Old Cinema Intermission ads from the 70's & 80's

[Spookychris01]

2 Cinema ad's i just cant find are the 'Mega Cone' (dodgey animation with someone shoving a ice cream in Judge Deredd's face), and old Barclays ad (where the guy says to his boss YOU MUST BE CRAZY and he just sits and laughs)... Anyone seen these?

[ClockManEdd]

A Ross GC3 Projector with Peerless Magnark ??

you need a second mortgage these days..pound shop next door and sneak it in

[FeNsTa]

it's time for some nuts.....

[DEEninetysix]

ahhh the kia ora ad reminds me of the early 00's / late 90s ads that played in cinemas, before it was ALL trailers >.< the late onset sound, the nice, only-play-in-cinema ads, all of it. i wish i was around in the 80s, even if i was born in 85 or something :)

[SWFC1100]

or maybe a shag.... ps this sounds like facejacker

Dear Friend with great wishes I liked your upload cigarettes commercial Friend I am missing that magical and so beautiful commercial of Man's demand capstan cigarette which was made in I think in 4 countries. I have seen that commercial when i was 8 years of age and now I am 44 years of age and not seen again. I am so impatient to see that again. Kindly friend upload this or give me link of that commercial it reminds me my beautiful days of childhood. with regards Shakeel sunny Pakistan

[Gannett2011]

Mmmmm, I can well imagine eating ice cream or hot dogs under a thick pall of cigarette smoke. But don't worry, because the left-hand half of the auditorium is non-smoking - just tell the smoke not to drift! I'm sure it all added to the atmosphere though (pun intended!) I love these ads. A bit young to remember the intermission properly (at 40!) but do remember the ads being slightly raunchier than on TV. I think it would be well worth you getting a professional transfer of these films.

[Bignadim]

dosent that hostess tray with walls icecream look a bit art deco? at 3:20

[thesloaneranger1]

isint that adrienne posta in the walls advert - last seen in up the junction iirc???

[torquesport]

@thesloaneranger1 It is indeed!

[thesloaneranger1]

@torquesport i really need to get out more! lol! thanks for the confirmation torquesport :)

[thesloaneranger1]

going to the pictures just isint the same these days - bring back intermissions and kia-ora adverts! :D thanks for sharing x

[grinhousekiller]

other than a few drive ins that play intermissions today,there are no intermissions.

the last time I rember a intermission during a film was gettysburg back in the 90s

now days they have a movie 3 hours plus with no intermission.

thanks peter jackson, for making me sit there for like 3 and half hours and no intermission.

[SteveINtheUKok]

The usherettes selling the Kia-Ora with a straw and the individual tubs of ice cream with a horrible wooden spoon that used to give me goose bumps when I put it in my mouth it was all spongy and horrible. Intermissions, those really age you! Anyone for a Mivi? LOL

[audiocoffee]

I work at a theatre where we have brought back the intermission! We have a small feature, then an intermission before the main screening. Even when there's a double feature, there's an intermission... so, the whole intermission thing isn't dead - not yet anyway! :-)

[Ampex196]

Is that Felicity Kendal at 1:30??

[tonymontana1974]

@No it dosent look like felicity kendal.

[Ampex196]

@tonymontana1974

I didnt SEE her either, but I do 'HEAR' her at 1:29.

[MarcusDarling4026]

I detect Steven Lisburger animations ("Animalympics" & Tthe original "Tron" character as a neon toon). I suppose he started off like Puff Daddy-

..doin ppl's / companies' grunt work til one of his OWN ideas popped off. 0:40

[FeNsTa]

mmm ice cream, and i feel a strange urge to take lsd ......

[antster1983]

Nothing on the interweb anywhere about Hostess Ripple.

[ThatsnewsTV]

Thanks! I remember many of these adverts! Especially the David Nixon one and the one before that. I want a Lyons Maid ice cream now! And that Kia-ora orange drink in the plastic cups that always tasted of plastic!

[TowedHaulProductions]

.............If u cant bite em lick em!!

[DoctorPretorious616]

LOL, that first Kia Ora ad was so racist! :D

[fairhillnorrie]

god those Lyons maid adds were awful.. have to give this thumbs down.. sorry..

[megaben99]

what is hostess ripple? is it sherbert flavored or something? it actually sounds good. thanks

[Poppymodern]

Adrienne Posta, not Adrienne Corri.

[Poppymodern]

The Lyons Maid adverts were terrible, compared with the Walls ad with the vwonderful Adrienne Corri.

[ShutUpYouMong]

Derek Griffiths as a pimp: I can die happy now.

[Cool2BCeltic]

Period pieces. I can't say I like the voiceover and music in the first ad but it's a long time since I've heard Coca Cola marketed as "the Real Thing". Interesting to see the gentlemanly David Nixon who seems to be forgotten nowadays. KP stopped pushing it about the protein content of their nuts a long time ago. They probably went on about the protein in their nuts so as people wouldn't think about the very high fat content in peanuts.

[Sheri451]

Boy that would have been nice to have someone bring you a snack to your seat in the movies here. We call them popsicles here what you call Ice Lollies.

[tinkerthecat]

man the last time i saw a film with an interval was when i was four or five and saw the flintstones, crap movie was 1994??

[robotronuk]

Love it!!! The first one was still being shown in our local Odeon till the early 90`s

[Votapardo]

Excuse me ma'am, do you have any ALBATROSS! ?

[RobinCarmody]

Some of these ads are clearly from the 60s. Interesting range of styles and eras here.

[glenh75]

How many Drive in's are still open?? Very sad they went away... I really miss'em.

[fulcilover]

40p per litre those days

[Prokifiev]

David Nixon!

[matrags]

Bring back the intermission!!!

[Marty0Mcfly]

We did, briefly, in 2007 when Tarantino released Grindhouse. And that movie flopped big time.

[simonwells247]

i love the film style and sound. it takes me back to a time that was simple.

[retroman51]

The kia-ora ad sounds like it was pitched/slowed down to NTSC Standards.

[kstarpictures]

Strange, I must say. Never even heard of Kia-Ora Stateside. Besides, I'm sure if the first ad featured here was shown in this country, the imagery would have caused an uproar.

[yogafan6500]

Most impressive. It's just like going to those cinemas in the U.K. while waiting for the feature attraction to begin.

[TimelordR]

Their snack ads are just as funny as the ones we use to show in the US! Thanks for sharing.

[teaface1976]

The Woolton, Liverpool still does intermissions in the middle sometimes, they showed that Kia-ora one for years when i was growing up!

[The6thSimpson]

i was born after the days of intermissions, so can i ask where the intermissions halfway through the film, or at the beginning?

[woutch]

Intermissions do happen from time to time even today (the last Pirates film had one) but these intermission filmlets you see here were before the "main feature". There would always be a support (older) feature or at the very least a 25 minute short film before the intermission. The intermissions were dropped after all the short films were stopped in 1986. Then the intermissions faded into obsurity.

[tonymontana1974]

You had the adverts and the trailers ( which you still do) at the start of the film then halfway through the film you whould have the intermission. Im like you i never really saw a intermission in a film in the u.k. cinemas the only time i ever saw it was when i went to amsterdam on holiday about 6 years ago and went to a cinema in the town centre they had a 10 minute intermission there.

[Theyoungorganist01]

Half way through because the projectors were so old they could only fit half the film on so in the intermission they would use the other projector for the ads and swap the film round in the main one

[melaniestevens]

this must be in the uk? I'm so smart lol

[billyclabby]

Why not try a hot dog?

[pab70]

Is that Edward Judd doing the voiceover at the beginning?

[agfagaevart]

Mr Flambards himself.

Think bike!

[agfagaevart]

I noticed Adrienne Posta and Derrick Griffiths in the ad for Walls Ice cream.

[tonymontana1974]

Yeh derek grittiths was a pimp wasnt he ?

[agfagaevart]

Well he looks like one in the ad. Not sure if he'd be happy about it today.

[chaoreturnsforgood76]

I think that Wall's advert is from 1973

[trailersic]

Great Job! Only remember the first two, but an imporovement on the previous up, don't suppose you could rapidshare the original video of the first one?

[lavverlylad]

These are missing my dad growling "Think I'm f***ing made of money?!" in a Glaswegian whisper...
