Favorite movie with a mopar in it?

[TPR]

Don't believe I've heard of that one.

2008 movie made for TV. It's available on dvd. Not the best movie but I've seen worse and the charger is in it from beginning to end........

I'd never heard of it either. Just did a search on YouTube to try and find a bit of the movie and instead found this:

Is he claiming that this is the actual Charger from the movie, now in Australia???

News to me. 
You'll find a copy in you local dvd rental shop I'm sure. That's where I first got hold of it.

Can someone tell me at what point in time does the 69 Daytona appear in Two Lane Blacktop?
I have it on DVD but have never noticed a Daytona in it. I am wondering whether I have some cut down version where the scene has been removed.
I am presuming it is gold or light bronze with a black wing, because I have a 1:18 diecast of it with TLB graphics on the box.
Cheers,

Tried to find some pics of it, this is the only one I could find.

Thanks Fred, I'll have to hire it along with 'Drive Angry' as I'm yet to see that too.

Do you know, I've watched that movie a hundred times and I can't recall. Might be time to pull it out again over the weekend.

"Drive Angry" is definitely worth a watch. Good movie. 

[GOTWING]

TPR, the very very begining Big Willies Daytona lines up with a red AAR Cuda on the sreet at night to race. Then later on James Taylor says "that Cuda had a hemi with a torqueflight" how stupid, it was a AAR Cuda..

Ah, that explains it. The version I have on my PVR has the first few minutes missing. Checked my DVD copy, (which I hadn't opened yet) and there it is. That Big Willie Red Daytona is difficult to miss.
All this time I was looking for this Gold/Black Daytona. Can't explain why ERTL produced it with the TLB graphics.



Thanks GOTWING

Maybe it was a different Cuda?  I remember the Daytona racing the AAR but I can't remember if the 55 Chevy was lined up against the AAR or not.  Now I have an excuse to watch it again.

[Fred]

Watched it last night and the Daytona is right at the beginning (very first race) so if you haven't settled in, you'd miss it. The Chevy's up next facing off with the Cuda.

Enjoyed watching the '68 charger in "Crash & Burn" last night. 

Watchin it now i remember this i watched it when it came out.

[brigond]

I haven't had a chance to read the whole thread . So  someone may have mentioned this. There was a challenger in a horror movie called fantasim .

It rarely gets a mention. Not sure whether that's due to the fact that not many people know about it or they know about it but feel it's not worth a mention.  

[1974dodgecharger]

It's not a bad movie they copied fast and furious and gone in 60 sec and mashed it together. The thing to me was the charger was not significant that placed no emphases on it unlike fans the charger meant a lot to Dom and talked about it in very deeply.

To me the scene in the garage was significant and very believable and how he overcame his fear at the end made the movie.

I do believe you're right.

[nvrbdn]

New movie called "Nobody" with Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) features an old white Challenger reminiscent of the one in Vanishing Point. Saw preview the other day. Looks like a decent action movie.

Hi Folks,               15 May 2022

Thought we'd chime in with our favorite: Bullit. Dodge Charger and Steve McQueen.

It was a fun movie but like all the others, they either had idiots for technical advisors or they had qualified ones that were ignored.
One phrase in the movie was something to the effect of....."Its a 4.9 liter V8".
Not even close. No classic Mopar used metric sizes to describe their engines and even then, none were a 4.9 liter size.
