Some movie scenes are so iconic, you don't even need to have seen the film to know where it's from.
Here's hoping that's the case for Mountain Dew's new spot, which sees the legendary axe scene from The Shining - a distinctly non-family-friendly movie - recreated in enjoyable detail for the Super Bowl - a distinctly more-family-friendly show.
Taking on Jack Nicolson's Jack Torrance role is Bryan Cranston, joyfully chewing the scenery whilst obliterating it.
Shot by MJZ's Tom Kuntz, through agency TBWA Chiat Day New York, the fun-loving spoof gets top marks for accuracy, and even topper marks for one of the most delightful/disturbing final shots in recent commercial history...
