   I wonder why “Runaway Bride” ist not in the video. When she jumps on the FedEx-Van: “Where is she going?” – “I don’t know, but she’ll be there by tomorrow morning.”

   Bringing Mac And Me into this is almost unfair… that movie is on its own level of atrociousness.

   Ever heard of Return of the Killer Tomatoes? They mocked budget-increasing product placement like hell in that film.

   you forgot about “evolution” (alien comedy with David Duchovny)
   it ended with a commercial for head & shoulders

   @KojachBaumherr Don’t waste your time or money on the next Bay film.. He raped the transformers like Spielberg raped Indiana Jones.. I haven’t seen (nor will I ever) the second transformers movie, better yet, I walked out of the first one and demanded my money back.. :D

   I heard Nicorette didn’t have to pay for the placement in Meet the Parents, since it showed their product making the cat go insane and destroy a bunch of stuff.

    Sometimes that’s just what it takes to pay the production costs. Advertising is a necessary evil.

    What, no mention of the Josie and the Pussycats remake? That movie was all advertisements.

    I wish you would have mentioned the terminal, a movie Tom Hanks was in which took place inside the shopping district of an airline baggage claim. I think that may have beaten out Michael Bay since product placement of as many things as possible was actually the heart and soul of the film.
    Still a great movie though.
