Swarkoski Crystal feautres heavily but it didn`t click until they actually stood outside the shop!!

Oh and Jennifer Ellison-seems to be in it -well because she is-she has no function in the plot...at all..and only has two outfits aah shame :/

I, Robot. Not for the Converse/Audi plugs, infuriating as they are - but for being a 100 minute Will Smith commercial. Don`t think I`ve ever seen such a `what a guy` movie (I didn`t count the 10 min end credits).

Surely the MOST blatant was Audi in `I Robot`

Blade Runner: All the products featured in the film, had either ran in to financial dififculty or went bankrupt.

When I watch a Michael Bay film I always get the feeling I`m watching one big Coca Cola commercial, for example Armageddon.

Dirty Harry - the .44 Magnum

You just know it had excitable Americans running out of the cinema in 1971 to their nearest `Ammu-nation` ( ;) ), looking for a heavyweight hand-cannon which their kids could find and blow their heads off with.

The constant remarks in films and TV referring to ebay are really getting to me now. Bought it on ebay/Sold it on ebay/That`ll be on ebay later.

It has worn thin.

The most blatent product placement I remember was in Return of the Killer Tomatoes, but that was kind of the point. They were delivered by George Clooney of all people, and some of them can be found here:

Wayne`s World 2 had an excellent parody of product placements in movies.
