Yes I remember them.

The voice on the Odeon guy in the second video (about 5.00) used to really annoy me. The Dolby Digital ad to be on laserdiscs too.

I remember the Kia Ora ad, how curtains used to open at the cinema.

"I'll be your dog, I'll be your dog... woof woof..." :cool:

"Auntie Beryl . . . if you're drinking Bacardi".:)

Those damn Bicardi ad's were always way too loud.

My local cinema still had an area for the orchestra until quite recently

I hadn't seen that particular ad, but saw similar 'no smoking' warnings. I used to wonder how a cigarette burnt up so fast.

kia-ora and um-bongo were great adverts

Celluloid Screams in Sheffield did a half hour just of adverts from the 80s at the end of last year (plus ads, etc). It was brilliant. Would love to sit through a movie's worth of them... and then go home and watch all the movies

I used to love all those 70s/80s things including the Pearl*and Dean advert...

That said - My fave was always "Hey Crusader... Have you any nuts?"

Fizzbin · 26/01/13 - 23:18

Remember most of those clips - some voiced by Michael Aspel.

Favourite ad was this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJvL5pyNucg it looked so good on a really big screen, would love to see it in HD.

I also remember the 'Beware, Thieves are silent' snake promo, always used to hiss along to it, can't find it on youtube though.

Virgil Tracy · 27/01/13 - 15:06

are those Telly Savalas ads about somewhere ?

RecordPlayer · 27/01/13 - 15:20

I remember some of them and the Jet Set. They were always sailing off somewhere drinking Martinis.:D

Don't they show Pearl and Dean anymore? I'm sure I saw their intro not so long ago.

Deccomajor · 27/01/13 - 22:49

Smoking in cinemas, now they were the days

I know this is a very old thread, but I too am searching for this snake PSA and wondered if you (or anyone else) ever succeeded in finding a copy?

Not so far.

spiney2 · 02/04/16 - 12:34

great ads, but that ancient version of kia ora has so much sugar that nowadays wd be a class A drug ....

Karis · 02/04/16 - 12:59

I remember pretty much all of those.

Ahhh. No phones / or iPads. People were much more polite. Usherettes in each screening to kick out nobs who were mucking about.

The 80s were awesome for movies!

Fairyprincess0 · 02/04/16 - 16:41

I haven't clicked on the link. Does this include 'butterkiss, butterkiss, ra-ra-ra?'

Yep. You could really sit down and watch, Mac and me, missing in action, or brakin' 2: electric boogaloo in peace.....:D
