for example in the newsagents near the beginning of the film and in the supermarket (in the background while Jim and Frank are discussing whisky). "
