I've tried my luck at Google to no avail, so here goes ... Has anyone seen that Mountain Dew commercial, where the basketball player has to make his way through an assortment of samurais/ninjas/demons from hell in order to score a layup, then says "Didn't even touch me" right before his clothes (and afro) comically fall in tatters to the floor?
Does anyone know where I can find some info (producers, screengrabs, download, etc) about this commercial?
For those that don’t know, the Tiger Mask character was based on a Japanese cartoon, so Misawa stepping out of that and becoming the best wrestler in his country would be kind of like Chris Benoit doing a Darkwing Duck gimmick and then becoming the Chris Benoit we all mark over. - AWC

That might help you find more info on the ad...
It did ... and I checked the Mountain Dew web site too, oh well.

Yeah, that includes the extra long version that I'd never seen before ... Ninjas and hockey players and Neo rip-offs, oh my!

Oh come on, they can't reboot the franchise this quickly. It's only been ten years since the first movie. This would be like if the original Superman movie started all over again in 1989.
