Imagine what would happen if you take the courtroom scene from A Few Good Men and overdub it from the point of view of an advertising company? Well you don’t have to imagine, just watch this YouTube video.
Hearing Jack Nicholson ponce on about creative this, logo that, and the art of advertising while wearing a uniform and a devilishly stern face is enough to make you wince.
I’ve never been a big fan of Tom Cruise and this film marked one of his most wooden displays. I actually thought someone had thrown a log in to the room at some point, so the voice-over actually improves his performance.
The dubbing is actually quite bad, giving the video clip a Japanese martial arts movie kind of look, but it’s still cleverly done and funny nonetheless.
