CougarTim ◊ 2008-04-18 14:27	This is a Sam Raimi film. This is his 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Holiday Sedan that appears in every movie he makes.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-04-18 16:53	Oui, CougarTim a dit que c'est la voiture de Sam Raimi.
antp ◊ 2008-04-18 16:54	I guess that in all movies it is not especially is own car, as it is pretty damaged in Spider-Man if I remember well
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-04-18 17:20	I read that there were doubles for the car in Spider-Man but that was a big-budget blockbuster. In Raimi's earlier films it probably is always his own car.
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2008-04-18 18:29	And that had to be the case in this one because the car gets pretty banged up in the car chase, it actually rolls onto its side...
Skid ◊ 2008-04-19 00:04	I'm currently reading Bruce Campbell's autobiography, and he claims that Sam Raimi has about seven or eight of these things at any given moment, but always uses his original as a "picture car." This film was the first one in which he ever used stand-in cars for the stuntwork, although his original "classic" was also damaged a bit making this one, and they had to spend about $2,000 to get it running again to make his next film, "Evil Dead 2." By Sam Raimi's own admission, only about 20% of his Oldsmobile is still original, due to the amount of damage it has sustained in various films.
