Hi Everyone!
I just thought that I would create this thread for a bit of fun.
You guys can all probably think of countless examples of aftershave or cologne being used on screen in films or in TV shows. Maybe it's my age-addled memory, but I am having a hard time thinking of many of those instances. The three that instantly come to my mind I have listed below:
1) In Only Fools And Horses, Del Boy is often seen applying or making references to Brut. It seems as though this is mostly concerning the aftershave, rather than the deodorant form of Brut. This is one of the most obvious examples of product placement in a long-running TV sitcom that I can think of.
2) In Live and Let Die (1973), James Bond, played by Roger Moore, is seen torching a snake using an improvised flamethrower. This consists of his lit cigar and what appears to be a can of Brut deodorant. It is never made clear that it actually is Brut, but the distinctive Brut can is identifiable by its lettering and green colour.
3) In Home Alone (1990), Kevin McCallister, played by Macaulay Culkin, is seen splashing on Brut aftershave after he has just had a shower. You can easily see the word BRUT on the bottle when we get a close-up of it. This famous scene and his reaction is one of the most best-known scenes in this comedy.
I was hoping that some of you guys could come up with some alternative examples of aftershave/cologne product placement in films/TV. It's over to you....
