Looking at the rather fuzzy lettering in the background (to boot, it's in German), I'm guessing that this is to promote how well the tires stick to the road.

Try x-entertainment.com. They have a great selection of vintage toy ads.

That's why they usually only come with monitors installed in the backseats.

I don't really like those; if they really wanted to go retro, they would've brought back the inflatable lightsabers.

I'm trying to track down an online cartoon that was entitled "What Would've Made Troy a Better Movie." It features Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom transforming into the Hulk and Legolas to fight the battle of Troy.

What really made Bubba Ho-Tep for me were the fantastic performances by Campbell and Ossie Davis; otherwise, it would've been just another mediocre indie flick.

Banderas does make the movie fun, doesn't he? We're playing it on 5 screens right now and sold out most of our shows this weekend.

Boondock Saints was interesting; Willem Dafoe was definitely the best part of the movie, though.

I like the American ones in that train-wreck sort of way. Airport, The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, Earthquake and even Independence Day are all gleefully bad, but you just can't help but watch. Airport '77, when the plane winds up underwater, is absolutely priceless.

Secret Agent Man was the original series, known as Secret Agent in the US.
BTW, the reason I came back to this topic in the first place was to announce that the THX-1138 website is up, complete with a new trailer. It looks like this will get a limited theatrical rerelease before going to DVD. Here's the link to the trailer

SES, you hit the nail on the head, but you forgot about some uniquely American phenomena that only serve to bolster your argument: VH1's Behind the Music and the E! True Hollywood Story.

You do not want a theatrical print for this purpose; they are too far removed from the original negative to retain the detail necessary for a good telecine transfer, plus they wind up being overly contrasty on video, not to mention grainy. Stick with the LDs.

I didn't see TPM in theatres until Christmas of '99. The first time I saw it was actually a bootlegged .avi file a friend had downloaded @ work. Such is life.

That, and the fact that they're from different studios.
