I had no idea that Taco Bell wasn't the only company to survive the franchise wars in Demolition Man.

I was hoping they wouldn't forget about Wayne's World. Nothing like selling out to the bigger man.

Although they were stupid enough to forget about the Selterburg movies. Thats pretty much the only reason as to why those movies keep getting funded. And its not like they actually use it, they actually say what that is and stuff.

Whats the Selterburg movies? Google gave me nothing. By your description it sounds like something out of The Truman Show.

That Wayne's World scene is classic! LOL

Didn't realize there were that many in Transformers 2. Then again, that movie put me to sleep so I probably missed most of them.

That one just occurred to me and it's too bad it wasn't included in the video.

I know they do it on purpose, but I like it because it adds a bit of realism. I tend not to notice a lot of times when you see real life everyday products in movies. To me the things that jump out are when you see things like a can that says "soda" or "cola" on it. Removing the brands is more noticeable than product placement IMO.

Friedburg and Seltzer. You know, those 2 dudes that keep making crappy spoof movies like Meet the Spartans and Vampire's Suck?
