And remember kids: Smoke Marlboros and eat KFC!


Ha ha, those two pieces of product placement are so heinous in an otherwise enjoyable film. This movie is responsible for the modern obesity epidemic and getting millions of kids hooked on that rich, bold flavor of a Marlboros. Other than that, its SUPER!

Don't forget the giant exploding Coca Cola sign!

and the word SMACK spray painted on a light pole in Metropolis.

While Marlboro should probably have been reconsidered given the nature of the product, I like that they used real products. It makes the feel movie feel more real. I like that Zod was thrown into a "Coca-Cola" sign instead of a "Buzz Cola" sign or something like that. Again, it just feels more real. I have no problem with KFC either.

KFC is best washed down with Coca Cola - too bad the chain serves only Pepsi products.... 😟

In Superman III, they went from Marlboros to Camels...
