So, I had to ask him: What was the most ridiculous, most egregious example of product placement he's ever come across? He didn't have to think long. "Mac and Me," he declared.
"It's the worst, worst, worst, worst, worst thing you'll ever see in your entire life ... and it was completely paid for by my good friends at McDonald's."
The movie, which came out in 1988, is infamous among connoisseurs of cinematic schlock, who rank it alongside the likes of "Troll 2" as one of the worst movies ever made. The film is about a freakish-looking alien named MAC (an acronym for "Mysterious Alien Creature") who ventures to earth, befriends a wheelchair-bound lad and discovers a boundless love for McDonald's.
The high point (or low point) of the movie is a staggeringly cheesy five-minute dance sequence in the middle of a McDonald's, featuring an appearance by none other than Ronald McDonald. "It's ridiculous. One of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen in my life," said Spurlock.
