I've got the super unknown 1st gen spot in a movie. Its in "Twins" with danny devito and AHHHHHHNOLD. When Devito goes to the chop shop near the beginning of the movie and he's talking to his contact, right next to the fence is an fb. Sorry to thread hijack but I didn't think it was worth a whole new thread, so I waited until another inevitable 1st gen on tv thread started.
Respekt

In Commando in the garage scene where Arnold rips the seat out of the little red car there are two 1st gens in the parking garage. I love looking for rx7s in older movies

Nice job Sun Red, facts are always more fun than gossip. But I don't see our Jeffrey's movie listed in there.

There was also an old episode of COPS with John Walsh, were they were either driving or chasing a white FB.....cant rememeber which,but it was very prominent.

And of course the FB in DieHard,I think it was an SE....
And what was that movie where the nurse is murdered in the parking lot near a 1st gen?......Striking Distance, I think?.......

That episode of COPS when they were chasing that brown first gen was hillarious. The host kept talking it up. Saying how it was 240 horsepower if I remember right. WE WISH. Even at 100 it was still walking away from those cruisers.
