Re: Stupid Product Placements

Okay, anyone else have a gripe about a ridiculous product placement ruining your suspension of disbelief? Anyone?

I was watching “The Matrix Reloaded” Friday evening and found myself laughing at an obvious promo. I then recalled this thread so I thought I’d contribute.
The chase scene in “Reloaded”: Morpheus, Trinity and the key maker come flying out of the parking garage in the new Cadiliac “sports” car. The Caddy crest/ logo was damn near center-screen for a cool 3-4 seconds in slo-mo.
Also, the two albino rastafari guys were in hot pursuit in, you guessed it, a new caddy Escalade. It is also interesting to note all the competitors, er I mean bystander cars (BMW, for instance) that get trashed so prominently 😉
