RX7_Renesis

Michael Peņa drives a SA RX-7 in the movie A Million Miles Away. A biopic about Jose Hernandez and his path from a farm worker to becoming an engineer and an astronaut.

A tale of perseverance, community and sacrifice to accomplish a seemingly impossible dream .. (which almost sounds like restoring a 1st gen RX-7).

The car colour appears to be Gleam Ivory which is period correct for 1980.

Looks like a 1980 Leather Sport with the gold wheels.

I'm not sure if Gleam Ivory (VE) was an RX-7 color for 1980, maybe Imperial Gold (M4) or Solar (M3)?

After driving it 10+ years Jose gave his 7 to his cousin Beto after he had a bunch of kids and joined NASA in the early 2000's.

Good movie, very inspirational. Watch it on Amazon prime.video.

Bored in my hotel room tonight so rewatched Terminator 2. Realized 10 mins in that it’s superb territory for finding RX7s. No confirmed sightings though, closest was something that turned out to be a Fiat X19.

First couple minutes of "Die Hard". Takes a somewhat quick eye.

Believe it or not, there is an RX7 in an episode of Little House on Prairie.

Go watch some Fall Guy episodes. There is generally an FB somewhere everytime.
Once or twice a bad guy would drive one in the first season.

There was a movie staring the "Rock" that was partially filmed in Vancouver. It was a "towering inferno" genre film that bombed. Bunch of local FD were called out to be part of a street scene. I don't know if the scene made it into the movie. But we got local guys posting pics of the filming.

Not exactly a show or a movie, but the SA makes a few appearances in this Army Training video around the 12 minute mark

The movie was called "Skyscraper". The trailer does not have a street scene. I suppose we'd have to look through the whole movie.

1981 Absence of Malice. Sally Field's car is an FB. Don't have a screen shot right now but I'll try to find one.
It appears several times usually parked I think.
Hell of a movie, it's aged well. Still relevant, good story and lots of good actors.
One of Paul Newman's better movies.

Great thread ! I'm always watching for RX's and sporty cars in old movies.
