Chinese Iron Man 3 Edit Contains A VERY Cool Product Placement Superhero Secret
Do you know what Iron Man relies on to revitalize his energy? PLEASE BE QUIET AND DO NOT ANSWER THAT. “Uhhhhh he relies on alien subparticles that he bought with his playboy zillionaire money to revitalize his energy in combat. He keeps them in his light-up chest circle.” Hahah. I don’t know anything about Iron Man or nearly anything else, is the joke! Anyway, no, you’re wrong, he relies on milk and if you had seen the Chinese edit of Iron Man 3 YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT. From The Hollywood Reporter, via FilmDrunk:
HONG KONG – As the houselights dimmed in cinemas across mainland China at around midnight on Tuesday, audiences attending the first wave of public screenings of Iron Man 3 fell silent with apprehension as a question appeared on screen: “What does Iron Man rely on to revitalize his energy?”
After a three-second blackout, three big Chinese characters appeared onscreen: “Gu Li Duo.”
The Marvel fanboys shouldn’t bother to rummage through their libraries to solve this riddle, because Gu Li Duo isn’t a a mystical power source in the original comic series — it’s a milk drink which is on sale for less than $1 a carton in convenience stores across mainland China.
Hahahahahaha. That is very good product placement. I’m lovin’ it.™ Are you I’m lovin’ it.™? You’re probably like, “THEY’RE RUINING MY HERO!” “IRON MAN ONLY DRINKS AMERICAN GATORADE AND SOMETIMES MOUNTAIN DEW CODE RED!” Relax, guys! Now you’re in on the secret! Try to see if you can find some Gu Li Duo and get ready to fly through the sky like your boy Iron Man. “But does it build me the suit?” YES IT BUILDS YOU THE SUIT, GO BUY IT!
