New Lexus & Men in Black Commercials Break the Fourth Wall

Nice! And if the touch controller did that on the real cars nobody would be complaining!

Black Panther, SuperFly, Men in Black.... young audiences... good stuff...

I doubt most have seen the remake of SuperFly but the LC was shown quite a bit in it.

It was filmed and based here in Atlanta. Nothing like the original but a nice update I guess.

We were asked to provide wheels to the LC but the terms IMO were not very good so I passed.

All great to hear! I still think the LCF in the new James Bond coming in 2020 would be sweet but I think Aston still holds the rights on those...

It was featured very well in that movie, starting with it stopping in front of a building where you can clearly hear it is the V8 version.

There is a fairly unrealistic scene where it is able to keep up with a higher powered AWD car on soft terrain (no spoilers) but otherwise it is one of the strongest appearances of a car I have seen in a movie the past couple of years.

Black Panther was the only movie with Lexus PP as of late that did well; didn't even realize there was a Superfly remake last year, had to google it and see what the RT score was, which was meh.
