Casino Royal

So was that Richard Branson making a guest appearance? the scene at the airport at the walk through metal detector, looks like him facing the camera with his arm up.

Yes or No?

Ok film not enough gadgets for me

Re: Casino Royal

Also Mr Branson made a guest (speaking) appearance in the latest Superman movie. He was one of the shuttle pilots.

Re: Casino Royal

yeah i spotted him first time i watched it, doubted myself then noticed all the virgin branding and the aircraft and thought it had to be with that film.
Too much advertising in that film its almost sickening. Sony getting their own phones to look better than they are. Ford showing off the new mondeo, The omega watch part. Horrid

Ill take a look out for branson in the shuttle on superman though, didnt spot that one!

I didn't notice too much product placement in this one compared to previous Bonds. One of the Brosnan's had a bottle of HP sauce centre stage for gods sake. I can half understand expensive cars, watches and the like but HP sauce? The Bond films are escapism. HP sauce is the boring real world. Ruined the film. So I know where you're coming from.

Yes Branson is in Superman. Thank god it wasn't Bransons pickle.

Cheers
Bri
