Rudy II: He’s Colonel Sanders Now视频来源：iWebAd肯德基推出了一支视频广告《Rudy II: He’s Colonel Sanders Now》，恶搞经典电影《追梦赤子心》。广告的主角依然是电影中肖恩·阿斯汀（Sean Astin）饰演的“鲁迪（Rudy）”一角，但在广告中鲁迪有了新的梦想，他不想再做鲁迪上校，而是要成为肯德基大叔——桑德斯上校。广告片一开始的片头台词便致敬了电影《追梦赤子心》：“sometimes a winner is a dreamer who just won't quit. （有时胜利者是一个不放弃的梦想者）”，随之画面是鲁迪在球赛中获胜的场面，众人高高举起鲁迪进行庆祝。画风一转，鲁迪看到肯德基炸鸡桶的时候，他立志要成为桑德斯上校，并为之不懈努力。朋友给了他一件印有“Kentucky Fried（肯德基炸鸡）”文字的衣服，鼓励他实现自己的梦想。（这里致敬了《追梦赤子心》中经典桥段：22岁生日，好友送了鲁迪一件印有圣母大学字样的外套，并鼓励他去实现自己的梦想。）鲁迪秋衣上的11号，是在暗示肯德基炸鸡采用11种香料腌制。最后，鲁迪终于成为了一名桑德斯上校。令人惊讶的是，在橄榄球比赛前亮相时，上场的时候鲁迪怀抱的不是橄榄球，而是一桶肯德基炸鸡桶。另外，《鲁迪2》还出了一个番外篇《Free Cake（免费蛋糕）》，旨在告诉观众在肯德基消费十个套餐就可以得到一份免费的巧克力蛋糕。Rudy II | Free CakeCREATIVE AGENCYCREATIVE AGENCY: Wieden+Kennedy, PortlandEXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR: Jason Bagley, Eric BaldwinCREATIVE DIRECTOR: Jarrod Higgins, Lawrence MelilliART DIRECTOR: Katie WillisCOPYWRITER: Ryan SnyderSTRATEGIST: Britton Taylor, Matt Hisamotto, Andrew Clayton, Becca RamosEXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Heather Smith HarveySENIOR PRODUCER: Jennifer FiskeBRAND MANAGER: Jesse Johnson, Kimmy Cunningham, Aparna Battoo, Spencer CrainBUSINESS AFFAIRS MANAGER: Amber Lavender, Nestor GandiaCREATIVE MANAGER: Jane Monghan, Lauren WalkerSTUDIO DESIGNER: Amy Streger, Victoria Tengblad-Kreft, Patrick Nistler, Dave Hagen, Chris StregerPRINT PRODUCER: Denise HanggiPRODUCTION COMPANYPRODUCTION COMPANY: Arts & SciencesDIRECTOR: Mike WarzinEXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Mal WardDOP: Alex DisenhofLINE PRODUCER: Kristin PorterPOST PRODUCTION / VFXPOST PRODUCTION COMPANY: JammVFX SUPERVISOR: Andy Boyd, Jake MontgomeryFLAME ARTISTS: Graziella Gandolfi, Patrick Munoz, Michael Do,PRODUCERCOLOURIST: Tom PooleLEAD CG FX: Andy BoydLEAD FLAME ARTIST: Jake MontgomeryCG ARTIST: Ben MartinPRODUCTION COORDINATOR: Anna DoodEXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Asher EdwardsCOLOR COMPANY: CO3COLOUR PRODUCER:SOUNDSOUND COMPANY: JointSOUND DESIGN & MIX: Noah WoodburnMUSICTITLE: “The Final Game” from Rudy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)OFFLINEEDIT COMPANY: JointEDITOR: rPOST PRODUCER: Chris GirardEXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Lesley Carthy
