what a great movie...gotta love angelina jolie in it too...
As the previous witers said, it is called product placement. Just like when you see someone pouring a pepsi or coke in a glass. Pepsi paid the studio to show that product. Coca-Cola owns MGM so you will always see someone drinking a coke in their movie.
Ups pays big bucks to show their package car in a movie. I dont believe the movie people pays Ups. As far as the driver making a delivery, I have a feeling he was an actor, even if it was a walk-on role. In moonstruck with Cher, you see a package car. As I said, Ups paid to have that package car in that scene.

LOL, ok this is falls back to what we were talking about in another thread, about the powers that be, monitoring this board. Been watching this thread, and I went to UPSers.com this morning and low and behold I find this same topic in the Atlantic news section.
Actually with more information then has been posted here, as far as the shows that you can find UPS represented. I'll copy a portion of it, because it does answer a lot of questions.

PS. hope I didn't cross any lines by posting this from UPSers.com. I just figured it would be of interest here, specially with this thread.

I see a TV series missing....The Apprentice. During the second season they did an intro segment at a UPS facility. You know we paid for that! It was staged.
I have been observing UPS involvement in movies and TV for more than 30 years now. You can tell when it is product placement or the luck of being at the right place at the right time. My route was right next to 20th Century Fox in Cheviot Hills which is a stone's throw from Century City. At least 3 times a month I would run into production crews filming on my route.
Two big shows that did a lot of filming was "Starsky & Hutch" and "Chips".
I was always amazed at how many times they film the same scene over and over and over. In some cases, I was allowed down the street to make deliveries while other cars were not allowed through.
