10 Weirdest Times Films Broke The Fourth Wall
3. Product Placement - Return Of The Killer Tomatoes
Perhaps the most self-indulgent break in film ever, Return of the Killer Tomatoes, the sequel to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes - both very serious, brooding films, if the titles are anything to go by - contains a moment with young George Clooney coming to the film's rescue. With a tube of crest and some invasive cornflakes, no less.
In a move that's been parodied plenty of times but never quite so expertly, when the filming budget runs out the cast and crew brainstorm ways they can keep the movie afloat: and what better than product placement?
After pulling the set apart with their conversation, we cut to a scene in a bar... or a cafe... or whatever it is that sells beer, breakfast, and toiletries all over one handy counter, for Clooney and his moustached companion run through a skit selling whatever they can get their hands on.
