Remember Virgin record stores? At one time, they were so desperate to launch themselves in America that they promoted themselves in Dracula 2000, a movie that proves what Hammer learned 3 decades earlier – bringing Dracula into the modern day is a really bad idea.

The shameless plugs aren’t limited to a few close-ups of its stores, though. Not only is the film’s heroine a shelf-stacking employee, which allows her to afford an aircraft hangar-sized apartment, but her name is Mary (as in “Virgin Mary”) and her roommate is played by Vitamin C, a singer signed to Virgin’s V2 label.

Best of all is the scene where Dracula (Gerard Butler) beholds a vision of Virgin employee Mary, so he visits her workplace and is entranced by a music video featuring S & M queens and titty dancers. He’s watching the Heads Explode promo for Monster Magnet, a band signed – you guessed it – to Virgin’s V2 label.
