Bang & Olufsen product placement

37 replies

We have all seen B&O product placement in quite a few movies. If we haven't seen it the first time round, we tend to spot it later.

 

How many movies can you name with B&O products in it?

 

I know there are easy one like 'The dark knight', and 'Inception'(I think that was it?, but what other ones?

 

Wasn't there one in the Chevy Chase film, you know, one of the national lapoon movies, the Christmas one I believe.

 

 

Yes, you're right, it is the Christmas Vacation movie, and it was a Beosystem 4500. Unfortunately destroyed by a flying piece of ice! Hard to watch!

I keep my BS4500 away from all windows!

Have you seen the thread in the music/movie section about B&O in movies? It's miles long with sightings... My favorite is one I saw myself - a BeoCom 6000 in King of The Hill!

I'm an automotive audio and acoustic engineer. I design loudspeakers and full sound systems for new automobiles. I also dabble with studio, consumer and pro audio projects from time to time.

Recently a BS9000 is spotted about every episode on the series "Californication". Hank Moody has one in his hotel room. There's never any CD's in it, nor is it turned on, but music plays in the background (in the room)... 😂

Is Red Dwarf mentioned their Evan? I am sure the Cat was wearing some B&O headphones but can't remember which episode.

Doesn't ring a bell. theres a good chance it could be in there, there are a bazillion posts on that thread.

Half of the posts are about the BeoSound 9000 and BeoLab 8000 combo! Popular, huh?

Wasn't that a BS2300?

In Ashton Kutcher's movie "Spread" there is a beocom 2, a beocenter 2, a pair of Beolab 4000 in Blue and a Beosound 9000. The house in which it was filmed is also amazing.

Yes, it was a 2300 in Monica's apartment (with BL2500's). I like seeing all B&O in movies and TV, but the 9000, BL8000, and BS3200 style systems are seen the most often. I really like seeing B&O being "used" in movies/TV, or sighting of rarer equipment. A few years ago, Toyota ran a commercial here in the States, that featured a Beocord 8000 being used as an answering machine. That'd be one nice answering machine! In the 80's show Magnum, P.I., in the main (Robin's nest) house, there was a Beogram 3000 (early 70's) version that was sometimes seen being used!
