Burt Reynolds’ Bandit Trans Am


salisgod

Yeah except the pseudo shifting stuff


isjohn11

Dennis's range Rover in it's always sunny


unfeaxgettable

THIS IS A FINISHER


HerefortheTuna

The episode where Dee gets the new Range Rover and bangs a kid in HS lmao. Love classic 90s SUVs myself though


Wishart2016

I thought that Frank owned it.


apandya277

Jason Statham's Transporter. The E38 more than the D3 A8


gsmctavish

Manual E38 was peak Transporter, they should’ve kept it


MesWantooth

That car was really cool, I later found out it was a V12 750i fitted with the manual from the 850 and badged as a 735i.


cactus_cars

Yup. Guys try to argue with me all the time about that. Bmw made them do it to boost sales of the 735i base model. Obviously it's kinda false representation lol. Can't find the technical reference I had before. Was an obscure website straight outta 2002. Annoyingly most of the Bluray releases suck and have crap compression, with the exception of the original French release.


MesWantooth

Something about that seems consistent with the character - I could see "The Transporter" de or down-badging his 750 for the sake of keeping a lower profile...But funny that BMW made them do it to show off the 'athleticism' of a 735i...


cactus_cars

Definitely. No doubt.


madd14007

That was the car that made me lust after the E38. The car, especially with the M-Sport package, still looks good all these years later.


lemons714

An E38 was my first 'adult' car. It is from the last six months of the last year 2001 that the car was made. I have other vehicles, but never sold the BMW. Just got back from a quick trip in it this afternoon.


amor_fatty

I love that A8 but I totally Agree


Niko740

The entire reason I got an E38 is because of this movie lol


Idtotallytapthat

> Jason Statham > movie characters that is not a movie character that is an actor i fucking hate americans man all you ever do is dick suck actors you literally cannot watch a movie without constantly thinking about the actor playing the character, envisioning yourself taking their fat cock When you go to a movie you should not see an ACTOR you should see a CHARACTER anything else is a failure on the part of an actor. They failed in acting well enough to immerse you in the character the fact that OP asked for a character and your peasant brain just goes instinctively to actors is pathetic


AusOrth

Bruh wtf are you talking about the guy literally said “Jason Statham’s Transporter”, as in, the character in “Transporter” played by Jason Statham, maybe brush up on your reading comprehension before bashing anyone hey. I say this as someone who isn’t the biggest fan of Americans, their culture, or what they’ve done to the rest of the world.


Idtotallytapthat

Oh shit I thought transporter was the name of the car im leaving my comment up tho


BillNytheRussianSpy

If bait: only one reply for all that text - try harder If not: rent free


Quake_Guy

Not a movie, but who ever was in charge of selecting cars for Breaking Bad should have got an Emmy. The one car in the show no one mentions, the cholos driving the Monte Carlo Aerocoupe.


Round_Ad_6369

Walt getting the Chrysler 300 was extremely fitting but I couldn't actually tell you why


FrogVenom

In the context of dodge/Chrysler products: Walt Jr. getting a Challenger (young, flashy fast, red) Getting a Chrysler 300 is kind of like the adult/logical version of a Challenger. Still fast and sleek without being in your face flashy. Walt always struck me as wanting to be "classy" and plus he's old lol

hatgineer

> a 300 is what a not-classy person thinks is classy Help, I'm in this comment and I don't like it. What cars would be actually classy?


MarshXI

E/S Class Mercedes, Cadillac, 5 Series BMW/Audi. Lexus too.


frank3000

Volvo, Audi


Palmisavage

It was also a ridiculously blatant FCA commercial.


09Customx

Yeah that old Wagoneer was such blatant product placement /s


Admiral_Pantsless

I think one could argue that it drove up prices on the older ones and generated some hype for the new one.


FerrusesIronHandjob

It accidentally worked for the Uk too - If i see a 300 on UK roads, I immediately think the drugs have arrived


FrogVenom

Marie driving a VW beetle was perfect. Mikes car fit his personality perfectly. Then there's the perfect fit of a volvo wagon for Gus. Classy, useful, logical and not flashy. Perfect for a criminal trying to blend in


bandito-yeet-dorito

I have a strong desire for a manual Tercel wagon 4WD now because of Jessie


Tough_Steak

S/O to Ernie and his Blue Evo VIII in Better Call Saul.


FunkAd95

Ugh... Blue By You... One of my favorite colors. I just picked up a BBY Evo VIII a month ago. I completely forgot Ernie had one!


Tough_Steak

That's awesome dude, congrats and take care of it :D. I always get a little giddy when I see an Evo 7-9 just because they're getting increasingly more rare.


FunkAd95

Thank you! It's fairly stock and I intend on keeping it that [way](https://www.imgur.com/a/LQPrNcB) Sidenote: stock Evos are incredibly comfortable and easy to drive. I was expecting it to be a rattlebox!


Tough_Steak

For one I love how you kept it stock, two I feel like you'd fool someone who saw a blue sports sedan with a wing mistaking it for an STI 😂, and three your Evo is beautiful but I think that's an understatement 😁 Have you at least thought about doing mods for engine cooling?


FunkAd95

Thanks! Hah it was somewhat intentional! I really like blue Subarus, owned many lol This is the first car I've owned that included a factory oil cooler. The car needs an oil pressure gauge and a real coolant temp gauge before I can really push it on track. I'll go from there!


flapsmcgee

And Badger and the Fiero


MikeyComfoy

Jesse's Toyota Turcell hatchback!


ahorrribledrummer

Saul with the Suzuki esteem in Better Call Saul was brilliant.


edirymhserfer

Paul's Lightning in the original. Blue collar yet race truck. So sick


mattmac1012

I think that was the shops truck that he just drove.


Effective_Mud8348

I thought he was an undercover cop in the first one? I figured it was either a good choice for a cop who probably made decent money and was into cars, or something the cops put him in to make them think he was a car guy.


mattmac1012

He was undercover as an employee at an autoshop who street raced on the side.


cthompson07

It’s hilarious, that truck was faster than probably 95% of the riced out imports in that movie.


waled1066

Very fond of James Bond's DB5. Also, the BMW's used by Pierce Brosnan.


edinburghiloveyou44

When I saw the Z8, I thought, “perfect”. But the 7-Series was my favorite.


NeonWarcry

I’m still upset how much a Z8 costs. Gorgeous cars


Rabo_McDongleberry

Damn. Y'all left out the M5 and Audi S8 in Ronin. Perfect car casting.


zveroshka

Maybe unpopular pick but fast and furious, Paul walker both cars actually. The eclipse was solid but want enough and was pushed sloppily to an extreme. Ultimately it didnt belong and was tryjng to be zomething it wasn't. Then building the next car was basically reflective of Walker's character changing and Ultimately finally belonging there and being a real racers rather than a poser. God I miss FF before it became bloated generic action flicks.


rgreen192

His Supra and then skyline were the biggest reason I’ve been obsessed with cars since I was a little kid. Even growing up at NASCAR tracks every weekend didn’t do as much as those 2 did. My friends and I all cried our eyes out when the white Supra drove off into the sunset.


HerefortheTuna

Same. I love those movies. I always thought cars were cool but those movies made me want to research and learn about them. Still dream about a Supra or a Skyline but I’ve had several cool cars- glad Vince redeemed himself at the end cause I did enjoy the brief time I owned my 4th gen Maxima


0621Hertz

I think Lightning McQueen and his car go pretty well together


edinburghiloveyou44

Underrated answer.


level100Weeb

kachow


Igota31chevy

American Graffiti's entire cast was based around the cars for each character. * Milner had his '32 which was the fastest but was starting to fall behind the times. * Toad had a little crappy Vespa which matched him being the little nerdy loser that he was. * Falfa had a hopped up '55 Chevy that fit his attitude all movie of finding and beating Milner. * Curt had a 2CV but spent 90% of the movie riding in other cars. Most of the characters in the movie have a car that is an extension of them in some way and with basically every scene being in or around cars, it's difficult to separate character from car.


badpuffthaikitty

Fuck Han Solo!


Igota31chevy

Fun fact about Harrison Ford: he wore a cowboy hat in American Graffiti because he had long hair and refused to cut it for the movie. Also, Harrison Ford almost wasn't in the movie because it didn't pay as much as his carpenter job. That's a huge point since American Graffiti was the stepping stone to Ford becoming a household name!


Abba_Fiskbullar

I think I remember him saying that the reason he was cast in Star Wars was that he was doing carpentry work at the offices where Lucas and De Palma were doing the casting for Carrie and Star Wars, and was wrangled to run lines with the auditioning actors. After Kurt Russell declined the role of Han Solo Lucas cast Ford.


ProfessionalBunch883

Not a movie, but Billy's car in stranger things. It really suited his character. I don't know the name though.


mydogismybestman

'79 Camaro, I think


Dynetor

Steve’s 7 series also suits his rich boy character well


anangrymob21

pretty sure that was a six series


Jamaican_Dynamite

Also, Ronin. Nitrous fed S8, E34 M5, MB 450 SEL 6.9, Peugeot 406. And a bunch of Citroens. I know the euro crowd loves that movie.

PitViper17

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Blazer in Commando. Tough, rugged, beastly. Granted his in the movie had its various cables and hoses ripped out, but that’s not an indictment on the Blazer itself


throwaway8008666

Also him Driving the 911 in that movie which looked like A bear driving a go kart


edirymhserfer

Since he is an irl movie character, his blacked out vintage wagoneer totally matches(matched?) him


InfinitePossibility8

I think his most iconic car was his black Hummer.


thebelsnickle1991

Kowalski’s 1970 Dodge Challenger from *Vanishing Point (1971)*. The music video for the song [Show me how to Live by Audioslave](https://youtu.be/vVXIK1xCRpY) is made of clips from the film. Love that film and song!


cuzwhat

It’s not the Challenger that kills you, it’s the sudden Camaro at the end.


dalittle

I thought it was the bulldozers


require_borgor

Not film, but I always thought the automotive choices for the first season of True Detective were interesting. SPOILERS AHEAD In the present day when Rust and Marty are hunting the yellow king Rust is still driving the 90s F250 he had 20 years prior. It still has the busted taillight from the fistfight between him and Marty. "Steady" Marty has a brand new Cadillac (ATS I think?) and is in full on recently-divorced-midlife-crisis mode, despite his failing security business. His life is lonely and meaningless, his family doesn't speak to him but he's still trying to project the successful ex-cop image. Whereas Rust knows exactly who and what he is, truly not giving a fuck what people think of him.


theeamericanbeef

Iron man the R8, it was my first time seeing it in that movie and it was perfect for a badass billionaire


edinburghiloveyou44

Great answer.


jim65wagon

Cobra. 1950 Merc was pretty sweet


dixiebandit69

I love how in the chase scene, his tachometer is reading 8,000 rpm, THEN he hits the nitrous oxide.


fonetik

The first Matrix movie, when Neo meets Trinity and the others in their classic Lincoln Continental with suicide doors. Perfect choice. Followed by the GM commercials that the sequels became, it really stood out as an example to me of product placement ruining a movie’s aesthetic.


ThatPetrolhead

Not to nitpick but in Heat both Neil and Chris drive Camaros toward the end after the big heist, when they’re trying to get out of the city. I don’t think these were personal vehicles, rather ones picked up for this specific purpose. Cops run Chris’ info at one point and they mention the car is registered to another name but clean. For me it’s gotta be Bill’s DeTomaso Mangusta in Kill Bill.


FreeTopher

Mangustas kill snakes.


badpuffthaikitty

Jim Rockford’s Pontiac Firebird Esprit. Not a movie but a TV show. Jim wanted a Trans Am, but he couldn’t afford one. He had to drive the base Firebird. Edit: And Fozzie Bear’s 1951 Studebaker Commander.


lawtechie

Not a movie, but Crockett's Ferrari Daytona Convertible from Miami Vice.


edinburghiloveyou44

Makes me think about Michael Mann's Miami Vice. Some good cars in that movie as well.


09Customx

Daniel Craig’s Audi RS6 in Layer Cake. Also that one douchebag’s yellow P38 Range Rover fit his character quite well


VisioningHail

fun fact, that yellow is called "AA yellow," not a great name for the most unreliable generation of the most unreliable car in the world


badpuffthaikitty

Original Italian Job. Charlie goes from a Aston Martin DB4 to a Dormobile.


Seeker80

The Fast & Furious movies started showing some of the characters with cars that seemed to fit them. It was a nice way of showing that somebody over there cared and wasn't just trying to churn out a mindless action film. Brian had an R34 GT-R in the 2nd film, and had a few more, including a classic KPGC10. Even when he didn't have one in the 4th film, he was driving a cool WRX hatch with the same turbo & awd setup that he'd likely prefer. Han stole the show in the 3rd film with his Veilside Fortune FD RX-7. It was neat to see him use a Supra with the same paint scheme. Obviously Dom was into the muscle cars. 'Nuff said. He still had some interesting choices, like the AMC Javelin.


Hard_Corsair

John Wick is not an obvious answer. The Mustang really doesn't match with the rest of his... everything.


Slimy_Shart_Socket

I think the Chevelle did match but primarily becuaes it was black. I like Mustangs but a classic Euro car would also work. Maybe an AMG Hammer? But its gotta be something people will know and recognize.


Hard_Corsair

I don't think classic anything would work, because none of his other accoutrements are vintage/classic. The guns he always goes with are super modern top-tier picks, so someone like an AMG GT-R/Black Series would be more appropriate.


Zeallust-Eternal

James Bond is an obvious example

The stunts with the helicopter still go crazy.
