36. Awesome ride.

:thumbsup:

[Taverner]

3. GAZ 3110 Volga

Bourne Supremacy

May not look like much, but then you must've never driven one

I got to drive one and the torque on that thing could rip the chrome off of a bumper

[ohiosmith]

5. Is that a quote from the movie or your comment?

:hi:

[Taverner]

9. My comment :)

And the one I drove in Laos was beat all to hell too...

[ohiosmith]

11. Good enough to be movie dialogue.

:toast:

[EOTE]

67. Weren't the 31XXs all 4 bangers?

Granted, there were a couple of diesels, but nothing I'd consider a stump puller. After driving a number of V8 powered European saloons, it's hard to consider just about any four banger to be torquey. Unless, of course, it's in something extremely light weight like a Lotus or Caterham. Now the Volga GAZ-24, that was a torque monster.

[taterguy]

4. Any car driven by Steve McQueen is a great movie car

It's in the Rule Book!

Look it up!

[ohiosmith]

7. You ain't wrong.

[dana_b]

12. the first one that I thought of

10. Kowalski! Fuck'n A!

:fistbump:

[dana_b]

13. I think they used one of those actual cars in this video

(had to have more than one of them)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVXIK1xCRpY

"Show Me How To Live" - Audioslave

[ohiosmith]

15. Won't load. What is it?

[dana_b]

18. hmmm... strange

a youtube video of Audioslave playing "Show Me How To Live" and in the video they basically recreate parts of Vanishing Point - the guy in the radio station, the car chase scenes with the cops, etc. Same car - good video.

[ohiosmith]

20. Thanks. I'll search my YouTube app for it. A lot of stuff won't load on my iPad.

[ohiosmith]

27. Excellent!

:toast:

[dana_b]

28. haha!

glad you saw it. :fistbump:

[7wo7rees]

21. This radio station was named Kowalski

in honour of the last American hero to whom speed means freedom of the soul.

The question is not when's he gonna stop, but who is gonna stop him.

[guitar man]

64. yes indeed!!

The greatest movie car ever!! :bounce:

on a side note, when I came into work yesterday morning, this was parked next door to my office. I just stood there drooling :wow:

19. That's a hoot!

:rofl:

[7wo7rees]

17. TV car OK?

[ohiosmith]

29. Okay!

:thumbsup:

[7wo7rees]

22. TV turned movie?

[ohiosmith]

31. Is that Speed Racer?

[HopeHoops]

35. Weird. I just watched "Speed Racer" last night. I thought they seriously fucked it up.

There was too much flashback/overlay stuff going on and the car racing was just too confusing and took any believability out of it. As I said to my wife, it was a case of a movie based on a TV cartoon where the TV cartoon was more realistic than the movie. It deserved better treatment.

[ohiosmith]

39. Never saw it.

[HopeHoops]

40. The plot was okay, but they just made it too hard to follow and pushed the "stupid" envelope.

Seriously, even in the TV cartoon those jump jacks would have snapped off at anything over 10 mph. They were a CONSTANT feature in the movie.

[7wo7rees]

23. Comic turned movie?

[ohiosmith]

33. I need that.

:thumbsup:

[Cannikin]

43. The ultimate movie car.

Rumor has it, it's been spotted around Philly where they are filming.

[7wo7rees]

26. Stuntman Mike's

Hey, Pam, remember when I said this car was death proof? Well, that wasn't a lie.
This car is 100% death proof. Only to get the benefit of it, honey, you REALLY need to be sitting in my seat.

[ohiosmith]

46. Kurt Russel was great.

[Brother Buzz]

30. Harold and Maude

When Harold fired up the smoke wrench.....he had my full attention

85. The Yellow Rolls Royce

The Yellow Rolls-Royce is a 1964 dramatic composite film written by Terence Rattigan, produced by Anatole de Grunwald and directed by Anthony Asquith, the trio responsible for The V.I.P.s (1963). Apparently adapting an idea from Seven Journeys, a 1947 German drama by Helmut Käutner that had its U.S. premiere in March 1951,<1> The Yellow Rolls-Royce uses a yellow 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II<4> to frame the story of three very different owners: an English aristocrat, a Chicago gangster and a wealthy American widow. It is set in the years up to and including the start of World War II. Prompted by the production team's success with The V.I.P.s, the film boasts a similar all-star cast,<2> including Rex Harrison, Ingrid Bergman, Shirley MacLaine, Omar Sharif, George C. Scott, Art Carney, Alain Delon and Jeanne Moreau.

The soundtrack song "Forget Domani" won Best Original Song at the 23rd Golden Globe Awards.
