sammymatik yeap I saw that movie and it was really bad but about the only nice car was the rx7...hahaha

talk about bad cars in that movie..the bad guy's "nice" car was an old porsche that got blown up. What a bad movie....thank God a friend of mine lend it to me and I didn't have to pay for it.

yeah n the original gone in 60 sec u see rotary p/u too and a bunch of 3s n the show room, i always say when im watching it watch out for those cars..

DeRFmAn 02-02-06 06:06 AM

in that one movie with mark wahlberg with all the mini's, can't think of the name. Anyway at the end when they mess up the lights there are 2 rx7s one fb one fc same color. if i remember correctly. also in die hard at the very beginning when the truck pulls in there is an rx7 on screen, you can just barely tell cause its dark, but if you know fb you know its one.

one (fb) in line to race in cannonball run when the 2 guys drive there truck into the hotel.

Tsi_Xtreme 02-02-06 07:15 AM

"Redline" has some really nicely modded FB's and rx3's in it however the movie sucks balls

Dan_s_young 02-02-06 07:58 AM

Not a movie, but it a episode of reno 911 there is a RX7 clearly sitting in the background! I just thought that was kinda cool.

LokiRx7.1 02-02-06 08:02 AM

I dont know if anyone else has seen it, but in a ton of seinfeld episodes when they switch to an outside view of his apartment, its usually dark when they do it, but I think its a red 7 I dont know for sure havent seen it in awhile so it might not be red. but it sits dead center of the side of the street so you see the car clearly for about three seconds.

An episode of COPS involves a small chase of a brown FB because the driver actually nailed a bicycle cop in the legs! The filming vehicle arrived late on the scene so you don't see the actual chase, just the deputies kicking the guy's skinny ass!

I thought it was hilarious, but it also made me think, has there ever been a chase scene involving an 1st gen?

That reminds me, In the Gumball 3000 documentary there are 2 FB's racing in Australia.

Another episode where this guy got stabbed in the head with a screwdriver at a gas station (OUCH!) a brown SA pulls up to get gas.

it's The Italian Job, the new one. I didnt catch that but at one point when they re-rout the armored trucks through traffic, there is a shot showing an intersection and theres an FB just to the left of the center of the screen. The camera moves up though so you dont see it for too long. Then you can see the same one from different aerial shots etc.

The only other one I caught was the Pulp Fiction one, where its on a trailer behind them after The Wolf drives away in the NSX.

openshot 02-02-06 08:08 PM

i think there is a 1st gen in the italian job? it is in the new one not the old one. i love both the old and new. i think i have seen it in the trafic jam where the banker truck go's right it is a white one hard to see.

jonjonwells 02-02-06 11:37 PM

OK, I got this one. Bring It On. I know its a chick flick kinda, but if you look closely during the car wash scene, you will be able to see 2 sweet ass 7s. Trust me, they are hard to see. hehehe

justint5387 02-02-06 11:47 PM

Matrix reloaded in the trinity bike scene, there is a grey FB on the fast lane on one of the overhead scene...

peccas 02-03-06 12:30 AM

i saw twp rotaries
 
in the new remake of the italian job.theres a scene were the crew is going to highjack the bank truck.the scene takes place on the street as soon as the traffic lights fail. you can first see a fc and then you can spot a fb.my girlfriend thought i was lame when i asked her to rewind the dvd.she asked me if i was for real. i think women dont apreciate the rotary like we men do..

no_name 02-03-06 04:28 PM

LMAO was just watching that movie yesterday lol. And I did the same thing

SPERRYsan 07-01-08 05:25 PM

I also noticed one in the severely corny 80's movie with arnold shwazanegger - Commando. It is in the parking garage when they leave the airport and in the parking garage at the mall, both are silver and are probably the same car.... and garage for that matter, (hollywood corner-cutting). I know I know, get a life, you have too much time on your hands, etc, I just notice shit in the backgrounds of my favorite movies is all. Let me know if you guys have spotted 1st gens in the movies.


There is a real nice clip of a 1st gen in the movie "Cujo"----I think that's what it's called. Its that movie about the dog that goes mad.

butros 07-01-08 08:16 PM

White first gen in front of the police station in that crappy tom hanks movie "Turner and Hooch"

john smack 07-04-08 11:58 AM

First Gen in the nutty professor parked outside his apartment on one of the night scenes.
I havent seen the movie in years but i remember that there was a Rx-7 outside his apartment

[QUOTE=AdrenalifeRX7;1346789]I know there is an FB in one of the Howling movies with the Werewolves and all. It's silver I think and this guy rescues this chick from all the werewolves and he hauls ass with it. Slams on the brakes and kind of drifts. The car gets blown up and like destroyed by werewolves later on. It was cool and tragic. I don't know which Howling movie it was..might be the first or second one.[/QUOTE

I just saw this movie (Howling 1 and it's an SA btw), I love the scene when the guy with the SA is at the gas station and tells the guy in front of him to hurry up and he replies "take it easy buddy not everyone can afford a Mazda" or something along those lines

That's actually a Z31 300ZX.

In one of the first seasons, when there's a party on Long Island, an establishing shot outside the house is clearly an SA22
