Exclamation Countach in MOVIES!

There is one I can't find. Movies that is.
I know Lambo's are in Cannonball Run 1 & 2.
Speed Zone(John Candy) / Also considered to be Cannonball Run 3(I think).
There was also a movie where this young guy is persuaded to buy a Countach and every hollywood Luxury possible for the car so he buys it, gets screwed and blows up all the Lambos in the end. WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THIS FLICK??? It's been years but I recall the cars to be Lambo's (Countach). PLEASE HELP...........must find name.......can't go on..........must ........find............

Hello,

if I'm not mistaking this was 'it takes two', where this guy travels to Dallas to buy a 'replica' Countach.
He ends up with just about every option in the book and buys the car on monthly payments, naturally it brakes down at once and he gets stuck in Dallas.

At the end he actually races against a Dino replica and blows up the dealership, oh yes, he also marries the salesperson that actually sold the car to him, a blonde girl that also starred in the series 'Dallas' if I got it right.

I had this one on tape but lost it while moving to another house, would love to get it on DVD though.

Mark

I think the opening scene of Rain Man had a bunch of Countachs being delivered to a dock. I bought the Canonball Run 1 and 2 DVD's just for the Countach scenes.

Canonball One: It is a kit car. I saw it and almost bought it 5 years ago.

the car in the cannonball run 1 was not a kit car. it is owned, to this day by ron rice, owner of hawaiin tropic. the red countach in the cannonball run part 2 was owned by john schneider, from the dukes of hazzard.

it is totally impossible that the car in cannonball run 1 is a kit car!
dont you hear the sound?
that type of sound only one car can produce it and its the countach!
and i think all the kit cars are fitted with big block v8/s and a v8 will never produce a sound like that!
maybe the guy that was selling that "CANNONBALL" countach invented that to make people buy it!
and maybe he thought "well nobody knows about this cars so lets sell it like the cannonball car!
thats my opinion!

Here's a few more non stock wings. some are mounted on replicas. I actually like the look of the aftermarket wing on the GTR, of course it's for racing. Incredibly Fine!!!!!

The link showing a list of movies above is 3 years old so it doesn't show Fear of Speed ( yet ? ).

A yahoo group FEAROFSPEED has 60 pics from the movie. If you join the group, they email 30 of the pictures to you.

With a little searching, I am sure you can find a movie clip somewhere showing the scene with the Countach. It shows a nice young couple...ah...playing..on the hood of the speeding car.
