Sorry lads, but i thought i'd get us all in on this one. Name a film with a PORSCHE in it, see how good your memory is.

48 Hours........................Eddie Murphy has a late 50's Speedster.
A Life Less Ordinary....A gold 928 in the garage at the dentist's house.
A Time to Kill...............Sandra Bullock drives a dark green 356 cabriolet.
Against All Odds...........Ferrari 308GTS and 911SC Cabrio street race.
American Dreamer........A slate gray '64 356SC cabriolet.
American Psycho...........Running from cops, Bale passes a mid '80's 911 Targa.
Arthur............................Dudley drives a 924GTU, plus some 911s in other scenes.

etc...........I cheated. Honestly couldn't think of any specifics. There are a lot of bad 80 movies with Porsches though. There was a trend of having main characters who were rich doctors and lawyers. The movies always eem to start out with them cruising on a california highway, top down, music up in a Porsche, Ferrari, etc.

Weird Science...........Black 928 and the red ferrari

I think I saw a Porsche in a trailer for some new crappy looking film. Don't remember the name.

Wait, I think it was wicker park. Just thought I caught a glimpse of some Porsche headlights out of the corner of my eye durring commercials.

How about the 911 in 'Patriot Games'? You know, the one that the terrorists shoot up and it crashes. Yea, well maybe not.

How about the 928 that Tom Cruise's Risky Business?

Risky business, good one

Scarface.........928 that he buys at the dealer when he pulls in the money

Wasn't that a VW Carmen Giha?

You guys are missing the most obvious movie that Porsche was the star in - 24 Hours of Le Mans with Steve McQueen. It starred Steve and the Porsche 917 (not necessarily in that order). This is one of racing aficionado's favorite movies.

Second to that has to be Risky Business with the famous tag line "Porsche, there is no substitute." (but you did mention that one).

[eohrnberger]

Good call. But htere must be more. Porsche is one of the most famous car EOMs of all time.

There are lots. i found a whole list of em', but I'm trying to do this by memory. My memory sucks.

It may have been the karmann ghia. Like I said, been a loooooooooong time. As in I was probably 12 and an absolute car idiot at the time. I think one was red and another yellow..............


Ok, looked it up. Rae Dong Chong drives a Red Series V Alpine (though one site called it a Austin Healy Sprite). Sully drives a Yellow 911.

[pearldrum944]

There is a site somwhere on the net where most of them were listed. There are hundreds of them.

The yellow one was a 911 with the rubbish editing, one minute it was crashed the next new again, and the red one was as he said a Austin Healy Sprite.
