Western stars regularly do commercials in Japan. Everything goes from the craziest to the most sober: energy drink, car, whisky, beer, cakes… a little anthology of these pubs at their best… and for fun!
It’s crazy!!! In France, on the Cote d’Azur, we relax and drink hard in Saint-Tropez. But it is not the same in Japan. We prefer to listen to the good advice of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who like a genie from his lamp extols the benefits of an energy drink.
Unless you allow yourself to be tempted by the favorite coffee of Tommy Lee Jones, who eagerly drinks his pot. You’re going to love these mouth-watering cookies, aren’t you? However, Kiefer “Jack Bauer” Sutherland swears by them.
At the table, you will probably eat a small soup as a starter; This is the best effect. Why not exactly what Sylvester Stallone loves? For the digestive moment, a little whiskey recommended by Charles Bronson will do. Don’t forget to freshen up your breath before going out for the evening with Jean-Claude Van Damme’s favorite brand of chewing gum…
what are we talking about But Japandering look! what??? The JapanesenessActually a portmanteau of the words “Japan” and “pandering” (which means “flattering”), these Western stars – most often Americans – come to shoot commercials for Japanese clients, eg Bill Murray Lost in Translation.
In addition to cinematic news, this is actually a good way for these stars to maintain their image in the land of the rising sun, especially since some of them are especially appreciated there, like our nationality Alain Delon.
Almost everything goes there: a car, a phone, cakes, beer, whiskey… from the most sober to the most hyped advertisement. The fact remains that while some stars are entirely responsible for filming these commercials, others, on the other hand, were (are not?) genuinely unhappy to remain in Japanese territory for fear of tarnishing their image. United States… But that was probably before the advent of this wonder that is the Internet that makes it possible to locate these nuggets.
Therefore, we offer a review with our own small selection. Some of them are begging to be enjoyed, given their weak technical properties, which require rarity.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Of all the Hollywood stars, Arnold Schwarzenegger It would definitely be in the top 3. Bowling beer, energy drink and other TV commercials, the former governor is the king of promos. Judge for yourself with this small collection of commercials, which are just a small part of his filming. Delirium is guaranteed!
We’ll give you another, two for the price of one! This is a gift, this is happiness!
Quentin Tarantino
As we know, QT is a big fan of Japanese cinema for eternity. His references include Takashi Miike, Akira Kurosawa and Kinji Fukasaku. He even offered a small treat to Miike by casting him for his Sukiyaki Western Django. So it’s not really surprising to find him in Japanese ads. In that case, here’s an ad Softbank.
Whether it’s working at the pyramid sites, the Great Wall of China, or even a nightclub, Tommy Lee Jones never losing his legendary dark and vulnerable gaze. Like actually in his movies. Except here, it’s because he’s naturally thinking about the moment of richness his favorite coffee will offer.
Below is a short compilation of…
In this way, the actor shot commercials for an industrial quantity of BOSS coffee brand, but not only. He also sacrificed himself for the brand Softbank. For trouble, we offer a second tasty little collection. In a series of completely WTF and delirious commercials, Tommy Lee Jones’ commercials are right in the top three.
Sylvester Stallone
Sylvester Stallone Might as well be carved out of rock and shipped AdPatres Army almost alone (no go, totally alone!), which doesn’t stop him from melting into mind-numbing soup no – Or rather, is it an advertisement? – Even in front of Mini Knak. Yes, yes, you read that right.
Below is the advertisement no, worship! Or when Sly becomes a poet, delicate and sensitive, as a slight contrast to his iconic character Rambo.
While we’re staying in the culinary department, we’re continuing with a mini snap!
Jean Reno
Jean Reno is an ultra popular actor in Japan; The public loves it, because from the time of its release big blue by Luc Besson. That is, whether it is dated or not. Still, the actor logically shot an avalanche of commercials in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Among them, the main attention is paid to the brand Toyotawhere the actor seemed to slip into the role of his life: Rom Doraemon, the manga’s star robot cat. Here he helps a shy young man take control of his destiny by inventing gadgets for him.
Nicolas Cage
When Nicolas Cage skins the demon of the game, in this case Pachinko, he gives us this little series of thought-provoking ads. Attention, aliens are coming!
Michael J. Fox
As we know, Marty Mc Fly has fans all over the world since his first adventure in 1985. And of course in Japan, where it will rebrand. Honda More or less his character, against the background of the same iconic musical theme. Otherwise, he does not disdain himself in a refreshing moment with tea, playing the role of Nicholas the gardener.
Below is a Honda ad…
And as promised, a promotional version of “Nicholas the Gardener”, which appears to have been filmed in 1994, judging by the announcement at the end of the Lillehammer Winter Olympics.
Dennis Hopper
With 150 films and series, the great Dennis Hopper has had a challenging career, sometimes racing in the Z series. It’s for this reason that we find him in this somewhat embarrassing Japanese commercial in which he stars in his film. A bath… with a rubber duck. Also, if you manage to find out what he’s selling, tell us, we couldn’t figure it out!
George Lucas
Japanese commercials shot by George Lucas are quite rare. Here’s another tour of the 80s for Brandy Panasonic; With the visiting Ewoks. The Star Wars universe is apparently never far away…
The one below was probably taken for the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, signed for the camera Panasonic.
Kiefer Sutherland
What? Kiefer “Jack Bauer” Sutherland Between two pursuits in the 24h Chrono series? He recovers his strength with an energy drink calorie mateThe best of the best to hunt down terrorists without losing your breath!
