FB movie sighting

Well it seems to have become a trend to post FB sightings in movies, so here's mine.

Paid in Full, at the very begining while the cars are passing on the strip, at the bottom of the screen you see a beautiful FB.

The movie itself takes place in '85--'86, kind of like scar-face for black people, matter of fact the movie has a scene where they're watching scar-face. I give the movie a 9 out of 10 for realism, good story, and good actors.

I agree. All the cars are either exotics, k-cars, trucks, or 70's boats. I would love a nice SA of FB for running from the cops. Of course it would smoke before you even hit anything.

There's a white FB in the 80's movie 'Who Is Harry Crumb' or something like that. I always love spotting rx7's in movies.

I was watching the show Cops the other day and they ambushed a drug house that had a black 1st gen in the driveway with some funky looking wooden wing.

There's a charcoal gsl-se in the movie Striking Distance. It's when the nurse gets kidnapped (it's her car).

I saw the Matrix:Reloaded... and I saw no FB... I don't believe that there was one in the movie because if you watch it, every single car in the movie is a GM product... without fail. There is NO FB in the new Matrix movie.

I'll vouch for the FB in the matrix reloaded. I watched it last night. I only saw the car because someone pointed it out earlier and i was looking for it. If you blink you will miss it. Right after Trinty turns around on the expressway going into traffic riding the motorcycle. it's on the far other side of the freeway. All i caught was a glipse of the windsheild. But its there!

Yah, i'm pretty sure i saw 2 FB's, the grey one with louvers, then the FC, then another white FB with louvers turning left at the same stoplight....

Maybe just wishful thinking though.

I also saw one that drove by in a COPS episode. I believe the cops were pulling someone over, and as they got out of the car, one drove right past them in the same direction.

"problem child" with john ritter had a fb in it. nice shots also

"Lucky numbers" with john travolta had a FC I believe

The BBC's "walking with dinosaurs" making of DVD has a Fc. ( although I need to double check to make sure that is really what I saw)

Cannonball Run wit burt rynolds has a SA that is there during registration.

Fastgetaway with corey feldman has a opening scene featuring a FD.

There was an episode of the Blodhoud gang on the PBS show 3..2..1.. contact that had a few shots of an FB in a parking garage

The suduction of jennifer has a FB in it. ( I have tried to find this and have not yet. look in your XXX movies for this one.
