RX-Old Movie sighting.

Someone pop in the new DVD release of "Back to the Future"... Part 1, near the beginning, about 20 mins in... Right after the battle of the bands, when Marty and Jennifer are walking through the parking lot, theres a Yellow Mazda that backs out of a parking space. One of the emblems on the back looks like it has a large "R" in it... Either it says RX-something or it's the "Rotary Engine" emblem found on SA22's and older Rotary vehicles... Can anyone Identify this mystery car?

My zoom function provides very little detail.

Ummm, I hate to say this but, that an old HONDA hatchback that's backing out of the parking space. I didn't even zoom in to have to see that. Then again we did own one a long time ago....that might help.

ive seen a beautiful blue rx-7 in a cheezy low budget movied called "Redline" if there was one good reason to rent the movie it would be to see that fb for a split second, other than that the movie is a piece of ****...

Nah.. It said Mazda, I'm sure of it. I didn't have to zoom to see the word Mazda... but I wanted to see the other emblems.

I just saw a commercial for Saiontz, Kirk, and Miles (lawyers) where they show a beautiful white GSL-SE, and then it gets rear ended by an SUV, WTF?

Damn Lawyers....

I hope the commercial was something like..

"Cruising along, showing off in your Mazda? Attracting attention and enjoying your self? Then, a jealous SUV driver dents up your prescious RX-7?

Call us. We work for you. We will track down the owner of that SUV, and beat him senseless. We will force his family into slavery to earn back the cost of damages, and then sign all of their future wages over to you, in a special Mazda tuning account, where you are free to modify your 7 as you please.

...And remember, we don't get paid unless you do. And even then, we will just use the money to buy you more Mazda stuff."

(Paid for by the law offices of Mazda, Rotary, and Wankel)

What about the one in Basic Instinct? Where is it? Someone mentioned that there's a chase scene through the mountains? Who drives it? Michael Douglas has a Mustang in that movie, I believe...

**** you noticed that? Ive seen back to the future like 500 times and never realized it didnt have a dot neck. Good eye!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it was a 335, which I agree, I dont think came out till 57. I still want one of those, but probably an Epi model. My Epi LP cherry sunburst kicks ***! Except for the crappy electronics.

Another one: if you watch the first Die Hard movie there's an early '80s RX7 driving just behind the terrorists trucks as they turn and begin to go into the Nakatome (?) plaza underground parking garage...
