"Charger" in movies?

Now we have a great big list of Chargers that have appeared in movies, but what about the movies where they actually say the word "Charger" in reference to the car. How many are there and what are they??

From what I remember....

Corvette Summer
Guy in lowrider picks up Mark Hamil and asks him what kind of cars he is into... something like "Nova? Camaro? Charger?"

Big Fish
Son is taking his dad out of the hospital and says something like "And there was your old red Charger, but it was new, brand new."

Two Lane Blacktop
Two guys in the Chevy have a '70 Charger tailgaiting them and one of them says something like "It looks like one of those new Chargers."

Anyone have any more? I don't think it was used in DMCL, or Buillitt, and in all of the DOH episodes I've seen, I don't ever remember hearing the word.
"This was the dedication of the altar, in the day when it was anointed, by the princes of Israel: twelve chargers of silver, twelve silver bowls, twelve spoons of gold..." -- Numbers 7:84 KJV

As a matter of fact,  in a DOH episode...the one with Cale Yarborough....they wanted to create a diversion from Rosco.  They needed three Chargers.   They had the General Lee, Cale's car (69 Charger...white) and from the words of Cooter  "I have a Charger just like it out back, but if you go over 50 miles an hour, the radiator goes  ""PSSSSSSSSHHHH"   So they had General "A",  General "B", and General "C"...the real General Lee....As narrated by Waylon.   So...the word  "Charger"  WAS used in a Dukes episode.   I know...lots of time on my hands huh?...lol

they also say "Charger" in the episode "Happy Birthday General Lee" i can't remember exaclty when though
Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....

That's true also...the episode where they tell the story of how they acquired the General Lee......And the bag of gold that was stashed in the dash.....Damn!!!...I forgot about that one!!!

In DMCL the police say "Charger" a few times.

Oh yeah, the one cop that asks "Did a Dodge Charger do that?" and the fellow responds "Yeah, umm... well I think so. All I saw was a yellow flash."

also they say on the radio ''the suspects switched to a 1969 dodge charger'' and ''in pursuit of a light green charger''

I alway remembered the Dukes refering to the car as the general rather than as a charger?
1969 Dodge Charger 500 440/727
1970 Challenger convertible 340/727
1970 Plymouth Duster FM3
1974 Dodge Dart /6/904
1983 Plymouth Scamp GT 2.2 Auto
1950 Dodge Pilot house pick up

when waylon was narrating, he said, "some call it fate, others call it dukes luck. But something led them to that junk yard and that old black wreck of a charger".  The old looking wino that was running the junk yard called it "a black 68 coupe"

I think in Ron Howards Grand Theft Auto Movie, Charger was mentioned as he drives a black 68 threw the Car Dealership showroom Window? LEON.
