...probably the only "product placement" DC ever arranged for the Crossfire.
Heheh, I think seeing them in The Island is what re-kindled my interest in them... Which ultimately led to buying one. As much as I dislike product placement, I guess I'd have to admit it works. At least it wasn't too blatant in The Island... The movie also got me interested in Wallycraft, but I don't exactly have $12 mil to spend...
