Ducati is very well known for being great at product placement in box-office hits, such as Matrix, with the breathtaking 998 scenes. 2013 brings another Ducati starring in an upcoming production, Kick-Ass 2. This time we're going to look at a Ducati 1199 Panigale, but featuring a most intriguing purple color. We must admit we never saw this one coming, and with Ducati being so conservative as far as their bikes color was concerned, this is a rather big surprise. These pictures were taken on the Kick-Ass 2 set, with a stunt double riding the Ducati 1199 Panigale, since the lead actress Chloe Moretz is only 15 and can't ride. And anyway, the Panigale is not toy for children, as it packs sheer brutality and is intended to be ridden by skilled pilots only. Kick-Ass 2 debuts June 28, 2013, and hopefully we'll grow to like the purple Ducati 1199 Panigale, because right now, we hate it, to be honest.

Even the annoyingly talentless (but strangely popular with casting directors) Nicholas Cage couldn't stop the first Kick Ass being a good film ...... as for Duc being conservative about colours - don't remember too many Green Ducs before Matrix ........ although purple! Bit 'Kwak Triple' for me .......
Oh dear, A stunning bike dragged down to the level of caricature / cartoon status by Hollywood. Previous examples of Ducati product placement were v.good. This one is shite - if Ducati gave approval. If not, I suggest they get their legal team on the case. A good example that not all publicity is good publicity in my view. Or .............it could be a piss-take!!! If so, well done "Administrator", I took the bait!!!
only if she's hot... purple panigale??? absofknlutley disgusting...looks like a smashed up bar of Dairy Milk. talking of shite Ducati product placement.... what about that perfume ad with the horrific scrag end, kiera thrice-knightly..thats really bad, not least coz of the huge lid that makes her look like Frank Sidebottom, but the stunt woman/dummy during the jump scene (where the bike miraculously develops completely different suspension and wheels)... or perhaps that shite film with the bike chase scene...dont remember the name of it, or the actors (dont really watch films or telly) but one of the blokes played George Dubya...constant flashes of 'Ducati' and 'Desmosedici'...embarrassing.
Show me something out of Hollywood where they don't make an attempt to have a hot leading super-heroine (though I agree it could be a matter of taste). I doubt she's a chubby teenager with a muffin top and braces. But hey. What do I know? Can't say I'm on tenterhooks for this one, Ducati or no Ducati.
This is why Glidd, me old mucker, i tend to swerve past virtually every film ever made. i dont think ive seen more than a handful of films from beginning to end. totally unreal, paper thin plots, wooden acting and scandalous budgets that could save real human lives, and lots of them. I'd still grunt that megan fox though...a credit to her surgeons and personal trainer, if not her acting coach.
I Google imaged Chloe Moretz. I rest my case. She'll be a stunner when she's a legal age. Until then, we'll just have to consider her a child, even if Hollywood won't.
that is one of the few. that, and the meaning of life. both classics. some idiots thought it was blasphemous. blasphemy is a victimless crime.
a bit like natalie portman. they pushed her sexuality when she was just a kid. typical hollywood double standards.
Anne Widdicombe has only just discovered Life of Brian this week, never having seen it before, and she finds she is offended by it ... thirty years after everybody else recognised it as an all time great film.
But then Anne Widdecombe is just some old bag whom no one should ever bother listening to. I can't imagine how she ever became a "personality" whose views were even worth considering. She is of no more interest to me that the old woman who runs the tobacconists.
True, but when she was a politician, she was regarded as one of the most loyal, truthful and trustworthy politicians in Westminster.
