The Forgotten History of BMW's Action Movies (they were amazing)

[@JordanToussaint]

Around that time, my aunt worked for BMW corporate and gave me a dvd copy of the films. I was 10 years old and it truly sparked a deeper interest in cinema and never really felt like the “branded content” we know all too well today. Truly groundbreaking, didn’t think anyone else knew about them since I never personally saw them anywhere but the dvd I owned. Great video!

Thanks! I still remember waiting for the quick time player to load the videos as our friend had uploaded them to a website he built. They made an impact on me as a kid and I never forgot them, And after I found out how groundbreaking they were I had to make this essay. Glad you enjoyed the video!

This is the craziest promotional idea I've ever heard. You would have to be high to even try it, and yet, it worked.

This is like when Coca-Cola made “Independence Day” just so they could have the main character pick up a Coca-Cola can, take it over to a Coca-Cola machine and throw it in a recycling bin full of nothing but Coca-Cola cans.

Genius timing for an advertising campaign. Computers weren't ubiquitous at the time, but their target demographics were surely plugged in.

How did I not know about this? This is amazing!

[@mythwest]

Right?? You can also find all The Hire shorts remastered in 4k on KZbin! My favorites are probably Escape and Star, but of course they’re basically all good

[@qmyers367]

Right?!

2:55 wtf that's such a sad customer base

[@thatonepossum5766]

I plan on watching and enjoying all of these, but first I have to ask… did you mean to post 3 videos in 3 minutes? Because that feels unintentional.

[@mythwest]

Hey yea so I just got a post put up about it in the community tab but two of them are re-uploads where I fixed parts of the videos, but of course the bmw one is new

[@TheRealMycanthrope]

I'm sorry, what? That's wild.

Played basketball against this dude growing up in my hometown, he straight up Tomahawk dunked on me, and then went off to the sidelines to do a pastel painting of a bear having coffee with an owl ….I quit basketball that day. True story
