Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)	All the one star road cars listed are part of the scenery in the opening credits swinging sixties dance sequence. So they don't just "happen" to be there, they are part of the set.	2007-01-25 16:09
1971 Volkswagen 1302 [Typ 1] American Splendor (2003)	Appears in the establishing shot of the comic book store where Joyce Brabner (Hope Davis) works at when she is introduced. Nice paint job.	2007-01-25 16:07

1954 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Freestone & Webb [DLW44] Intelligence Men (1965)	There's a nice Rolls-Royce featured in the film Withnail and I (that I WILL make captures for when I get my DVD back), that must have a Hooper body, it has big yellow bits on the sides and swooping lines, though I don't know what year or exact model it is or anything, I will add it when my friend returns from Fiji, he has it at his house. I always wondered what it was since it looked a lot different from a Silver Cloud or one of the Phantom Series. -- Last edit: 2007-01-25 14:50:08	2007-01-25 14:45
1960 Buick LeSabre [4439] Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)	To me it just seems a bit too fish-like. It flares up at the sides like a manta ray (maybe that was the idea, the Chevy Corvette C3 was meant to look like a shark). It wouldn't call it ugly, but I'm not sure if I could live with those looks. -- Last edit: 2007-01-25 14:28:45	2007-01-25 14:25
2005 Chevrolet Equinox LS [GMT191] Borat (2006)	Wasn't Equinox the name of the fictional pep pills advertised on the radio channels in Grand Theft Auto III?	2007-01-25 14:15
1993 Isuzu Rodeo XS The Sopranos (1999-2007)	The reason I posted cars from the title sequence is because if you are a follower of this show, you will have seen this iconic opening credits sequence dozens and dozens of times at the very least. Since it's a trademark of the show I thought it was worth noting some of the cars that pass by in it. Though maybe this one is a bit too blurry.	2007-01-25 14:00
Chevrolet K-Series 'Tatonka Products Bummer Body Kit' Four Wheeler Magazine's Top Truck Challenge (2000)	"Bummer"	2007-01-25 12:11
1990 Volvo 740 [744] 28 Days Later... (2002)	But were they still making the 740 in 1995? I though by then it was the 940?	2007-01-25 12:08
The Bourne Supremacy (2004)	After buying the Ronin DVD recently I realised exactly how much better the chases in it are than the ones in most other recent Hollywood films, take the chase in this film, it wasn't bad but there was so much editing (too many shots of Bourne changing gear and putting his foot down) and shakey camera movement instead of raw speed and stunt driving, the cars never seemed to be going faster than 50 mph, whereas the cars in Ronin did well over 100 mph in places. It's like a lot directors doing action films have been affected by Michael Bay syndrome, where everything is edited to within an inch of its life and shots never last longer than a single second. -- Last edit: 2007-01-25 12:05:04	2007-01-25 12:03
2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse [W203] 28 Days Later... (2002)	How is it made for USA? This is a British car.	2007-01-25 11:55
1990 Volvo 740 [744] 28 Days Later... (2002)	It's an N-reg, so it's at least 1995, though we can't see the whole registration.	2007-01-25 11:52
1989 Bentley Turbo R 28 Days Later... (2002)	Well I don't know how you can see the mirrors in this picture, but it's worth listing anyway since it's a Bentley. I saw this film last night and I kept thinking it I was in that situation, I'd try and take it for a joyride. Then I'd hit the nearest Ferrari dealers. -- Last edit: 2012-09-11 19:55:42	2007-01-25 11:48
1944 Chrysler M4 A3 'Sherman' A Bridge Too Far (1977)	That cutting is from the Radio Times when that film was shown on TV a little while ago.	2007-01-24 21:50
(archived) Die Another Day (2002)	He wasn't even bald!! Charles Grey was very miscast, he was good in his little cameo in You Only Twice, but not right as Blofeld at all. I hate it when in the main climax at the oil rig he gets stuck in some escape pod and dangled about by a crane, Grey just sits inside shouting "What the bloody hell's going on?!". I think the only interesting thing about Diamonds Are Forever is that it seems to be the one the first Austin Powers film borrowed the most from in terms of production design. -- Last edit: 2007-01-24 21:11:57	2007-01-24 21:03
(archived) Die Another Day (2002)	I fairly enjoyed Die Another Day but the cinema, but after watching it for the second and third thim it didn't take long to see it's weaknesses, and the ending is pretty bad (awful CGI). It's definetely subpar, the worst of Brosnan's films and as weak as the sillier Roger Moore films. My least favourite Bond film is easily Diamonds Are Forever (I hated what they did with Blofeld). -- Last edit: 2008-10-03 12:56:00	2007-01-24 20:29
1930 Ford Model A The Sopranos (1999-2007)	Well done!	2007-01-24 18:27
1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)	Yes this picture is still good, it's good to see a film page done properly with full sized, clear images (without ridiculous amounts of background vehicles). Good job ahight, I like this film. -- Last edit: 2007-01-24 18:25:00	2007-01-24 18:24
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)	What about the getaway car during the bit at the end where the robber tries to knock over the convenience Brad works in?	2007-01-24 18:15
1976 Honda Accord CVCC [SJ] Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)	Every time I watch this bit my heart's in my throat. -- Last edit: 2007-01-24 18:25:34	2007-01-24 18:13
E-Z-Go TXT The Sopranos (1999-2007)	From episode 1.9. From episode 4.2. From episode 4.12. From episode 6.14. -- Last edit: 2007-12-08 03:35:44	2007-01-24 14:42
1960 Buick LeSabre [4439] Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)	Does anyone else find this car pretty odd-looking? Brad seems to like it though. -- Last edit: 2007-01-24 18:11:55	2007-01-24 14:34
1960 Buick LeSabre [4439] Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)	Well as long as we know what is. I know you don't see much of the car, could you take captures anyway?	2007-01-24 14:33
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006)	It's a contender at this year's Golden Raspberry Awards (Razzies), the awards for the worst films of the year.	2007-01-24 14:16
1960 Buick LeSabre [4439] Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)	Remember the bit where Brad is doing a fast food delivery and a woman in a sports car pulls up beside him at the lights? He winks at her, and she just laughs at him then he realizes he's wearing a really goofy pirate hat and he quits the job right there and tosses the hat and the food out the window. Where's the car that the girl drove?	2007-01-24 14:03
1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)	Wouldn't it be better to have a picture of the undamaged Camaro as the main picture and this as the thumbnail? All these pictures are good though.	2007-01-24 14:00
1996 Isuzu Oasis The Sopranos (1999-2007)	Isn't it a bit far away to be able to tell that?	2007-01-23 13:25
1991 BMW 535i [E34] Ronin (1998)	In the DVD Commentary Director John Frankenheimer tells us they used 4 BMWs and 5 Peugeot 406s during filming and in the bits where they dodged the traffic head-on they used 300 stunt drivers.	2007-01-23 13:09
1996 Isuzu Oasis The Sopranos (1999-2007)	According to wikipedia (on the page for the Honda Odyssey) both were used as NYC taxis.	2007-01-23 11:26
1996 Isuzu Oasis The Sopranos (1999-2007)	This scene is set in New York.	2007-01-23 01:49
2005 Maserati Coupé Cambiocorsa The Sopranos (1999-2007)	During Series 6 Johnny Sack is in prison awaiting trial, so to help make ends meet Ginny sells his Maserati that he bought in Series 5 to Christopher for $25,000. However it is not the same one used in the previous series, it has been facelifted and has a trident badge on the C-pillar. It is a Cambiocorsa, if you look at the second thumbnail you can see one of the paddles (it has a paddle gearbox system). First appearing in episode 6.02, Christopher rides around in his new Maserati with pride until episode 6.10 the US Marshals confiscate it as part of Johnny Sack's asset seizure (Ginny shouldn't have sold it to him since their assets were frozen). -- Last edit: 2012-04-02 22:23:59	2007-01-23 00:06
1991 BMW 535i [E34] Ronin (1998)	Neptune wrote Not all high speed driving is done by just stunt drivers; there are exceptions to the rule. (Sometimes it depends on the actors & actresses, if they want to do that sort of thing) Take the movie: Gone in 60 seconds (2000) for example. Some of the primary actors like Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie took special stunt driving classes at a stunt driving school just for that movie. Gone in 60 Seconds is pretty tame compared to the driving they did in this film. I just watched the featurettes on the DVD and there is no mention of any driving school that the actors went to. In fact some of them (including De Niro) were pretty nervous about having to go in the cars with the stunt drivers so they could film some convincing interiors shots (no dodgy back projection in this film). Maybe they did minor bits of driving (Natasha McElhone mentions that she had a simple stunt to do, but her boyfriend had come to watch so got distracted and messed it up) but all the hairy stuff (and there is a lot more hairy stuff than in most recent Hollywood films) was done by professional racing drivers. IMDB says that actor Skip Suddith (who plays Larry) did his own driving and on the DVD he says "John's directions were very point-blank, he said "you don't win points by smashing this thing into a wall" and "I don't want to see those brake lights"", but then some of the stunts featured the Audi that his character drove were done with the customized Audi with the driving seat in the boot.	2007-01-22 23:24
1991 BMW 535i [E34] Ronin (1998)	If it's OK, here are some captures from the DVD From the special features on the 2-disc Special Edition Region 2 UK DVD: The British registered BMW: The one they used for the bit where the car flips overs, this one has an M badge on the grille: Natasha McElhone's stunt double, racing driver Michel Neugarten (it's a good thing he never tried to be a drag artist), just about all of the stunt drivers who did all the high-speed driving were racing drivers, even the people who drove the traffic cars that the BMW and the Peugeot dodge head-on. Robert De Niro behind the fake steering wheel in the Peugeot with the stunt driver who is really controlling the car (sorry about the blurry pictures): With the Audi a replica was built (so they said on the DVD) that could be driven from the rear: They also did this with the Mercedes: They used Porsches as camera cars: Here's the Mercedes 500E that towed the Peugeot: -- Last edit: 2007-01-23 13:09:20	2007-01-22 23:15
2005 GMC Yukon SLT The Sopranos (1999-2007)	After driving various stylish, understated Cadillac Sevilles, the family Consigliere Silvio Dante (Steven Van Zandt) finally plumps for a dirty great SUV. The Seville suited his character better.	2007-01-22 19:27
1995 Dodge Avenger The Sopranos (1999-2007)	This car is used by Anthony Infante (Lou Martini Jr.) Johnny Sack's brother-in-law and his go-between messenger when he is in prison.	2007-01-22 19:22
1995 Chevrolet K-2500 Silverado The Sopranos (1999-2007)	That's right, this page was originally for the red truck, but then I thought it was better to have the green truck as the main image, so I swapped them.	2007-01-22 19:17
1985 Chevrolet Caprice Estate Wagon The Sopranos (1999-2007)	Is it correct to call this Chevy "Estate"? I thought that term was just used by us English.	2007-01-22 19:14
Caterpillar CB-534C Smooth Drum Roller The Sopranos (1999-2007)	Tony tries to get hold of Vito on his cellphone, but Vito has discarded it and it happens to be picked up by some road worker. They briefly argue ("that's right telephone tough-guy, put Vito on the phone, asshole!") and then the worker tosses the phone in the path of this road roller which crushes it.	2007-01-22 19:11
1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Stretched Limousine Houseguest (1995)	Isn't it better to keep the model name eg. "DeVille Stretched Limousine" so we know what it was based on, instead all Cadillac stretches being called Custom Stretch Limousine. There are tons of Lincoln limos listed as Town Car Stretched instead of Lincoln Custom Stretched.	2007-01-22 18:50
1979 Chevrolet Malibu Sport Coupe Frankie and Johnny (1991)	The white coupe.	2007-01-22 17:36
1988 Chrysler New Yorker Frankie and Johnny (1991)	The blue sedan gets accidentely bumped into by the white Jeep, the drivers get out and start fighting the way New Yorkers do in films. I think it's a Dodge Dynasty.	2007-01-22 17:31
MCI MC-9 Frankie and Johnny (1991)	Frankie (Michelle Pfeiffer) rides on this bus when she goes to visit her family, then again when she returns to New York during the opening credits sequence, which takes up the first five minutes of the film. 2 or 3 stars?	2007-01-22 17:28
1956 Chevrolet Two-Ten Townsman One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)	I just replaced the old image with one where the Chevy was closer to the camera.	2007-01-22 15:53
1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Stretched Limousine Houseguest (1995)	If a car has been customized into a stretch limo by a private coachbuilder, we add "Strectched Limousine" onto the name. Unless it's something like the Mercedes 600 Pullman which was built that way in the factory.	2007-01-22 15:03
1989 Bentley Mulsanne S Houseguest (1995)	Maybe a Bentley Eight, it looks like it has that chicken-wire grille.	2007-01-22 15:01
1963 Austin Cambrian A60 [ADO38A] Five Easy Pieces (1970)	Part of the movie was filmed on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.	2007-01-21 18:57
