I just saw Mad Max again (the original one, with Mel Gibson, when he only pretended to be mad), and at the end, there is a credit for BF Goodrich. So they obviously took part in the making of Mad Max. And if they’re going to do that, then how did they not do any tie-in ads?
The ads could have shown scenes of Max getting revenge, and then said: “If you want to kill people with your car, depend on BF Goodrich tires!” And then, since their ads from that time had to do with saying they weren’t the guys with the blimp, maybe they could have added: “And we don’t have a blimp, but if you want to kill people with one, maybe we’ll get one.”
Oh, and they could show scenes of the bikers skidding and wiping out and being killed and such, and said: “They didn’t have BF Goodrich tires! And this is what always happens to everyone who does not use BF Goodrich Tires!”
