DETR - Vectorscope (UK)

A cinema only ad from the pre-THINK! campaign. Featuring the first road-safety advert appearance (until the TfL motorbike advert came out, anyway) from Ewan McGregor. This is a pretty rare film, and after hunting for it for years I finally came across it on some dodgy Russian advert archive website. This was originally to only be shown in cinemas with a 15 certificate, but I'm not entirely sure why. It's pretty tame, really. But the effects are really cool.

I wonder how many people they had to kill before they got a good audio recording

@BubbleGumNipples ...and think of the cost for studio time. Costs a lot to get blood out of the carpet.

This was actually rated U in the cinemas.I dont know why though, it's not that graphic but too graphic for a U.

Seriously? That's insane.

Tom should do more PIFs.

Actually the first Think! PIF was in 1999.
