History ProductPlacement / LiveActionFilms

* ''Film/SixUnderground''; All over the [[JustForPun 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/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. The choice of Chap Stick could work as examples of ProductPlacement, Narm ''and'' NightmareRetardant.

** Apparently even ancient Greek Gods wear [[Film/IRobot Converse, vintage 2010]].

* There's an odd case in ''Film/TheXFilesFightTheFuture''. [[TakeThat/{{Film}} 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/{{Zookeeper}}'' has product placement for TGI Fridays in the trailer no less. And it's done by a gorilla (voiced by Nick Nolte)!
-->'''Gorilla:''' 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.
** In fact the movie is choke full of product placement, but most of it, fortunately, stays unnoticed by foreign audience. Some Russian viewers are disgusted. The majority take it humorously. Some claim the sheer amount is director's RefugeInAudacity, deliberate and successful SoBadItsGood.
* Several logos appear in the live-action film adaptation of ''Film/{{Garfield}}'' including Pepsi, Ace Hardware, and Petco.

* Captain Amazing, from ''Film/MysteryMen'', is a commercially-sponsored hero, his entire costume covered in advertising logos. (This was in 1999, eight years before the Fantastic Four gag above.)

* In all of Creator/QuentinTarantino's movies where a character smokes, they'll smoke Red Apple brand cigarettes. Being a fictional brand, it sure pops up a lot. Same is true with the [[http://www.bigkahunaburger.com/ Big Kahuna Burger]] Chain (though the latter is tempered by how one of the most famous scenes in his oeuvre is a discussion of UsefulNotes/McDonalds). He does feature real cereal brands, like "[[Advertising/MonsterCereals Fruit Brute]]" and "Kaboom". Both haven't been produced since the 70s, though Fruit Brute had a quick one-year revival in 2013 under a different recipe.
* Hilariously averted, to the point of parody, in ''Film/RepoMan''. Not only are no products placed, but every commercial product seen has an ultra-generic label, from the can of "Food" Otto eats from in his parents' house to the "Beer" he pours on the floor of the repossession office, to every labeled item on the shelves of the grocery and liquor stores. The only brand names explicitly used in the entire movie are (unavoidably) those of cars slated for repossession, and the vehicles in question look like such crap, it's more a TakeThat than a product promotion. Lampshaded when another character offers to buy Otto a drink, and the very next shot shows them purchasing a six-pack of "Drink". There are also the Christmas tree air fresheners, but those are used less as product placement and more as part of the surreal reality of the film - they're in ''every'' car in the movie, and the characters notice this.

-->'''Ralphie''': Son of a ''bitch''!

*** It also has blatant appearances of Virgin Airlines and Vaio Computers. And Richard Branson.

* 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 TheAmazon 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:

** Eleven different Creator/{{Toho}} movies from the Showa Era between 1960 and 1978 have advertisements for the Japanese soda brand Bireley's, which could be anything from a split second shot of a Bireley's bottle on a shelf amongst other bottles, to a huge billboard that King Kong or Mothra stomps ''behind''. 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'' included several strategically placed Dr Peppers in the newly edited scenes, 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.

* Spanish film ''Film/TheLastDays:'' 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.

-->'''''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 1984 ''Film/{{Supergirl}}'' movie 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 Supergirl. Sadly, this does ''not'' lead to a teamup of the Maid of Steel and a [[Franchise/{{Popeye}} certain sailor man]].

* ''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 [[spoiler: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.

* Just try to put a number on the shameless product placements in 'Film/{{Disturbia}}''.

* 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/BillyMadison'' and Snack Pack pudding

** 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 [[DoingItForTheArt 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.

** 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 "[[TropeCoTropeOfTheWeek 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, [[DoingItForTheArt 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]].

*** ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' takes the shilling for Sony UpToEleven, 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.

** The brand might not be clearly visible in the movie itself, but according to a commercial using the scene in question, Film/DoctorStrange2016's BadassBeard 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 of course, Strange's life-changing accident comes while he's driving his sweet [[CoolCar Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4]].

** 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.

** 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 2009", 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.

** The tie-ins are clearly intended as a jab at the extensive merchandising around the ''Franchiss/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.

** It is made abundantly clear in ''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/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. As they exit, refreshed and refilled, Bugs provides the main page quote, further lampshading the situation. There's also Daffy Duck listing "your product name here" after mentioning Fanta and Mountain Dew.

* 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 Franciso.

** 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.

* Film/JurassicWorld

** The park main street has locations like Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, Ben & Jerry's, Pandora Jewelry and a Hilton Hotel. And Starbucks too, which is pretty much inevitable. [[note]] The main street area might be [[YourMileageMayVary/HomePage might]] [[StealthParody be parodying]] the Downtown Disney and [=CityWalk=] areas of Disney and Universal theme parks respectively.[[/note]]

** 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 of course, a Dr. Pepper machine shows up.

* The 2012 remake of ''[[Film/RedDawn2012 Red Dawn]]'' 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.

* 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.

** In ''Film/TheTerminator'', there's a hard-to-miss shot of the Nike swoosh when Kyle steals a pair. The Honda Elite scooter that Sarah rides had only recently been introduced, and we see a few loving shots of it in early scenes.

* A prominent example in ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'' when Walmart is seen in the middle of the desert. {{Parodied}} when Daffy Duck lists "your product name here" after mentioning Fanta and Mountain Dew.
* Several logos appear in the live-action film adaptation of ''Garfield'' including Pepsi, Ace Hardware, and Petco.

* ''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. As they exit, refreshed and refilled, Bugs provides the main page quote, further lampshading the situation.

* ''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.
