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.

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

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.

Ok, this may be kinda lame, but I am a movie buff, and ever since I got my 1st Gen I have noticed them in the backgrounds of movies, like in the kick *** movie pulp fiction (one of my favorites) When they take the "dirty" car that the black kid marvin got shot in to Monster Joes Truck and Tow, there is a blue 1st gen on a car trailer in the background when they are standing out front. 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 **** 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.
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 *** 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

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