[[folder: Straight examples:]]

* ''Film/UndercoverBrother''. Several times in the movie Undercover Brother is shown drinking a Big Gulp (a beverage cup sold by 7-11) full of orange soda.
* Another Older Than Television example is 1920 Creator/FattyArbuckle comedy ''Film/TheGarage'', in which then-prominent gasoline brand Red Crown is repeatedly and prominently featured in scenes taking place inside Fatty's autoshop.
* Almost anything released by Creator/ColumbiaPictures and its sister labels since 1982 have had product placement--that year, Columbia was bought by Coca-Cola, but was spun off in 1987, only for Columbia to then get snatched up by Creator/{{Sony}} in 1989, so most of their movies have some form of product placement.
* ''All'' of Creator/AdamSandler's films have absurd levels of product placement. To wit:
** ''Film/BillyMadison'' and Snack Pack pudding.
** ''Film/HappyGilmore'': The setting and circumstances actually do a good job of justifying the numerous examples here. Aside from the pro golf sponsors, the titular character's LoveInterest (who works in P.R.) gets the idea to have him do a Subway commercial after he'd been suspended from playing golf, in order to raise the money to pay off his grandmother's house from taxes. In the finals tournament, he wears a Subway shirt. Also played for laughs by how ridiculously overacted the advertisements are: "I eat three every day to help keep me ''strong!''"
** ''Film/TheWaterboy'': Coach Klein intentionally states that Gatorade is better than water to the title character, in order to allow him to channel the anger into a game-winning defensive rush.
** Then there's the Popeyes Fried Chicken sponsorship in ''Film/LittleNicky'', which passes beyond product placement and becomes {{Anvilicious}} in its [[{{Narm}} hamfistedness]]. In one scene, Nicky not only eats Popeyes, but says, "Man, Popeyes' chicken is [[PrecisionFStrike fuckin']] ''awesome''!" Could it get any worse? Oh yes, it could... Nicky's love of Popeyes is ''integral to his defeat of the BigBad''. Cue giant walking Popeyes bucket. There's also the "change Coke into Pepsi" scene, with Nicky's roommate making a face when he tastes the "miracle", which was actually included more as a reference to ''Film/PulpFiction'' (Jules mentions changing Coke into Pepsi as a miracle) but seeing Sandler's penchant for product placement, it was probably both.
** ''Film/MrDeeds'' has a whole scene dedicated to Deeds taking his staff out to Wendy's. He name-drops various menu items as he asks them how much they're enjoying the food. "How's that Frosty treating you?" There's also the water fountain that dispenses Hawaiian Punch.
** ''Film/JackAndJill'' takes this to its logical extreme by actually making the (male) Sandler character ''an ad executive''. One review counted no less than twelves different products being advertised during the movie, including (but not limited to) Dunkin' Donuts, Royal Carribean Cruise Lines (both of which are integral to the plot), Pepto-Bismol, Coca-Cola, Oreos, Sony electronics, Subway, and Red Vines. Four retailers (Dunkin', Radio Shack, Pepto, and Coke) happen [[EstablishingSeriesMoment in the first four minutes of the movie]]. The premise of the film even revolves around literal placement, as Jack is attempting to get Al Pacino to star in a Dunkin’ Donuts commercial.
** ''Film/AngerManagement'': There are "{{Establishing Shot}}s" peppered throughout the movie, except all they establish is that the characters are in a neighbourhood that has a lot of billboards advertising the Army.
** ''Film/BigDaddy'' has a scene dedicated to Sandler trying to order an Egg [=McMuffin=] for his son and being very upset that he just missed the 10:30 cut-off for breakfast. Those things are so delicious, it's too bad you can't order them all day! There's also multiple scenes taking place in Hooters.
** ''WesternAnimation/EightCrazyNights'' is probably the worst offender in that, despite the barrage of popular store logos, none of the brands that get name-dropped actually paid the filmmakers for those plugs. That means every scene you see in the mall, where ''everything'' is a real-life brand, isn't product placement as much as free advertisement (and aversion of BlandNameProduct, to boot).
** The biggest example in ''Film/{{Click}}'' is Bed, Bath, and Beyond. However, Twinkies and Yodels are also prominent.
** It is made abundantly clear in ''Film/{{Blended}}'' that Adam Sandler's character works in Dick's Sporting Goods (with the logo even being prominently displayed in the trailers), and the first date between him and Drew Barrymore takes place in a clearly-identified Hooters restaurant.
** ''Film/{{Pixels}}'' manages to cram in Sony television sets, a Platform/PlayStation4, Sony Xperia smartphones and a Crystal Head Vodka.
* ''Film/SixUnderground''; All over the shop. Energy Drinks, Cars, Watches, Creator/RyanReynolds' personal brand of gin... Do not take a drink every time you see a prominent logo, you will be blind and/or dead by the mid-point.
* ''Film/AddamsFamilyValues''. Gomez is in the police station, ranting at how unfair life is, how certain things and concepts are 'pure evil', and is on the topic of a money-grubbing psychopath who has brainwashed his beloved brother. Meanwhile, in the back, is a product plug in the form of the police station's very bright, very noticeable Coke machine. Someone Missed the Point. That...or someone had a very delicious 'TakeThat' moment against Product Placement.
* ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks''' sequel featured the chipmunks playing ''VideoGame/WiiSports'' and breaking the TV. Also, the Chippettes delivered themselves to Jett Records in a [=FedEx=] envelope.
* ''Film/{{Annie 2014}}'':
** Citi Bike bike sharing service, used as part of Annie's hustle, in violation of their rules. You're supposed to put the bike back at a Citi Bike rack yourself and not let anyone else use it. But since Annie's the protagonist, you know she's a good girl and returns the borrowed bike like she's supposed to.
** Ferrero Rocher candies.
** Purell hand sanitizer: used liberally by Will.
** Toblerone candies.
** Twitter and Instagram are a significant part of the film's climax.
** Windows 8 is featured prominently in Will's smart house.
* ''Film/BabylonAD'' had an airliner with a Coke Zero ad painted across its entire surface. Actually, New York City seems to be obsessed with Coke in the future; it had billboards everywhere.
* The ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' movies. Hoo boy...
** Pepsi Free ([[HilariousInHindsight hilarious now that it's rebranded as Caffeine Free Pepsi]]). What makes this one especially notable and funny is that, during filming, Creator/MichaelJFox apparently had difficulty ''ordering'' the damn Pepsi!
** Texaco comes to mind; the only location besides the courthouse that's in 1955 ''and'' 2015 Hill Valley. They would probably have worked it into ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'' as well if the lack of gas stations in the wild west hadn't been a plot point. The filmmakers say Shell actually offered them more money, but they went with Texaco instead because of how different their [[http://www.completegamester.com/pages/AR-Signs/automobile/TEXACO36.jpg 1955 logo]] looked from their [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8f/Texaco_logo.svg/170px-Texaco_logo.svg.png 1985 logo]].
** The film got a fair amount of money from the California Raisin Board specifically for the purpose of product placement. The film staff had promised that the film would do to California Raisins what ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' had done to Reese's Pieces. Needless to say, the California Raisins execs weren't too happy to find that their funding only resulted in [[TrollingCreator a bench (partially covered up by a sleeping hobo) with their product's name on it]].
** And despite being set in 1885, ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'' managed to work in a product placement, too; the pie tin that Marty throws like a Frisbee (another trademarked item, by the way) is from the long-defunct but relaunched Frisbie Pie Company. Yup, they were real.
** Western Union will keep your letter for 70 years and deliver it at the appointed place and time, to the minute, in the middle of nowhere, during a thunderstorm.
** Other visible labels: Calvin Klein, Nike, Pizza Hut, [=AT&T=], and Mattel.
* ''Film/BadBoysII'' has Mike and Marcus commandeer a car from Dan Marino on a test drive in order to chase after the bad guys. While the car is never actually mentioned by name, Mike directly says "Dan Marino should definitely buy this car. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Well, not this car, because I'm gonna fuck it up, but one just like it.]]"
* At one point in the film of ''Film/BeingThere'', Chance and Eve watch ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood''. ''Series/SesameStreet'', ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'', ''Series/CaptainKangaroo'', ''Series/GetSmart'', ''Series/TheHollywoodSquares'', and ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' are also seen on TV, as well as ads for Posturpedic mattresses, Die Hard batteries, Natural Light beer, Mounds candy bars, Fuzz Buster radar detectors, Gatorade, and Quaker State motor oil.
* ''Film/BicentennialMan'': In the [[Literature/TheBicentennialMan original story]], US Robots was the company responsible for manufacturing Andrew Martin. A real-life company [[{{Defictionalization}} named themselves]] "US Robotics" in 1976, based on Dr Asimov's fictional company. [[ZigZaggedTrope Instead of keeping the name]], the film [[AdaptationNameChange changed it]] to "North American Robotics".
* ''Film/BlackLightning2009'': The movie has some non-subtle displays of Yota and other local brands.
* In ''Film/BladeTrinity'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv0ZPj0JLQ4 has a scene]] dedicated to showing how vampire hunters don't leave home without their iPods.
* ''Film/BladeRunner'': Atari, Coca-Cola, Pan Am, etc. The animated Coke billboard featuring the geisha is one of the film's most iconic moments.
* ''Film/BlueVelvet'': Frank asks what kind of beer Jeff likes, who responds, "Heineken." Frank shouts, "Heineken?! Fuck that shit! ''Pabst! Blue! Ribbon!''" This is something of a subversion, given that Frank is a complete psychopath. His favoring a low-cost domestic beer over an imported Dutch beer is probably meant to show how little class he has.
* Perhaps the first film product placement occurs in Creator/GeorgesMelies' "Bluebeard". In the kitchen scene, many items for the wedding banquet are marched out, including a HUGE bottle of branded champagne, for which Melies got paid by the champagne bottler.
* The 1991 film ''Film/CareerOpportunities'' could almost be a poster child for this trope. The film is set primarily in a Target department store, with store logos and copious amounts of product visible in virtually every scene. And several sequences add up to saying "look at all the cool stuff you can do in our stores, including romancing Creator/JenniferConnelly."
* Chuck Nolan's two companions for several years on a DesertedIsland in ''Film/CastAway'' are a Wilson volleyball and a [=FedEx=] package. Despite often seeming like a big advert for [=FedEx=], the producer said it turned out to be too much hassle to figure a way to have them pay for the placement.
* ''Film/Catwoman2004'' shows our heroine stare seductively at a Jaguar's hood ornament, after jumping into the middle of the street and the car almost hits her.
* ''Film/Challengers2024'':
** Some examples in the film are justified, as the film is about athletes who have their own endorsements:
*** While she was still an active tennis player Tashi had a deal with Adidas, and prominently wore their merchandise in ads and on the court.
*** Tashi and Art later have a partnership with Aston Martin, called Game Changer{s}.
*** The tennis players wear a lot of branded clothing while playing on the court, most notably from Nike.
*** Art and his team wear a lot of Uniqlo.
** Other examples:
*** Tashi and Art are prominently shown using a [=MacBook=] to watch his match at the hotel.
*** A famished, down-on-his-luck Patrick shares a bagel sandwich from Dunkin' Donuts with a worker at the challenger event.
*** Art asks Tashi to be his coach at an Applebees in Cincinnati.
*** Art and Tashi are shown staying in a suite at the New Rochelle's Four Seasons.
* ''Film/Charly2002'': Sam and Charly both use Southwest Airlines to travel between Utah and New York. According to the director's commentary, Southwest was eager to be featured in the film and provided them with ample stock footage of their aircraft to use.
* ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind'' had one of the first examples of this in the movies with a prominent Budweiser commercial.
* ''Film/{{Cloverfield}}'' features heavy Nokia product placement ([[spoiler:an otherwise desolate subway room is quite on-your-face with Nokia's advertisement]]).
* In the movie ''Film/CoolRunnings'', the TitleDrop occurred in a scene with a prominently placed bottle of Coca-Cola. And near the beginning, there's a shot of eight sprinters about to race while in front of a MASSIVE Coke advert.
* ''Film/CryWolf'' was made as the result of a contest hosted by Chrysler. Easy guess what kind of cars everyone owns.
* ''Film/DaleksInvasionEarth2150AD'', the second Creator/PeterCushing ''Series/DoctorWho'' film adaptation, had early paid sponsorship by Sugar Puffs. Cue huge numbers of out-of-place posters advertising the cereal in a supposed post-apocalyptic world.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'':
** The Lamborghini in ''Film/TheDarkKnight''. For bonus plug points, all the shots of The Lamborghini were filmed with the IMAX camera, while all the shots in the scene involving Gordon, Reese, Dent, The Joker, and the hospital (bar the explosion) were filmed in 35mm. Much more subtle.
** There's a Starbucks in the background when the Joker's firing a submachine gun into traffic.
** ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' has some filming that was done at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. When Bane is "interviewing" Dr. Pavel on the field, there is a very prominent Doritos advertisement on the scoreboard behind him. Also, neon sign advertisements for real brands can be seen when Selina Kyle is meeting Stryver in the bar.
* ''Film/DaysOfThunder'': As with ''Film/TalladegaNights'' the product placements are numerous among characters, including Exxon for Rowdy Burns, Hardee's for Russ Wheeler, and Superflo, Mello Yello, and City Chevrolet for Cole Trickle. The last one, City Chevrolet is the former name of a car dealership in Charlotte, which is now called Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet. As the name indicates, that dealership is owned by Hendrick Motorsports' owner Rick Hendrick. Since Hendrick provided all of the prop cars for Days of Thunder, it seems a fitting placement.
* Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse:
** ''Film/ManOfSteel'' made $170 million in deals with promotional partners even before it was released.
*** During Superman and Zod's battle in Smallville, they rip through a 7-11 and an IHOP and land in front of a Sears store.
*** When Lois is following Clark onto the ancient ship, she places her Nikon camera atop a surface before lifting herself up. The logo is blatantly placed in front of the camera and with full view of the near-mint device.
** ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'': Diana is taking a Turkish Airlines flight when she hears of Doomsday on the news (a possible MythologyGag regarding the Amazons of actual Greek myth, who were said to live in a region which includes modern-day Turkey).
** ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'':
*** Rather "Charity Placement" than "Product". When Bruce picks up Barry and they're driving to the airport of Central City, a billboard can be seen and saying "YouAreNotAlone", by the [[UsefulNotes/{{Suicide}} American Foundation for Suicide Prevention]] (AFSP). Creator/ZackSnyder supports this foundation since his daughter Autumn took her own life back in 2017, and so did/do many fans who [[invoked]][[SendingStuffToSaveTheShow campaigned to get the movie released]].
*** We get a very glamorous insert shot of a name-brand razor when Bruce is shaving in the first act.
*** It's no coincidence that Wonder Woman and Bruce Wayne both drive Mercedes Benzes.
* In the future world of ''Film/DemolitionMan'', every single restaurant and fast-food chain has been bought out by Taco Bell. And the characters often sing commercial jingles (the only form of "classic" music that's clean and wholesome enough for the incredibly uptight San Angeles). In Europe, parts of Latin America, Asia and Oceania, where there are no Taco Bells, all logos were replaced with Pizza Hut logos and the lines were redubbed accordingly. However, some versions omit the name of the restaurant all together.
* ''Film/DenOfThieves'': There are several scenes in which Carl's Jr. bags are visible.
* ''Film/DennisTheMenaceDinosaurHunter'': During the luau at the end, Dennis and his friends are drinking Cokes and Minute Maid brand soda. Both of these brands are owned by Coca-Cola, whose Coca-Cola Telecommunications division (a quasi spin-off of Creator/ColumbiaPictures Television, which they owned at the time) co-produced and distributed the film.
* ''Film/DieHard'': When Harry offers to deliver [=McClane=] to them, they pour him a glass a Coca-Cola. He reacts as if he's being pampered. When the robbers turn on him, he gulps down the last of his soda.
* Just try to put a number on the shameless product placements in ''Film/{{Disturbia}}''.
* At one point in the original ''Film/DrDolittle'' while driving, Dr. Dolittle drinks from a highly visible Dunkin' Donuts coffee cup.
* ''Film/DrStrangelove'': If Group Captain Mandrake doesn't reach the President on a coin phone, he'll have to answer to the Coca-Cola company. (He made Colonel Bat Guano shoot the coin lockbox off a Coke machine to obtain the money to make the call and futily avert a nuclear winter.)
* Strangely averted in ''Film/{{Doomsday}}''. The filmmakers decided the CoolCar should be a shiny new Bentley. Bentley, however, is too classy to do product placement, so they had to buy three brand-new cars at full price. They then wrecked two of them filming the chase sequences.
* In the Creator/JeanClaudeVanDamme/Dennis Rodman film ''Film/DoubleTeam'' the grand finale occurs at the Coliseum between JCVD, a tiger, land mines and Mickey Rourke. When the heroes are outrunning the explosion, the corridors of the Coliseum appear to be infested with prominently placed Coca-Cola machines, to the point the heroes weather out the worst of the blast by hiding behind one of the explosion-defying machines.
* ''Film/EdTV'', which anticipated reality television, was about a man named Ed who signed up to be on a television show that would consist of broadcasting his entire life, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. As the network never interrupted the broadcast to show commercials, they made money by placing advertisements in [[{{Crawl}} scrolling text along the bottom of the television screen]]. The film itself shows these advertisements whenever a television appears, and as ''[=EdTV=]'' becomes more and more popular, the advertisers change, changing from local businesses to organizations with deeper pockets. By the end of the film, even "The Islands Of The Bahamas" are buying ad space on ''[=EdTV=]''. According to the commentary the creators were even lucky to get the organizations to allow their brand to be shown on the screen, because of the satirical stance of the movie.
* ''Film/{{Elysium}}'':
** It looks like Max's [[PoweredArmor Exosuit]], and possibly all other Exosuits, are made and manufactured by Kawasaki; there's also a med-pod with a large Versace logo on it.
** In the beginning, there is a closeup of Max's Adidas, possibly a nod to ''Yellow'', the commercial Blomkamp did for the shoe company.
** Carlyle's personal space shuttle is an in-universe badged Bugatti, with design cues from the Veyron.
** Delacourt's wristwatch/communicator has the Bvlgari brand.
* Famously, Hershey's got "Reese's Pieces" into the movie ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'', after M&Ms balked on the project, thinking the movie would flop.
* ''Film/{{Evolution|2001}}'' is the film that taught the world that Head & Shoulders shampoo will not only keep your hair silly smooth '''and'' dandruff free; it'll also save humanity. The protagonists discover that the alien menace can be killed by selenium. When they wonder where they are going to get several hundred gallons of it, a couple of slacker students reveal that Head & Shoulders contains selenium sulfide as the active ingredient. Thus, they fill a fire truck with the stuff and use it to save the day. It's done so tongue in cheek (the movie is a comedy) that it's obviously a parody and it culminates with the characters making a faux ad for Head & Shoulders at the very end of the film (supposedly this was suggested by the director's son, JasonReitman).
-->'''Ira Kane''': Wow, fighting the alien menace can be tough work.
-->'''Harry Block:''' And so is keeping your hair clean, shiny and dandruff free.
-->'''Wayne Grey:''' So it's a good thing we always keep a healthy supply of [all join in], Head and Shoulders, around the house. (Played right before end credits, the three holding the product - one of them backwards).
** Also, chemistry enthusiasts may know that selenium sulfide is used in virtually all dandruff shampoos, not just Head & Shoulders.
* ''Film/FantasticFour2005'' has an argument take place between the team at an X-Games tournament, which is littered with various billboards in the background. However, considering it is the X-Games, that at least makes some sense.
* ''Film/FantasticFourRiseOfTheSilverSurfer'' is rife with product placement, including a Dodge logo on the nose of the Fantasticar, but it also spoofs it with Johnny's over-logoed uniform near the beginning of the film.
* ''Film/FantasticFour2015'' has some rather inexplicable Dr. Pepper and Orange Crush vending machines just behind the lab's doors.
* An unusual case in ''Film/{{F9}}: The Fast Saga''. Red Digital Cinema, a company known for its professional cinema cameras, paid for extensive product placement of its first smartphone, the Hydrogen One. The phone was was a commercial failure and was discontinued in November 2019, after filming of ''F9'' had finished. The [=COVID-19=] pandemic delayed the film until June 2021, so when it finally came out, it was promoting a phone that been discontinued for over a year and a half. Some [[https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2020/1/31/21117444/fast-furious-9-red-hydrogen-one-phone-product-placement-trailer news outlets]] joked the film is set in an alternate universe where the phone didn't fail.
* ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' features the titular character watching Creator/{{MTV}} early in the film. The year it came out was also the year media conglomerate Viacom bought the network, who made sure to place its logo in every film they could find. You can also see an early example of product placement when Ferris is seen drinking Pepsi not once, but twice, with the label shown prominently each time.
* ''Film/FightClub'' has Project Mayhem members smash in a Volkswagen Beetle and break into a Mac store -- apparently, the director was approached by those companies. Project Mayhem also breaks a large spherical sculpture and sends it rolling into a Starbucks. On the DVDCommentary, director David Fincher said that once they had permission to use the Starbucks logo, they decided to stick it in anywhere they could possibly manage. Fincher also notes how a soft drink logo is used to highlight a gun; he alleges that every noticeable instance of product placement in the movie is directly tied to violence.
* ''Film/TheFifthElement'' has a UsefulNotes/McDonalds with [[FanServiceWithASmile sexy semi-dressed cashiers]] and a drive-through window for flying cars in the middle of a logo that fills the entire screen, as well as several flying 'road train' type trucks, each trailer bright red with the Golden Arches painted on the side... in a sequence featuring the actor Creator/MacMcDonald.
* ''Film/FirehouseDog:'' Several brands and products are brought into focus throughout the movie. The video games that Shane plays are specifically stated to be Microsoft consoles, with special attention brought to his PSP and [=PlayStation=], and at the end of the movie, the Presleys invite the Faheys out to dinner, mentioning Bojangles by name.
* The Disney rendition of ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle'' either uses product placement, or spoofs it; hard to tell. This is most obvious with the pair of Nike Airs that George--who has until recently never worn shoes before ''in his life''--pulls out for a trans-continental run and makes a big show of putting them on. Other instances may include a brand of coffee (HilarityEnsues when the caffeine--apparently foreign to George's system--synergizes with the sugar high he's on) and UsefulNotes/McDonalds (which George eats while riding on top of a trolly car). There's also an extended shot of a UPS truck that George used to ship himself back to Africa from San Francisco.
** The sequel straight up parodied this trope by having an elephant randomly wearing New Balance shoes. This is lampshaded by the narrator.
-->'''Narrator''': See if you can spot our discreet product placement.
-->'''Ursula''': Oh, great, the elephant's wearing New Balance! ''(she faints)''
* In ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'', Jillian Holtzmann's fondness for Pringles is a little... on-the-nose:
-->'''Erin:''' How can you eat at a time like this?\\
'''Holtzmann:''' Just try saying no to these salty parabolas!
* ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'': Technically the entire movies is MerchandiseDriven by Hasbro, but the film also includes Double Bubble, Norton [=AntiVirus=], Cisco Systems, Chrysler, Hummer, Opel...
* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'':
** Eleven different Creator/{{Toho}} movies from the Showa Era between 1960 and 1978 have advertisements for the Japanese soda brand [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bireley%27s Bireley's]], which could be anything from a split second shot of a Bireley's bottle on a shelf amongst other bottles, to [[https://wikizilla.org/w/images/0/00/Mothra_suit.jpg a prominently-placed billboard]] in the foreground that King Kong or Mothra moves past. It's so reoccurring it's actually become something of a RunningGag in the franchise, with both ''ComicBook/GodzillaRulersOfEarth'' and ''Anime/GodzillaSingularPoint'' included references to it as a MythologyGag.
** The American dub of ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla'' [[https://wikizilla.org/w/images/e/e8/Godzilla_1985_Dr_Pepper_Machine.png included several]] [[https://wikizilla.org/w/images/7/7b/Godzilla_1985_Dr_Pepper_Can.png strategically placed Dr Peppers]] (in the form of cans and vending machines) in the new scenes filmed for the dub, as part of an advertising deal which also had Godzilla appearing in two Dr Pepper ads. An attempt was made for Creator/RaymondBurr to participate in the product placement but, taking his role seriously, he adamantly refused.
* ''Film/GoneGirl'':
** Count how often Leffe beer comes up. Nick and Amy MeetCute when Nick tells her to be careful where she puts her "monk-brewed Belgian wheat beer." She holds it up to the camera in some angles as they talk. It's also visible at The Bar and in Desi's refrigerator. Stella Artois and Hoegaarden, other Belgian beers owned by InBev, are also common.
** In her first scene, Detective Boney spends a substantial amount of time holding a Dunkin Donuts coffee cup.
* ''Film/GoodByeLenin'':
** In one case it's actually plot-relevant. The protagonist's mom was a fervent government officer from Communist UsefulNotes/EastGermany, she fell into a coma after a heart attack, and the doctor told them to avoid strong emotional jolt. Only problem is, the UsefulNotes/BerlinWall fell and Germany reunified while she was still in a coma. The whole movie is about the protagonists' attempts to hide the AwfulTruth from his mom until her heart is in better condition. Cue a gigantic red banner that turns out to be a Coca-Cola ad being hoisted on a nearby building as the fervently Communist mom looks worried at the scene.
** The director also added that the protagonist's sister works at Burger King because that company was easier for the producers to work with for filming locations than UsefulNotes/McDonalds. The latter ''does'' maintain a Potemkin restaurant specifically for the purpose, but it's kept to the latest store model and located in City of Industry, CA. Convenient for the latest Hollywood teen flick, but for a Berlin-based production set 13 years in the past...not so much.
* ''Film/TheGoodsLiveHardSellHard'': During Ready's introductory dinner with the Sellecks, he announces that he prefers takeout to a home-cooked meal and pulls out a bag of Arby's to eat at the dinner table. He scarfs out of it for the remainder of the scene.
* In ''Film/TheGoonies'', Chunk famously befriends Sloth with a Baby Ruth candy bar. There are numerous other food-and-drink related items shown, including Pepsi and Domino's Pizza.
* ''Film/TheGravedancers'': A Cheerwine[[note]]A cherry-flavored soda local to North Carolina where the movie is set and filmed.[[/note]] vending machine is very prominently and repeatedly visible in the hallway of the parapsychologist's facility.
* ''Film/HallPass'' has the main characters eating at Applebees.
* The 2000 adaptation of ''Film/{{Hamlet}}'' (set in the modern day) was chock full of these, but the most glaring one may have been when the ghost of Hamlet's father walked into a Pepsi machine and disappeared. Hamlet also delivers his famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy in the middle of a Blockbuster Video store. Specifically, he's in the action film aisle--ironic, since Hamlet's defining flaw (which that very soliloquy highlights) is his ''inaction''.
* ''Film/HarleyDavidsonAndTheMarlboroMan'': You can't get much more blatant than naming the characters after brands and then putting them in the title of the film. As well as Mr Davidson and Mr Man, we have characters named Jack Daniels and Virginia Slim (another cigarette brand).
* The FilmOfTheBook for ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' had one JustForFun/{{egregious}} example:
-->'''Harry Potter:''' Are you sure you don't want any help looking?
-->'''Luna Lovegood:''' That's all right. Anyway, my mum always said things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end.
-->[looks up to see ENORMOUS CLOSEUP OF RED CONVERSE ALL-STARS]
-->'''Luna Lovegood:''' If not always in the way we expect.
* In ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy'', Hellboy and Abe drink copious amounts of Tecate brand beer while singing about lost love. Tecate is one of the few beer brands that will pay for product placement even if characters drink it to excess.
* In one scene of Disney's ''Film/HocusPocus'', "[[{{Satan}} the Master]]" and his wife are tossing the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_Bar Clark Bar candy bars]] to the Sanderson Sisters, but after discovering the weirdness of the sisters, the wife forces them to leave with the Clark Bars. Once they're back out on the prowl, Mary at first thinks that she has "[[ImAHumanitarian the chocolate-covered finger of a man named Clark]]", but when she eats the Clark Bar and discovers that it's candy, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she asks why "the Master [would] give us candy"]], to which Winifred replies, "Because he's NOT our Master!" Also, while still at "the Master's" house, Mary turns on the TV and sees [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ABvOay1g7U a commercial for DuPont Stainmaster with a running baby in it]], and [[{{Squee}} she gets ecstatic]].
* ''Film/HomeAlone'':
** The [=McCallister=] family flies on American Airlines. The VHS releases even include American Airlines ads with scenes from the movies.
** ''Film/HomeAlone1'':
*** There's a very long, blatant shot of Kevin's cousin Fuller taking a very long sip of Pepsi, with the logo prominently displayed.
*** One of the snacks displayed prominently during Kevin's viewing of Angeles With Filthy Souls is a bag of Lay's Crunch Tators. This one got a limited rerelease in 2023.
** ''Film/HomeAlone2LostInNewYork the sequel'': Pepsi is replaced with Coke. There's also the Plaza Hotel in New York, which has its own commercial at the beginning of the movie, which Kevin records on his Talkboy, and later replays to get a reservation.
* In ''{{Film/Houseguest}}'', the protagonist's favorite food is Big Macs, and there's even one scene where he finds a [=McDonald's=] and runs toward it in slow motion while one of the songs from the commercials plays and there's an American flag blatantly blowing in the wind right next to the [=McDonald's=].
* The first shot in ''Film/TheHurtLocker'' is of the bomb disposal bot running over a Pepsi can in a massive closeup.
* David Levenstein's [=PowerBook=] 5300 in ''Film/IndependenceDay''. He later went on to do voiceovers in tons of Apple ads. (Ironically, the 5300 is probably one of the least cool Macs ever made -- not actually a bad computer, but rather bare-bones for the time. Well, except for that incident involving the flaming [=LiIon=] batteries.)
* The Singaporean dramedy, ''Film/INotStupid'', includes a blatant tie-in with the then-new Pink Dolphin beverages (from the Singapore-based drink company, Yeos') which the film repeatedly slaps into the audiences' faces every now and then. The protagonist, Terry keeps asking for Pink Dolphin beverages for breakfast, and every now and then pauses to talk about how healthy and nutritious it is. At one point Terry and his friend Boon Hock gets kidnapped, and in a KidnappersKFC moment Terry actually asks if his kidnapper could get him Pink Dolphin drinks (repeating his "Pink Dolphin is healthy and nutritious" rant) leading to the exasperated kidnapper lampshading the trope: "Do you think you're shooting a drink advert?"
* The sequel, ''Film/INotStupidToo'' has a deal with Singtel (Singapore Telecommunications). The new protagonist Tom Yeo is an avid blogger whose gadgets includes the then-recent Nokia and Apple laptops, and one scene is featured in an electronics shop selling the latest Ipod 6.
* ''Film/InspectorGadget1999'':
** When Claw causes the billboard to fall on top of Gadget's car, we see the Yahoo! logo on it, and hear the "Yahoo-oo!" jingle (heard in adverts from around the time the film was made).
** It has Penny press a button in Gadget's car to dispense Skittles (similar buttons that can be seen also had M&Ms and UsefulNotes/McDonalds emblazoned on it). Later, after taking a bus to Claw's office and finding the car surrounded with Skittles, saying that he has had the Skittles "knocked outta me!".
* ''Film/TheInternship'' seems like a 2-hour commercial for Google, but Google didn't actually pay a cent for the movie. The film largely pimps the company's career opportunities, which is a message that Google doesn't need any help delivering.
* ''Film/IRobot'':
** Del Spooner's 'Converse All-star' trainers get several mentions including a close-up of him removing them from the box near the start of the film. The Audi is acceptable as it adds a sense of realism however the close up of the JVC stereo is pretty hard to accept. Apparently we will still be listening to CD's in the future. A particularly odd case with the shoes, as he pops them up on his boss's desk at one point, and identifies them by brand name, saying that they're "vintage 2004", but Converse All Stars have remained popular and identical in design and construction since the 1920s, so it's a bit of an odd choice, as they'll surely still be available in the films TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture setting. Specifically, much of the product placement centered around Spooner focus on his preference for things from the past, rather than the widespread acceptance of robots and modern technology that everyone else has.
** And then there's the Fed-Ex delivery robot.
* ''Film/TheIsland2005'' features visible product placement in nearly every scene -- including a (now) out-of-date Xbox logo in the middle of a completely isolated clone society.
* ''Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld'' features numerous onscreen plugs for Coca-Cola. The scene where Buddy Hackett and Mickey Rooney fly an airplane through one of their billboards is merely the most prominent of these.
* ''Film/JamesBond'':
** Product placement began even ''before'' the first film was released: The teaser trailer for ''Film/DrNo'' was a love letter and advertisement for the Walther PPK.
** Nearly every ''Bond'' movie ever made endorses specific brands of cars (Aston Martin most famously), vodka (Smirnoff), champagne (Bollinger), and firearms (Walther Arms), among other things.
** Bond and his association with Aston Martin is legendary, although it hasn't been a constant; The American Motors Corporation sponsored ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'', so Bond drove around in a AMC compact car and the villain drove a [[FlyingCar flying]] AMC luxury coupe, Later on BMW got the product placement for Bond cars during the Creator/PierceBrosnan era until ''Film/DieAnotherDay'', when Ford got the sponsorship rights again and pumped the movie full of Ford brands (Aston, Jaguar, Ford, etc.)So much product placement was done in ''Die Another Day'' that some fans took to calling it Buy Another Day.
** Bond also takes care to show off his watch, first Seiko, then Omega (and Omega released movie tie-in watches). In the books, Bond wore Rolex watches, which also appear in the early movies (although Rolex refused to provide them).
** There is a suspiciously high number of KFC viewings, going as far back as ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}''.
** One of the more baffling product placement choices is in ''Film/LicenceToKill.'' The movie's title sequence heavily features Olympus-brand cameras, showing the brand name several times and having a photography theme that doesn't fit the rest of the movie. ''Licence'' does briefly feature two gadgets disguised as cameras, but neither of them are Olympus.
** ''Film/LicenceToKill'' also includes one of the most controversial product placements of TheEighties. A real-life Lark cigarettes package is used by Bond as a gadget (reportedly the company paid $350,000 for the privilege). When the film was released in the US it was considered enough of an ad that Creator/EonProductions was forced to include the Surgeon General's Warning on cigarette smoking in the closing credits of the film.
** The Creator/DanielCraig era villains all suspiciously use Land Rovers.
** ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'':
*** The film was obviously sponsored, produced, and distributed by Sony, because Bond uses a Sony Ericsson cell phone, a Cybershot camera, a Walkman, a Blu-ray recorder, and a Vaio laptop. He would use Sony phones for the three next films, the deal with Sony ended with ''Spectre''.
*** It also has blatant appearances of Virgin Atlantic. And Richard Branson.
** ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'':
*** Bond's new favorite beverage is Heineken. This came as the result of a $45 million deal, covering almost one third of its budget.
*** Sony products continue to make blatant appearances, including Vaio computers and Bond's phone, an Xperia T. The release of said phone was also tied in with ''Skyfall''.
** ''Film/NoTimeToDie'': in January 2021, some sponsor brands of the film ''demanded reshoots'' pertaining to their ProductPlacement - some products used by Bond in the film apparently became "obsolete" due to the long UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic-[=induced=] delays until the release.
* ''Film/JurassicWorld''
** In-Universe example. The park is a massive, corporate-sponsored resort and effectively its own city. You can see real stores, brands, and restaurants everywhere. Companies also sponsor specific exhibits and the ''I. rex'' was a test run for customized ''dinosaurs''. Claire and Dr. Wu are introduced pitching "[[ProductPlacementName Verizon Wireless Presents]] the ''Indominus rex''" to Verizon executives. Lowery at one point even snarks that they should just name the dinosaurs after corporations and be done with it. However, most of the various corporate tie-ins in the film were done without monetary sponsorships, [[RuleOfSymbolism in order to show that the park was slowly "selling out" to corporations]].
---> '''Lowery:''' Pepsisaurus... Tostitodon.
** The park main street has locations like Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, Ben & Jerry's, Pandora Jewelry and a Hilton Hotel. And Starbucks too, inevitably. [[note]] The main street area might [[StealthParody be parodying]] the Downtown Disney and [=CityWalk=] areas of Disney and Universal theme parks respectively - the latter counting as SelfParody.[[/note]]
** Just like in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'', the park's vehicles are supplied by Mercedes-Benz.
** All ATV's and motorcycles (except Owen's custom Triumph) are made by Kawasaki.
** Dairy Queen was also a part of the movie, and advertised its own ''Jurassic World'' sundae.
** Early in the film, Zach puts on "Beats by Dre" headphones.
** Samsung products are also prominently featured. In one of the park's museums, ([[ProductPlacementName the Samsung Innovation Center]]), guests are shown an informational video on an array of Samsung televisions, and most of the major characters use Samsung smartphones.
** When working on his motorcycle, Owen is clearly drinking a Coke from a classic bottle.
* ''Film/TheKarateKid'' has a cringe-worthy one when Daniel's mom asks him what he's "on" (implying drugs), and he replies that he's on Minute Maid (helpfully pointing out the carton of orange juice on the table).
* ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'':
** Hart's Trophy Room is lined with front pages of newspapers, each one a headline on the day the Kingsmen anonymously saved the world. Note how they are all 'Sun' headlines: at the time, The Sun and Fox - who made Kingsman - were both owned by Rupert Murdoch (he still owns the newspaper following the Disney buyout of Fox). It's a bit of BitingTheHandHumor, as The Sun headlines are all readbait sensationalism.
** The scenes in the pub have several shots where the Guinness logo is clearly visible, and that's the only beer named in the movie.
** Valentine's choice of meal when he has a lavish private dinner with Harry is UsefulNotes/McDonalds. Valentine talks about which items he like the best. After dinner, Harry thanks him for the "happy meal."
** Eggsy is quite fond of Adidas.
** In the climax, we're treated to a long close-up shot confirming that Eggsy uses Lenovo laptops to save the world with.
* Spanish film ''The Last Days'': Even people who know nothing about guns will know that the gun which Enrique gets is a Walther P99, because he briefly holds it so that "P99" and the maker's logo can be seen. Oddly, they are on the right side of the barrel, but an image search shows them to be on the left.
* Used to clever effect in ''Film/TheLastMimzy''. [[spoiler:When the government agents are analyzing the titular stuffed animal, they discover that it's made of Intel microprocessors, which baffles them because Intel has yet to release anything that advanced.]]
* Humorous product placement used as stealth character reference: Nicoale Carpathia, the Antichrist of the ''Literature/LeftBehind'' book series, is seen in the first film of the book series using a Macbook with the Apple logo visible. This is a clever reference to the fruit of knowledge in ''Literature/TheBible'', which is often depicted in art as an apple.
* ''Film/LeonardPart6'' was awash in blatant product placement. At one point, an outraged Creator/BillCosby confronts his daughter and her septuagenarian boyfriend, and holding a Coca Cola bottle next to his face the whole time. At the time, Coca-Cola owned [[Creator/ColumbiaPictures the studio]] (which they subsequently sold to Sony), so they were featured wherever possible, but dish soap and antacids even became part of the plot.
* OlderThanYouThink: the 1949 Creator/MarxBrothers film ''Love Happy'' (their final film) has a chase scene (and gags) around a series of billboards for various products of the era, including Harpo escaping his pursuers by riding the neon image of Mobil Oil's Flying Red Horse. The producers ran out of money and came up with the idea of selling advertising in the movie itself.
* ''Film/MacAndMe'' seems dedicated solely to shilling UsefulNotes/McDonalds and Coca Cola at every opportunity. One character works at [=McDonalds=] and wears the uniform through the whole film.
* ''Film/MadameWeb2024'' features a ''lot'' of Pepsi product placement throughout its runtime. The most extreme example of it being when the main villain Ezekiel meets his demise when a giant neon Pepsi sign falls onto him.
* It is no coincidence that almost every motorcycle seen in ''Film/MadMax'' is a Kawasaki.
* Cho-won from ''Film/Marathon2005'' is prominently shown wearing New Balance running clothes in many scenes. The end credits reveal that New Balance was one of the film's sponsors.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** Despite the Marvel movies being produced by various studios, Dr. Pepper seems to be the one binding force tying the various universes together.
** An early scene in ''Film/AntMan1'' takes place in a Baskin-Robbins. They even plug their new Mango Blast.
** The big car chase scene in ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'' sees Luis driving a size-changing [[CoolCar 2019 Hyundai Veloster]], complete with prominent shots of the vehicle's logo. The then new at the time 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe also made an appearance.
** ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' has a Dr. Pepper appearance, as well as Acura luxury cars. [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve]] is also shown riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
** In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'':
*** Comicbook/BlackWidow rides an electric Harley-Davidson [=LiveWire=]. Marvel even made sure to unveil the bike at San Diego Comic-Con.
*** The film has a very lucrative deal with Samsung. Notably, the fight between Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk and the Hulkbuster briefly moves to a Samsung building in South Africa, while the Avengers themselves use Samsung tablets at various points in the movie.
*** A rather distracting example occurs when Comicbook/BlackWidow and Bruce have a conversation while a can of Gillette shaving gel is shown prominently in the foreground. Bruce also shaves with a Gillette Fusion razor at one point.
*** Bruce calms himself down by listening to music with a pair of Beats headphones.
*** During the final battle, ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} sports an Under Armour top and a pair of Adidas sneakers. Under Armour even released a line of gear to tie-in to the movie, complete with a replica of the aforementioned Quicksilver shirt.
** In ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'', Lexus vehicles are prominently featured during the car chase in Busan.
** In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', the members of [[Comicbook/BlackPanther T'Challa]]'s entourage are all shown driving cars made by Audi. Audi vehicles also feature prominently in the tunnel chase sequence. Tony also mentions that he's wearing a Tom Ford suit during one scene.
** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'': As part of a product placement deal, Steve rides a then-new Harley-Davidson motorcycle, while Comicbook/BlackWidow drives a then-new black-on-black Corvette Stingray. Both vehicles were played up in the online marketing for the movie. S.H.I.E.L.D. shirts provided by Under Armour also appear.
** The brand might not be clearly visible in the movie itself, but according to a commercial using the scene in question, Film/DoctorStrange2016's beard is shaved into being by a Norelco razor. In the actual movie itself, there are plugs for Honor smartphones from China, as well as Surface tablets. And Strange's life-changing accident comes while he's driving his sweet [[CoolCar Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4]].
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' prominently features two shots of the same Dairy Queen in Peter Quill's town in two different decades.
** In ''[[Film/IronMan1 Iron Man]]'':
*** Tony's Audi is quite prominent.
*** The film has a nice close-up on the screen of Tony's Verizon phone as he's talking to Stane near the beginning.
*** The first thing Tony Stark asks for after being rescued is an American burger. He shows up in the next scene conspicuously discarding a Burger King bag.
** In ''Film/IronMan2'', we get a close-up of Tony drinking from a water bottle with a Dick's Sporting Goods logo in full view of the camera. Other brand plugs include Rolls Royce, Starbucks, Creator/{{SEGA}}, Randy's Donuts, and Dr. Pepper.
** ''Film/IronMan3'' has plugs for Samsung, Sun, Oracle, [=FiOS=], Audi cars and TCL phones.
** ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' has some shilling for Synchrony Bank, Dell, Sony and Audi, including a prominent scene in the climax where Spider-Man uses an Audi car to chase down the Vulture.
** ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' has the 2022 Hyundai Tucson and Ioniq 5 featured in key parts of the movies plot. They also fly to and back from Europe with United Airlines. Synchrony also pop up again.
** Both ''Film/{{Thor}}'' and ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' feature various Acura models driven by ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} agents. There were even commercials aired prior to the release of ''Thor'' declaring that Acura was the "Official Car of S.H.I.E.L.D." Thor also has a rather noticeable cameo from a 7-Eleven store, as well as references to Pop-Tarts and [=iPod=]s. Oh, and a Dr. Pepper machine shows up. (''Thor'' also had a deleted scene with Volstagg beating up S.H.I.E.L.D. agents while carrying a Burger King bag)
** In ''Film/AvengersEndgame'':
*** Korg is playing ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' during Bruce Banner and Rocket Raccoon's visit to Thor's house in New Asgard.
*** Tony Stark still uses an [[CallBack Audi]] during his return in the New Avengers Compound.
*** In speaking of Tony Stark, Scott Lang/Ant-Man reveals that he's using Axe Body Spray during the Time Heist in 2012 New York
** ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' has even more Acura plugging, as well as Vimto.
** ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' has a taxicab top advertisement for Synchrony Bank. A similar ad is scene in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''.
* ''Film/MarvinsRoom'':
** During Lee's first visit to the mental hospital to talk to Hank, she eats a small bag of Advertising/MAndMs.
** Hank wears a pair of black Nike sneakers throughout the movie.
* ''Film/TheMatrix'':
** The original Matrix featured Nokia phones. Although the version for the movie was customised to include a slider which would snap open; the one in real life was unfortunately not quite so cool.
** ''Reloaded'' and ''Revolutions'' had a deal with Powerade. In one scene in the latter film, Trinity and Morpheus chase the Trainman through a subway station amidst very large, neon-green Powerade posters. Also, the characters in the movie use Samsung cell phones. (Which were specifically designed for the franchise, and were also sold to the general public.)
* ''Franchise/MenInBlack'':
** ''Film/MenInBlack'':
*** The first film somehow makes for that elusive variety of product placement where it's subtle; the [[CoolShades Ray-Ban sunglasses]] the film's protagonists wear look cool and integrate into the action without appearing to have been clumsily shoehorned in. In the title song from the film's soundtrack, however, they're clunkily name-checked by Creator/WillSmith.
*** The worms' favorite cigarette brand is Marlboro.
** In ''Film/MenInBlackII'', a background alien is seen eating french fries from Burger King. BK was removed in the Creator/VH1 airing of the film, but is still in the TNT and TBS airings.
* The infamous Creator/DinoDeLaurentiis comedy ''Million Dollar My$tery'' was very obviously sponsored by Glad brand storage bags and bin liners. They are seen in virtually every shot of the film, and in fact the poster of the movie shows a giant Glad bin liner stuffed with cash (complete with the logo prominently displayed.) Although to be fair, that was the least of this movie's problems.
* The primary school playground in ''Film/{{Millions}}'' has a Coca-Cola machine on it (which actually isn't allowed in primary schools in the UK).
* The future of ''Film/MinorityReport'' may be a grim one for those accused of crimes they haven't yet committed, but it has plenty of opportunity for The Gap, Burger King, Guinness, American Express, Aquafina, etc. Taken to a creepier level, though, in that the advertisements are used to track the citizens, and record their location, purchasing habits, and ''vital signs'' at any given time.
* ''Film/MissionToMars'' has one character making a model of DNA out of M&Ms, and a can of Dr. Pepper being poured out to find a hole in the spaceship.
* The ''Film/MissionImpossibleFilmSeries'':
** In ''Film/MissionImpossibleGhostProtocol'', the team uses [=iPads=], [=iPhone=] 4s, [=MacBooks=], drive [=BMWs=], deal with Dell servers (complete with otherwise pointless closeup), and drink Dos Equis beer.
** ''Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation'':
*** The military cargo plane in the prologue, rather than having any sort of national markings, has "Airbus [=A400M=]" prominently painted on its side.
*** Benji is seen playing ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'' on an Platform/XboxOne, with the box being shown on screen to make clear which game is being played. (And since the film came out 3 months before the game's launch, either Benji is a pirate or [=MI6=] agents get beta access anytime they like.)
*** Characters use products from Nokia, Dell, and Microsoft and it's quite obvious that all the devices are running Windows 10.
*** Both heroes and villains drive [=BMWs=]. Especially noticeable in the Morocco chase sequence where Ethan and an army of mooks scream down a highway on BMW motorcycles. Characters are also seen using BMW's notoriously finicky [=iDrive=] system.
** ''Film/MissionImpossibleFallout'':
*** The helicopter Ethan is dangling out of in the first released image has a large decal that says "Airbus", the same company which made the A400 that Ethan hung out of in Rogue Nation. (Airbus' people even helped Tom Cruise learn to pilot helicopters.)
*** 95% of all the remaining modes of transportation seen in the movie are branded BMW front and centre.
*** A clever one featuring a Huawei cellphone: when the man assumed to be Lark is found and killed in the nightclub bathroom, his phone is damaged, and Hunt clear flips it over from backside to front in order to show off the Huawei logo. [[spoiler:Later, when August Walker gives a phone to Erika Sloane that he claims is the exact same phone from the nightclub fight, it too is flipped over from backside to front, showing it is undamaged — and more importantly, that there is no Huawei logo.]]
* ''Film/TheMothmanProphecies'' featured a scene, prominently featured in the TV spots and trailers, where the creepy voice on the telephone correctly guessed what the protagonist was holding in his hand: Chap Stick.
* The sibling singers Servando and Florentino Primera's [[NonActorVehicle movie vehicle]], ''Muchacho Solitario''. All right, so maybe it's plot-relevant that one of the main characters works as a truck driver who delivers soda pop, but is the brand of the soda delivered (Golden, another Polar brand) equally relevant? It's so bad, several movie critics and some comedians referred to the film as "The newest Golden commercial featuring Servando and Florentino, ''Muchacho Solitario''."
* In ''Film/MuppetsMostWanted'', Fozzie is seen eating a Subway sandwich with guacamole. Serves as somewhat of a plot point since some guac drops onto a picture of Constantine and covers his mole, and Fozzie begins to suspect that "Kermit" is not who he says he is.
* Aversion: Whoever watches ''Film/MyBigFatGreekWedding'' has one product brand in their brain after leaving the theater: ''Windex''. You might think this was bizarre product placement. You'd be wrong. SC Johnson wasn't even asked to give permission; the writer of the script put the joke in because it was funny. This makes sense if you think about it: no cleaning company is going to make medical claims about their products for fear of dealing with even more government agencies and fines than they usually face.
* ''Film/NationalLampoonsVacation'':
** In ''Film/NationalLampoonsEuropeanVacation'', the end credits montage (which consists of pictures of various "American" things) includes shots of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and Creator/ChristopherReeve as ComicBook/{{Superman}}. The film was distributed by Warner Bros, who also owned those properties. Other non-WB examples in the same montage include a picture of the MTV logo, a screenshot of Wrestlemania (somewhat justified, as the end credits song mentions both MTV and wrestling), and, of course, a cover of National Lampoon magazine.
** In ''[[Film/NationalLampoonsChristmasVacation Christmas Vacation]]'', there's a scene where Clark's sled lands in front of a prominently placed Wal-Mart. Later, Cousin Eddie and Clark are shopping and Eddie picks up several bags of Ol' Roy dog food (an in-house brand at Wal-Mart), which can be clearly seen.
* An in-universe in ''Film/{{Newsfront}}'' -- the Redex reliability trials are so named because their main sponsor is the Redex brand of oil additive. TruthInTelevision, by the way.
* There is an embarrassingly bad example in the international version of ''Film/NightWatch'' (2004) movie where Anton is given a cup of Nescafe. The coffee is well lit in the foreground and takes up the whole screen. Also when a screw drops into another characters coffee cup, that is also Nestle/Nescafe.
* Creator/BillyWilder's ''Film/OneTwoThree'' has plenty of placement for Coca-Cola... but it's entirely justified, since the film is all about a Coke executive in Berlin. The exact same Coke bottling plant in Berlin was in ''Film/GoodbyeLenin'' as well.
* The Red Bull that Margo and Q buy in ''Film/PaperTowns''.
* Virtually every character in ''Film/PatrickStillLives'' is seen drinking from a bottle of J&B whiskey at some point.
* The ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' film adaptation:
** Apple products. Medusa? Defeated by the power of the [=iPod=] touch, logo plainly in view. And they talk to Luke on a Macbook. Come on, at least TRY not to be blatant!
** Apparently even ancient Greek Gods wear Converse.
* ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004'' had a major deal with the [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles Swarovski crystal company]]. Apparently their product placements and tie-ins were so successful they went and [[http://www.swarovski-entertainment.com/ started their own production company]] and are producing the latest ''Romeo and Juliet'' (2013) film.
-->'''The Los Angeles Times''': [...T]he jewelry company['s ...] principals figured that since Swarovski jewelry is often used in films, the company might as well get into film production.
* The 2011 Morgan Spurlock documentary ''Pom Wonderful presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold'' is an case of HeavyMeta taking RefugeInAudacity on the topic of placement. The movie documents the negotiations for product placement... in the very film you are watching, uring 20 other sponsors deemed "The Greatest _______ Ever Sold;" the documentary follows him negotiating with sponsors for Product Placement and exploring the role of marketing on society. Then to promote the movie, he wore a suit with embroidered sponsor logos on talk shows (with the deodorant sponsor at the underarm for $5000) and bought naming rights to Altoona, PA for two months.
* ''Film/PowerRangers2017'' futures Krispy Kreme so heavily it's borderline insulting to the point of making ''Film/ManOfSteel'' look modest. The training montage shows Trini and Kimberly sitting inside fighting over a piece of a donut, [[spoiler:the [[MacGuffin Zeo Crystal]] is buried under it]], Rita mentions it several times during Goldar's rampage before stopping in for a donut herself, and it's name dropped or seen in the background many other times throughout the movie. It's often clammed that a drinking game could be made on how much the establishment is mentioned. On a lesser note, Boston Market is also seen briefly before the building is smashed.
-->'''Rita:''' Krispy Kreme. It is a special place.
* ''Film/APrincesaXuxaEOsTrapalhoes'':
** The movie's animated opening sequence features Galinha Azul, the Brazil-exclusive mascot for soup brand Maggi, entering the Tramps' ship in a rocket and helping them.
** Near the end of the second half of the movie, one of the child slaves liberated by the Tramps manipulates a mechanism in their ship which sproings out a can. Another one picks it up, revealing it's a can of Coca-Cola.
* OlderThanTelevision: Sweet Corporal tobacco in the 1909 short film ''Film/PrincessNicotine'', wherein the hero is smoking Sweet Corporal before falling asleep and having a crazy dream.
* In ''Film/ProjectAlmanac'', they gut an Xbox 360 for parts to the time machine. A later and far more blatant example is during the first test of the machine, everything goes in slow motion and it holds on a can of Red Bull spinning in the air.
* The Venezuelan movie ''Puras Joyitas'' was sponsored by Empresas Polar, the biggest food and drink company in the country. This translates in very blatant product placement, like the very first scene where some security guards are going to a very prominently placed Pepsi machine (Polar haves the license for Pepsi distribution in Venezuela), which is made in a way that many people confused it for a commercial for the drink. And that's the tip of the iceberg: all the beer the characters drink is Polar brand beer (in their different versions), one car has a trunk filled by boxes of food products made by Polar (namely, tuna cans and instant iced tea); and when a pĺot-relevant recipe is displayed, in a corner of the screen was a truly big logo of Harina P.A.N corn flour brand (two guesses of its makers, first one doesn't count.)
* ''Film/RichieRich'' has titular character's [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits newfound group of common friends]] wondering what they will eat for lunch after spending a day with Richie having fun in his estate. Richie's solution is to take them to a restaurant within the mansion behind two giant doors, which is revealed to be a privately owned UsefulNotes/McDonalds.
* The final battle for the title in ''Film/RealSteel'' takes place in the "Bing arena". In addition, advertisements for various things can be seen plastered all over the arena, but considering that robot boxing is a professional sport, the ''lack'' of them would be jarring. The movie also features Dr. Pepper prominently, but that was simply because it was what they had handy on the set.
* The 2012 remake of ''Film/{{Red Dawn|2012}}'' features a scene in which a couple of the film's protagonists [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality rob a Subway restaurant of its ingredients]] in order to make sandwiches at their hidden base in the woods. The scene directly after it is of the characters eating, commenting on how great the sandwiches are.
* The Dr. Phil product placement in ''Film/RedEye'' goes horribly awry. The main character expresses that she thinks the book is boring and later in the movie [[Creator/CillianMurphy the villain]] reads it to her [[spoiler:after she regains consciousness]] in the creepiest tone possible.
* ''Film/ResidentEvilExtinction'' is just filled to the brim with Sony products, with logos prominently onscreen, especially their "Vaio" brand for computers, mostly in the Evil Umbrella Corporation's labs and offices. But not just there; even Alice's little shortwave radio is a Sony (and very definitely not one of their better efforts).
* ''Film/ResidentEvilRetribution'', along with more Sony products, has a real doozy: a shot of Alice and Ada Wong as BackToBackBadasses right underneath a giant, screen-filling billboard advertising Norton Internet Security ("Protecting what matters most").
* ''Franchise/RoboCop'':
** In ''Film/RoboCop1987'', Robo fought crime in a modified 1986 Ford Taurus. Even better: the [[PunnyName 6000 SUX]], driven by the villain and wrecked in one scene, is a BrandX of the Taurus' ''competitor'', the Pontiac 6000.
** In ''Film/RoboCop2'', [=RoboCop=] goes to an arcade that only seems to have games made or licensed by Creator/DataEast. Other arcade games made by Data East included ''[=RoboCop=]'' and ''[=RoboCop=] 2''.
* Bing and Bing Maps are prominently seen on Alba's laptop in ''Film/RoomInRome''.
* Despite the many name-brands appearing in ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', most of them are stylistic choices (for example, Scott drinks Coke [[NumerologicalMotif Zero]], and all of the other brands featured play up the sheer "Canadianess" of the movie). The only paid product placement in the movie is Blackberry smartphones, which, one imagines, not many viewers would notice if it wasn't pointed out to them.
* When ''Single Santa Seeks Mrs Claus'' was brodcast in the UK in November 2013, the ''Daily Telegraph'''s TV listings said "Edited for product placement".
* Film/TheSmurfs coo, "Ooooh, Google," when Patrick Winslow in ''Film/TheSmurfs'' tells them the search engine he's using on his "magic window" to find out things that [[RecursiveCanon humans know about the Smurfs]] and blue moons.
* ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'' is positively rife with placements - a character quickly chugs a can of Red Bull, placing the empty can directly in front of the camera before driving off on his bike with very obvious Kawasaki logo in the first few scenes; several characters are shown with high tech objects like laptops including a screen-filling apple logo), [[Platform/PlayStationPortable PSPs]] and Platform/{{Nintendo DS}}es; and the movie climaxes in a scene in which the plots resolution is directly linked to one character's gaming past.
-->'''Air Marshal Flynn:''' All praises to the Platform/PlayStation!
* In ''Film/SnowDay'', there's a scene where the kids are playing a ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' video game. Coincidentally enough, the movie just happened to be produced by Nickelodeon. Also, at one point in the movie, a kid puts ice into a Puma shoe and the main character tries to prove he knows a lot about his love interest by saying he knows her favorite gum is Watermelon Bubblicious. The Snowplow Man also drives his truck into a Plymouth truck and the Pepsi logo can be seen in a diner at one point.
* ''Film/{{Something New|1920}}'': A silent film that was entirely dedicated to promoting Maxwell automobiles. Apparently Maxwell approached director Nell Shipman about making a ten-minute short commercial for their cars. Instead she made a 60-minute feature in which the hero drives a Maxwell across broken, rugged Mexican desert terrain to rescue the heroine from banditos.
* ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'':
** Tom's truck is a Toyota Tacoma. [[DestroyTheProductPlacement It gets harpooned through the back windshield and seat to the dashboard]] and [[InstantConvertible the entire top gets sliced off by a drone's laser cutter]], but hey, it still drives![[note]]May we also mention that the Tacoma is the North American successor of the [[Series/TopGearUK infamously indestructible Toyota Hilux]]?[[/note]] A brief shot of the front of the truck before he and Sonic enter the bar has the Toyota emblem briefly visible, though slightly obscured due to the night sky.
** {{Averted|Trope}} with Olive Garden. Despite its' slogan being recited twice in the movie, with the second time being when [[spoiler:the government offers the Wachowskis a ComicallySmallBribe of a fifty-dollar Olive Garden gift card to keep quiet about Robotnik]]. Writer Patrick Casey stated in an [=AMA=] that it was included as a joke, and that the studio wasn't paid for it.
** Maddie offhandedly mentions that she was using Zillow to look up a place to live in San Francisco, and this is accompanied by the camera lingering on her laptop, displaying Zillow's site, for a few seconds. However, it comes with a punchline of an apartment running for the bargain price of ''$4,300 a month''. Welcome to the Bay Area!
** A subtle one at the bar scene: while there are plenty of beer brands visible, one that stands out is a Busch beer sign, which takes up a good part of the upper screen at one point. A FreezeFrameBonus during Sonic's BulletTime sequence also shows him passing through said sign.
* In ''Film/SourceCode'', a mobile phone displays a search engine page prominently showing the Bing logo.
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':
** In the first ''Film/SpiderMan1'' movie, Peter Parker uses his newfound web-slinging powers to grab a can of Dr. Pepper off the dresser. In the [[Film/SpiderMan2 second film]], when he's working at the pizza shop a Dr. Pepper soda fridge can be seen in the background.
** ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' has a lot of appearances from Creator/{{Sony}} products, as well as a rather infamous scene where Peter uses Bing.
** ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' really pushes the shilling for Sony to its limits, to the extent that almost every piece of technology in Peter's bedroom is a Sony product. Even the long-abandoned subway lab used by Richard Parker conveniently has a Sony computer. However, it was all for nothing, as by the time the visual effects were completed, Sony had shut down their entire computer division.
* ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy'' has been called a giant Creator/HboMax commercial given how many Warner Bros. properties it showcases. Other brands also appear, such as the impact crater of an animated Usefulnotes/LeBronJames being the Nike logo.
* The [[WackyRacing Mega Race]] sequence from ''Film/SpyKids3DGameOver'' features AMD billboards.
** The first movie had a "emergency lunchbox" that had a ready-to-eat UsefulNotes/McDonalds Big Mac meal.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek''
** The quality of the SightGag more than justifies this in ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'' when Scotty, [=McCoy=], and Sulu wonder aloud where they're going to find all the things they need while in San Fransisco circa 1986. They say this while standing in front of a wall painted with "Can't Find It? Try Pacific Bell Yellow Pages"... and then notice it, and contemplate.
** ''Film/StarTrek2009'' has kid Kirk on an in-car comm with a prominent Nokia logo on the startup screen. Later in the movie, Uhura's drink order includes Budweiser classics and a shot of Jack Daniel's.
* ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' has AT&T as the provider for Federation video calls.
* Creator/JoanCrawford, after her marriage to Pepsi magnate Alfred Steele, began insisting on Pepsi product placement in her films starting with 1957's ''The Story of Esther Costello''.
* ''Film/StillAlice'' prominently features Pinkberry, the AT&T iPhone 6, and Words with Friends-- all of which have at least some role in helping Alice manage her [[spoiler: Alzheimer's]].
* In ''Film/StirOfEchoes'', one of the side effects of a vengeful spirit's haunting is making the main character thirsty, so he's frequently seen guzzling down Minute Maid orange juice. At one point he fills his refrigerator completely full of Minute Maid cartons.
* ''Film/{{Stormbreaker}}'' features a Nintendo DS as one of the spy protagonist's main gadgets, giving it a great deal of screen time, though the placement is truly hammered home in a scene in which Stephen Fry's character introduces the console to our hero, alongside the game ''VideoGame/MarioKartDS''. The accompanying game's case is also held up to the camera for a generously long amount of time.
* Unavoidable in ''Film/StrokerAce'' due to sponsorship and advertising being important in [=NASCAR=]. Scenes taking place at racetracks are covered in banners, and pit crews have to wear their sponsors' logos just like the cars. One product that gets a direct mention is Kentucky Fried Chicken, which is specifically stated to be a ''rival'' to Torkle's Chicken Pit franchise.
** The Brazilian movie ''Film/SuperXuxaContraBaixoAstral'' features plugs of several local and foreign brands, with Coca-Cola being the most frequent of it all.
* ''Film/Supergirl1984'' has one of its biggest action set pieces take place in and around a Popeyes Fried Chicken franchise. Popeyes is even prominent in the background of some of the most memorable stills from the movie of Helen Slater as ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}.
* ''Film/SupermanII'' has several, the most memorable probably being when Superman flings one of his fellow Kryptonians through a giant electronic Coca-Cola billboard. Given that the movie's Metropolis is a blatant [[CaptainErsatz stand-in]] for [[BigApplesauce New York City]], and the fight takes place in the equivalent of Times Square, it's not too overly egregious or inappropriate... although the huge Marlboro logo painted on the side of a truck is pushing it.
* ''Sweeney 2'': Just like the TV series, the Ford Granada is prominent, it also features the then new released second generation (Granada [=MK2=]) as Jack's driver new car and two villains drives the Cortina [=MK4=] and the estate version of Granada [=MK2=], the latter featuring the rare launch hubcaps.
* ''Film/{{Swordfish}}'' has one, when the hero is supposed to be broke and living in a grungy trailer, but instead of cheap generic or domestic beer has a bottle of Heineken prominently displayed.
* ''Film/TalladegaNightsTheBalladOfRickyBobby'':
** Justified since it's about UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}}, where cars are obviously plastered in ads. The three that get most attention are Wonder Bread (sponsoring Ricky Bobby's #26), Old Spice (sponsoring Cal Naughton, Jr.'s #47), and Perrier (sponsoring Jean Girard's #55). It's taken to ridiculous heights to lampoon the whole practice (while still indulging in it); in one scene, Ricky Bobby's car has a giant, vision-obstructing Fig Newtons decal on its windshield ("This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I ''do'' love Fig Newtons").
** Contractual obligations say that Ricky Bobby must promote one company's products, even in his family's mealtime prayers.
** Ricky taking the family out to Applebee's, which is played as a joke about how white trash the Bobbys are.
** Dinner at home features every fast food franchise the road has to offer.
** When Ricky and Girard crash on the last lap of the Talladega race, the Creator/{{NBC}} coverage cuts to an Applebee's commercial in the midst of their wreck. [[OverlyLongGag The two cars are still flipping and crashing down the straightaway when they return]]. This particular scene was a TakeThat to NBC's NASCAR coverage, which was frequently criticized by viewers for frequent commercial breaks that frequently missed restarts from caution flags, and large portions of lengthy green flag runs, to the point that some called it "[[FunWithAcronyms Nothing But Commercials]]".
** After the movie aired, Perrier stayed out of NASCAR. In addition to sponsorship work in the NHRA, Wonderbread sponsored a few cars on occasion, notably on Kurt Busch's #78 Furniture Row car at Talladega in 2013, while Old Spice sponsored Tony Stewart for a few seasons in the Xfinity Series and the Cup Series.
* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'':
** Domino's Pizza boxes can be seen all over the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 first film]]. This is very deliberate (and is also a nod to the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 1987 animated series]] of the turtles's [[TrademarkFavoriteFood love for pizza]]). To really drive this home, in one VHS release, the movie is preceded by a Pizza Hut ad.
** In the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze sequel]], the on-the-run scientist teams up with the subway-hiding Turtles to brew up some hideous looking chemical gunk to make some evil monsters go away. In a [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Bart Simpson]] glass held very close to the camera. Thus conveying the message that [[SpaceWhaleAesop Bart Simpson will change your genetic structure]].
* ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'':
** In ''Film/TheTerminator'', there's a hard-to-miss shot of the Nike swoosh when Kyle steals a pair. (when ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' returned to that scene, the costume designer went a long way [[http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Time-Terminator-Franchise-Nike-Almost-Went-War-Over-Shoe-68554.html to get the same shoes]]) The Honda Elite scooter that Sarah rides had only recently been introduced, and we see a few loving shots of it in early scenes.
** Characters in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' can barely turn around without bumping into a Pepsi-drinker or a Pepsi vending machine.
** One would have learned by now that just because it's after the apocalypse, it doesn't meant there can't be product placement. In ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'', a bunch of survivors hide in an old burned-down 7 Eleven, for one. One line in an article at Product Placement biz.com reads "ABB Robots will be shown in the film as robot manufacturers". To quote C-3PO, "machines making machines? How perverse!" John Connor listens to his mother's tapes on an old Sony tape recorder and the resistance drives Jeeps. Partially subverted in that the filmmakers worked with Ducati to develop the moto-Terminators, but they do not display any Ducati insignia.
*** There's also the close up of John's Oakley SI Assault Boots, John's Oakley Assault Pack, the Alpha Industries B3 Bomber Jacket(its visually distinct compared to all other Bomber Jackets you can buy) that He wears, and the Sony VAIO [=UX490=] Microcomputer that he uses to hack into a lot of things. For gun fans, there's also the highly recognizable firearms that the Resistance uses, especially John's H&K 416, which was one of the first films to showcase the carbine, which was new at the time; as well as the H&K Mark 23 Pistol that he also used.
* In ''Film/ThinkLikeAMan'', anyone who could conceivably be wearing Nike shoes or apparel is. There are also many gratuitous basketball running-on-a-treadmill scenes towards this end.
* In ''Film/TheThomasCrownAffair1999'', Rene Russo practically chugs a Pepsi One with the label pointed directly at the camera.
* The second ''Film/LaraCroftTombRaiderTheCradleOfLife'', featured the new 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Jeep produced limited-run "Tomb Raider models" available in the colour it appeared in in the movie.
* The ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' was plagued by this, as Michael Bay apparently even set a RECORD for most product placement in a film with no fewer than 47 brands in the film! And that's ''before'' even getting into the [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} blatantly obvious one]], too:
** ''Film/{{Transformers|2007}}'':
*** Every Autobot's altmode was a make of car owned by General Motors, except Optimus Prime, who was an (unbranded) Peterbilt Model 379 long-frame semi tractor; GM doesn't make an appropriate vehicle anymore, probably wasn't keen on reaching back to TheEighties for a GMC General, and no fan would accept Optimus Prime as an H2.
*** An Platform/Xbox360 that makes the 360 booting sound before transforming.
*** The Mountain Dew vending machine, dubbed Dispensor by the Internet, which attacks people.
*** The Nokia cell phone
*** When Ironhide gets his alt mode, the camera actually zooms on the GM logo appearing on his front grill. He might as well be a walking GM ad. Not only is the GMC logo prominently dead center in all his driving scenes, but he's got the logo (split in half) on his shoulders in robot mode.
*** Conversely, none of the Decepticon altmodes were General Motors makes. Barricade, for instance, was a (heavily customized) Ford Mustang. Most of the Decepticons are military vehicles, which helps.
*** The slow, dramatic zoom-in on... a Panasonic sd-card. Maggie even holds it with tweezers so that her fingers don't block the name, while turning it gently in the light to make sure we don't miss its holographic reflective label while having ''plenty'' of time to read it.
*** The President asks an Air Force One flight attendant to "rustle [him] up some Ding-Dongs". Before she delivers them to him, however, she takes a moment to sneak one for herself and eat it on camera.
** ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'':
*** There's a poster for ''Film/{{Cloverfield}}'', also distributed by Paramount.
*** One can't help but notice there is more than one scene in this movie where the Autobots just sit silently in their alt-modes and not take part in the humans' conversations, and yet they're still in clear view so that we get a good look at the cars.
** ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'':
*** Due to GM's financial woes, they were able to actually licence some non-GM vehicles for use by both the Autobots and Decepticons -- Wheeljack and Soundwave are both Mercedes, while Mirage is a Ferrari. None of them seemed particularly forced upon the audience; in fact, Mirage's logo was never even visible. There is a brief plug for Soundwave's SLS AMG alt mode, but it's mostly Sam talking about how improbably expensive it is, and it doesn't change the fact that the one who transforms into it is portrayed as unambiguously evil, and is blown up by film's end.
*** It also had Sentinel Prime's Rosenbauer Panther Fire truck form. It's officially licensed with a "Rosenbauer fire fighting technology" seal on even the Sentinel prime figures.
*** Megatron is a Mack Truck, You don't see the logo clearly, but the toy has it right on the front and has the Mack seal on the package.
*** In an AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents moment, Sam's mom suggests he read ''She Comes First'', a book on giving a woman oral sex, which is an [[http://www.amazon.com/She-Comes-First-Thinking-Pleasuring/dp/0060538260/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427080244&sr=8-1 actual book.]]
** ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'':
*** When Joshua demonstrates his shapeshifting metal to the rest of the cast, he asks if anyone likes music, transforms it into a Beats by Dre speaker, and with it in full shot, announces "The 'Pill'", holding it there for several seconds longer than necessary.
*** A nerdy scientist transforms the material into a figure of [[Franchise/MyLittlePony Rainbow Dash]].
*** Enormous posters are visible during the fight scene at the end of the movie, including a giant poster of a Vogue magazine cover.
*** At one point, a truck of Bud Light gets blown up. Much attention is paid to the cool blue bottles against the yellow fire. Then Mark Wahlburg picks one up and drinks one while yelling at a bystander.
* The ''Transporter'' series. In the [[Film/TheTransporter first film]], Frank uses a BMW, though in the [[Film/{{Transporter 2}} sequel]] and the [[Film/{{Transporter 3}} third film]], he has since switched to Audis. The second film's most notable moment comes when a bomb is placed on the undercarriage of Frank's car, and Frank jumps the car off a roof, snags the bomb on a construction crane, and lands the car as the bomb goes off in the background. The Audi is unscathed.
* ''Film/TropicThunder'' has a movie agent playing ''VideoGame/WiiSports'' one-handed throughout a rather long phone call. And [=TiVo=] figures heavily into the resolution of the climax.
* In the 1996 film ''Film/{{Twister}}'', the main characters pilot a red Dodge Ram pickup truck which carries them safely through obstacles that destroy lesser vehicles. The truck meets its end bravely marching through a cornfield into a giant tornado (yes, seriously) to deploy a tornado-measuring MacGuffin named DOROTHY.
* ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'':
** It was notorious not only for using Product Placement, but also for having several prominent products fail [[http://everything2.com/title/Product+%20placement+%20in+%202001%253A+%20A+%20Space+%20Odyssey by the time 2001 rolled around]].
** The ContestedSequel ''[[Film/TwoThousandTenTheYearWeMakeContact 2010]]'' features an Apple //c computer and a copy of ''OMNI'' magazine, which went out of print in 1995.
* When the G8 leaders meet in ''[[Film/TwoThousandTwelve 2012]]'', their laptops are all identical Sony Vaios. This creates a rather jarring effect, perhaps enhanced by the fact that the leaders are mostly interchangeable anyway.
* ''Film/{{Unbreakable}}'' has an unmissable one as young Joseph, slowly and deliberately, reaches for a carton of Tropicana, unscrews the lid and pours himself a glass, the carton in the foreground of the entire shot.
* An exception to Apple dominance is Dell, as the logo on its laptop lids and monitors not only is distinctive, but also stretches across the entire width of the product (especially prevalent are laptops by Alienware -- which is part of Dell). This led to a glaring anomaly in the film ''Film/VForVendetta''; in an early scene Lewis Prothero, "The Voice of London", is seen delivering a political commentary which describes the United States as being a state in crisis, suffering from civil war, widespread famine and verging on if not actually in economic collapse. And then we see every computer monitor bearing the familiar "Dell" logo (Dell being an American company... although they ''could'' have come from the "former United States", or Dell UK, or one of Dell's factories in Malaysia).
* ''Film/UpInTheAir'' received some criticism for American Airlines and Hilton's disproportionate screen time. That didn't stop it from winning a Golden Globe, though.
* The TimeTravel comedy film series ''Film/LesVisiteurs'':
** The first film had some obvious ones (Pizza Hut, Juvamine, Ranger Rover, Polaroid).
** ''The Corridors of Time'' is absolutely littered with product placement for Intermarché, KFC, several Nestlé products, Pizza Hut again, [=FedEx=], Lustucru...
** For ''Bastille Day'', being set for the most part in 1793, the trope is ''mostly'' averted... save for a can of Franck Provost hairspray Jacquouille brought with him from the 20th century in his coat. Which is AnachronismStew, since both protagonists departed in time in 1993, while the Franck Provost brand didn't exist until the 2000s.
* ''Film/{{Warrior}}'' was obviously sponsored by the Tapout clothing brand, which is a big UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts sponsor in real life. The brand is mentioned a number of times for sponsoring the film's MMA tournament, and the two surviving founders have cameos. The film is dedicated to the memory of the third founder.
* In the movie ''Film/WildHogs'', every beer, even in the biker bar, is a Michelob.
* ''Film/TheWizard'' is another feature-length advert, this time for Nintendo. You can understand the kids talking about Nintendo's games all the time, but middle-aged white-collar workers? Really?
* ''Film/WorldWarZ'' has the Iridium phones, and a fairly painful example during the climax of the film in which Brad Pitt takes a well-deserved break while drinking a Pepsi.
* There's an odd case in ''Film/TheXFilesFightTheFuture''. Mulder has gone out into the alley behind a bar to relieve himself and ends up sprinkling a poster on the wall for ''Film/IndependenceDay'', -- arguably ''The X-Files'' main competition. Strangely enough, Fox released both films.
** ''Film/IndependenceDay'' even references ''The X-Files'' in dialogue, making this a cyclical reference.
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': Wolverine searches for beer in the mansion. After learning there is none, he settles on a Dr. Pepper. Later at Bobby's house, he raids the fridge for beer. Several bottles of Dr. Pepper can be seen inside the fridge.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': While training at Xavier's mansion, most of the team wear PF Flyers.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'':
*** ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} is shown to be a fan of Hostess Twinkies and Ding-Dongs. In real life, Hostess actually released a line of ''Days of Future Past''-themed Twinkies to promote the movie.
*** A drink order is called, specifically for a bottle of Johnnie Walker (which blend exactly is yet unclear). Also, it would appear that all other bottles of whiskey in the film are likewise Johnnie Walker, of which quite a lot is drunk, especially by Charles Xavier.
*** During the scene where Magneto lifts up RFK Stadium, ads for Mountain Dew, Adidas, and various other brands can be seen.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'':
*** Scott Summers' sunglasses are Ray-Bans.
*** Ororo Munroe drinks Coca-Cola.
*** In the deleted mall scene, Kurt, Scott, Jean and Jubilee slurp Slush Puppies, and Nightcrawler gapes at a display of sneakers inside a Payless [=ShoeSource=] store.
** ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'': A gag between Wade and Blind Al centers around them arguing about Ikea furniture, including name-dropping (badly) the names of several ''actual'' Ikea products.
** ''Film/{{Logan}}'':
*** Comicbook/{{X 23}} prominently munches on a tube of Pringles potato chips, and shoplifts a pair of Toys/{{Shopkins}} sunglasses in the opening of the second trailer. She can be seen wearing the sunglasses in several scenes from both trailers.
*** Logan drives a [[CoolCar Cadillac]] limousine.
* ''Film/YesMan'' has the main character Carl order a Temperpedic mattress and do the wine test vigorously on it, order a Rolling Rock beer, speed by a UPS truck, and rent the movies ''Film/ThreeHundred'' and ''Film/{{Transformers|2007}}'' from Blockbuster. He also rambles for a bit about how much he likes Red Bull now that he's had his first one, and several characters discuss the advantages of a Costco membership card.
* The romantic comedy ''Film/YouveGotMail'' takes its title from the (in)famous America Online sound bite. AOL mail is used prominently in the film itself. This despite being more based on an older film, ''Film/TheShopAroundTheCorner'', which received a ShoutOut as the name of one of the shops in the film. What is really interesting here is that two years after the film's release, the parent company of producer Creator/WarnerBros, Time Warner, merged with AOL.
* ''Film/{{Zookeeper|2011}}'' has product placement for TGI Fridays in the trailer no less. In which a gorilla (voiced by Nick Nolte), says "Is TGI Fridays as good as everyone says it is?" The original version has a scene where a secondary character trying to seduce Svetlana quotes a Nescafe ad.
* ''Film/{{Garfield}}''
** Several logos appear, including Pepsi, Ace Hardware, and Petco.
** At one point in the film Garfield mentions Chuck E. Cheese's and Olive Garden.
** When Garfield is trying to get John's attention to Odie on TV the show he is on breaks to a commercial for Wendy's.
* The main characters in ''Film/WhatWomenWant'' work at an advertising agency and spend much of the film working on an ad for Nike. Near the end of the movie, the completed ad is shown in full to the Nike execs who ordered it... and to the film's audience.
* In ''Film/ZombieLand'', there is a subplot where Tallahassee is looking for Twinkies, but since its a zombie apocalypse, he is finding it very hard to do. Joked with a bit as at one point he and Columbus happen to find a crashed Hostess truck much to Tallahassee's delight, but inside is [[spoiler:nothing but Snowballs, which he hates]].
[[/folder]]
----
[[folder: Parodies (''Bumblebee™''):]]
* ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'' features the group finding a Wal-Mart ''in the middle of a desert,'' right when they're about to collapse from lack of water and food. Not only is the unlikeliness of this scenario constantly lampshaded, the rest of the scene goes on to parody the concept.
-->'''Bugs:''' Is it a mirage? Or just product placement?
-->'''Daffy:''' Hey, who cares, with shopping convenience at such low prices?! Water! Fresca! Mountain Dew! Your product name here!
-->'''Bugs:''' Nice of Wal-Mart to provide these Wal-Mart beverages in return for us saying "Wal-Mart" so many times.
* ''Film/TheTrumanShow''
** Besides every single inanimate object in the world being a real brand, Truman's wife is constantly hocking merchandise. (This is how the ShowWithinAShow pays for itself, since it runs without commercial interruptions.) It takes a dark turn near the end, as she does it at the wrong moment -- Truman, who's beginning to work out the truth, asks, "Who are you ''talking'' to?" while looking around incredulously.
** There are two guys whose entire job on ''The Truman Show'' is to stop Truman at a place, frame him properly for a camera to include a shot of a certain poster for a few seconds, then let him go. Other product-based oddities abound in the world as well.
* Inverted in ''Film/{{Flight}}'', in which Budweiser tried to get the labels on the cans of beer drunk by the (realistically, not comically) alcoholic protagonist blurred out due to not wanting to be associated with addiction.
* Spoofed brilliantly in the movie ''Film/WaynesWorld'', as Wayne and Garth rant about not selling out and staying true to themselves, [[HypocriticalHumor while showing off]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjB6r-HDDI0 various products]].
-->'''Benjamin:''' Look, you can stay here in the big leagues and play by the rules, or you can go back to the farm club in Aurora. It's your choice.\\
'''Wayne:''' Yes. (''holds up a Pepsi'') And it's the choice of a new generation. (''drinks the Pepsi'')
* In ''Film/ReturnOfTheKillerTomatoes'', breaking the FourthWall, the director appears to informs the characters that there isn't enough money to finish the film. He blames the (relentlessly) generic products that have been shown throughout the movie to that point. After that, logos appear on various objects and all dialog is loaded with ever-more-blatant product pitches, only ending when a character breaks down mid-spiel and asks "do we have enough money to finish this turkey yet?" The director stops partying with hookers long enough to give the go-ahead.
* ''Film/KungPowEnterTheFist'':
** "Taco Bell, Taco Bell, ProductPlacement for Taco Bell..."
** More subtly (which is an odd word to apply to this movie) in that scene a nearby roof has the bottom half of a Hooters logo visible.
** Na-na-na, na, na...Neo...Na-na-na, na, na...sporin!
** "Let me know if you see a Radio Shack."
** There are also Pringles on the [[OneSceneWonder nut vendor's]] shelves.
* A series of "Turn off your damn mobile phone" trailers in the United Kingdom from the Orange Film Funding Board showed various celebrities pitching ideas to the board. It then showed a panel of [[ExecutiveMeddling execs, mangling]] whatever idea they are given to include mobile phone product placement, ending with the line "Don't let a mobile ruin your movie". Ironically, Orange actually went on to fund one of the joke stories because they liked the idea, hence all the mobile usage in ''Film/ACinderellaStory''.
* Probably the best of these so far was a high-budget example, where Creator/StevenSeagal approaches the golfing execs with an idea for a romcom, and the execs retort that he only knows how to do action. Seagal chases after the chief exec insisting it can be done, but the irony is that he's chasing him in a very action-movie fashion, only transposed to a golf course (beating up minions, a car chase in golf carts). There's the obligatory phone bit, but it ends with Seagal blowing up the exec's helicopter just after he dismisses the idea for the last time.
* Creator/MelBrooks' ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'':
** ProductPlacement is merged with the Hollywood Merchandising Machine to create a brilliant parody: ''All'' the products featured bear the movie's logo. ''Spaceballs'' The Doll. ''Spaceballs'' The Bedsheet. ''Spaceballs'' The Breakfast Cereal. ''Spaceballs'' The Flame Thrower... and so forth. Perhaps ironically, ''Spaceballs'' The Lunchbox is just a ''[[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Transformers]]'' lunchbox with a ''Spaceballs'' logo taped on it.
** The tie-ins are clearly intended as a jab at the extensive merchandising around the ''Franchise/StarWars'' license. It was revealed in a 20th anniversary magazine that Creator/MelBrooks actually had Creator/GeorgeLucas' blessing to parody ''Franchise/StarWars'' (which explains why Brooks was never sued by Lucasfilm) -- on the one condition that there be absolutely ''zero'' merchandising of the film. Therefore, the ridiculous product placement of (non-available) ''Spaceballs'' merchandise was intended to tweak Lucas' nose over this.
** "What's the matter with this thing? What's all that churning and bubbling? You call that a radar screen?" "No, sir. We call it, 'Mr. Coffee'."
* Captain Amazing, from ''Film/MysteryMen'', is a commercially-sponsored hero, his entire costume covered in advertising logos.
* Sam Jacobs from ''Film/TheAngryRedPlanet'' is seen reading ‘Super Fantastic Science Fiction Stories,’ a fictional magazine possibly based on American pulp science fiction magazine Super Science Stories published by published by Popular Publication from 1940 to 1943 and again from 1949 to 1951.
* It was noted that there was a tremendous amount of product placement in the Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger film ''Film/TotalRecall1990'', especially in the middle of the city square. It makes fun of this a bit when the main character is on Mars, and a "USA Today" newspaper vending machine appears, only the label says "Mars Today" and is in red instead of USA Today's blue.
* In ''Film/LastActionHero'', at one point the car crashes through a semi-truck clearly labeled "Coca-Cola", which is driving out of what appears to be a bottling plant. The in-universe Arnold Schwarzenegger also plugs his club "Planet Hollywood" in front of reporters. His wife then gets angry at him for shilling, which she apparently does in real life too.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfRockyAndBullwinkle'' (TheFilmOfTheSeries) mocks this trope, except when making sure the audience knows that the characters use Hewlett-Packard computers.
* In ''Film/DesperatelySeekingSusan'' Creator/RosannaArquette takes a drag from a cigarette, and then starts coughing. The cigarette company that paid for the placement demanded their money back.
* One of Wayne Knight's lines in the movie ''Film/SpaceJam'' contains SIX product placements, all for items that lead character UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan has appeared in commercials for, so it doubles as ActorAllusion:
-->"Get your '''Hanes''' on, lace up your '''Nikes''', grab your '''Wheaties''' and your '''Gatorade''', and we'll pick up a '''Big Mac''' on the way to the '''Ball park'''!"
* One of the many subplots in ''Film/StateAndMain'' involves a director initially rejecting, then trying to figure out how to work in product placement for a website... in an 1800s period piece.
* ''Film/{{Idiocracy}}'':
** It's unique in that it absolutely savages the brands that get placed. For example, Carl's Jr. will take your kids away if you can't pay for your meal (and pays one of the department secretaries every time he mentions them; seriously, he ends most of his sentences with "brought to you by Carl's Jr."), Fuddrucker's restaurant steadily devolves into Buttfucker's, Costco has bloated into a city-sized blight on the landscape with its own transit system, and Starbucks (and others) now offers hookers -- family style. Supposedly, Gatorade was going to be the sports drink that had completely replaced water, causing all the crops to die, but they pulled out after they saw how their product was going to be treated, so BrandX product Brawndo was used in its place.
** And their BrandX product became [[http://www.brawndo.com/ a real one]] some time ago, complete with ads with ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome awesome]]'' voiceovers.
** The hero still managed to describe the Brawndo in the fountains as "some kind of Gatorade" at least once.
** It seems crazy that [[spoiler:The court has advertising banners everywhere, and so do the government offices. The House of Representin' prefers Uhmerican Xxxpress.]], given the infamous appearance of blatant advertising in some privatized schools and prisons in RealLife, it's not so unrealistic after all.
** People's ''names'' have ProductPlacement in them, case in point, US President Camacho's full name is Dwayne Elizondo ''Mountain Dew'' Herbert Camacho.
* ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats'' gleefully used hyperbole to show how absurd product placement can become. Examples include an advert for Evian mineral water on an underwater wall in an aquarium, and a giant UsefulNotes/McDonalds 'M' on the World Trade Center. Plus ads on the wall of a hotel SHOWER. (Creepy). The plot itself featured the titular girlband (unwittingly) playing [[SubliminalSeduction subliminal adverts]] in their music as part of the villains scheme to brainwash teenagers into buying more stuff.
* In the 1982 film adaptation of ''{{Film/Annie|1982}}'', Daddy Warbucks goes on the radio to promote his search for Annie's missing parents. Unknowing to him, his message has an advertisement put into it by the studio. He reads it without thinking about it, catches on, and ''snaps.''
--> '''''[[LampshadeHanging "DID I JUST DO A COMMERCIAL?!?"]]'''''
* In the 2014 film adaptation of ''{{Film/Annie|2014}}'', Stacks' phones are featured in the movie he takes Annie to, ''[=MoonQuake=] Lake''. GenreSavvy Grace points out that product placement is helping keep Hollywood afloat.
* At the end of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', Peter Quill is dazzled by a Microsoft Zune that he gets as a gift from Kraglin after his [[IconicItem Walkman]] is destroyed. The movie came out in 2017--five years after the Zune was discontinued, and when most people remembered it as Microsoft's failed attempt at competing with Apple's iPod. But since Quill [[FishOutOfTemporalWater hasn't set foot on Earth in 30 years]], the device is the first [=MP3=] player that he's ever seen, and he assumes that it's a hot new gadget back on his home planet.
** Somewhat zig-zagged for the release of [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 Vol. 3]] in 2023, a full decade after being retired, Microsoft revived the brand, along with the Zune.net website for a tie-in which promoted their efforts in [=STEM=] education since they no longer had a product to sell[[note]]The Zune music service continued on for several years after the players were dicontinued, first rebranded as Xbox Music and later Groove, before finally shutting down in 2017 due to competition from Spotify and Apple[[/note]]
* ''Film/{{Help}}'': John is seen reading his own book ''A Spaniard In The Works'' in his house. PlayedForLaughs, since the obvious implication is that he's a narcissist.
* ''Film/AChristmasStory'': Ralphie is enraged to realize that the "secret message" from the ''Little Orphan Annie'' radio broadcast is "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."
* ''Film/FreeGuy'': One of the things that become visible when Guy dons his sunglasses is a floating bottle of Aviation Gin, accompanied by the caption "[[LampshadeHanging SUBTLE PRODUCT PLACEMENT]]".
* ''Film/ShredderOrpheus'' has boxes of Shredded Wheat get stolen in a mid-movie scene, with Scratch being happy they have real carbohydrates. According to the filmmakers, the cereal was supplied instead of money and inserted into the movie, doubling as a cheeky pun on the title of the film.
* In the Brazilian movie ''Casseta & Planeta: A Taça do Mundo é Nossa'', set after the 1970 Usefulnotes/FifaWorldCup title, has two anachronic cases: an airplane flies over UsefulNotes/TheAmazonRainforest with a banner promoting Axe Body Spray (although it's then followed by a plane with an ad by the group's fake MegaCorp - "Will deforest? Use Tabajara chainsaws!"), and another lampshaded during the "press conference" that comprises the movie's ending:
-->'''Reporter''': There's a blooper here! In the scene where they meet a drunk guy, a modern car drives by, one that didn't exist back then.\\
'''Hubert''': You're right, back then there wasn't a car as modern as the Polo Sedan, but Volkswagen's merchandising already existed!
* In ''Film/BulletTrain'', a bottle of Fuji water tends to pop up at certain key moments, where it is always prominently positioned and its label clearly visible. [[spoiler: The climax takes this all the way up to eleven when it shows up ''again'' in one of the final battles... at which point the film stops, introduces it with it's own title card, and provides a compressed montage of how it arrived at that point from it's perspective as if it were one of the main characters.]]
