From Cars.com. Did they miss anything? I'm wondering what happened to KITT and the General Lee.



Best:

1981 DeLorean DMC-12, "Back to the Future"
1961 Ferrari 250 GT, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
1974 Dodge Monaco, "The Blues Brothers"
1964 Aston Martin DB5, "Goldfinger"
Batmobile Tumbler, "Batman Begins"
1968 Ford Mustang GT 390, "Bullitt"
1959 Cadillac Ambulance, "Ghostbusters"
1958 Plymouth Fury, "Christine"
1973 Ford Falcon, "The Road Warrior" (pictured)
2003 Mini Cooper S, "The Italian Job"


Worst:

1983 Ford LTD Country Squire, "National Lampoon's Vacation"
1974 Dodge Tradesman, "Napoleon Dynamite"
Winnebago Chieftain, "Spaceballs"
1984 Ford Econoline, "Dumb and Dumber"
1963 Volkswagen Beetle, "Herbie: Fully Loaded"  

I'm going to have to add the classic minis in the original Italian Job, that was a better movie anyway. I also need to add just about every car the was in Le Mans another Steve Mcqueen movie besides Bullit, I could go forever. Do we have room to list every car from Cannonball Run, The Gumball Rally and all the Herbie Movies(Not the last one)

Oh, for the worst list, I am going to have to say every car in days of thunder.  

i think there are some nice ones in Gone in 60 Seconds  

i agree, gone in 60 seconds has too many to list.
best and worst?
fast and furious cars belong in the latter im afraid, the intention was nice and the cars in real life are great, but nitrous, huge gawdy graphics, neon underbody lights????  boy did that one hurt the tuner scene  

hehe yeah, but i really like the 2 Fast 2 Furious Skyline though  

I would have to agree with the above post, the Skyline was pretty sweet.  

What about he Trans Am from Smokey and the bandit or the trans am with nitrous they jump at the end of Hooper?  

i know this is not a movie car, but what about Night Rider!!!! that car was freakin sweet, and according to futurama, his windshield whipers where evil.

i would have to go with the 5 series bemmer from the first transporter, buts thats only cause the car chase in that movie was sweet.

screw fast and furious, they have nothing against normal cars, all show, no go.  

ive said it before and ill say it again.  movies are made in order to make money.  hollywood doesnt care if they upset a few enthusiasts by putting lame graphics on nice cars.  its all about creating a marketable product for them.  its unfortunate that this is the first impression of those living in areas that dont have access to tuners, but hey..

the thing is, those cars in real life were actually really sick. the red rx-7 driven by vin diesel belonged to a friend of mine.  it was making huge power, no graphics.  for the movie, they paid for the veilside body kit and veilside wheels in order to make the car more of a character in the movie.  along came neons, graphics, fake bottles of nitrous, blablabla.

same with the skyline in 2f2f, its sick in real life, the same thing happened though.  ps. that was paul walkers car in real life, lucky punk.  thats the car i would have if i blew up..

well thats why its a movie car, they're suppose to be for show. oh and joela mentioned KITT in the first post.  

haha i remember i went to the L.A. auto show when the first Fast and the furious, or as i like to call it "Point Break with cars instead of surfboards" came out and they had one of the dodge chargers used in the movie and it didnt even have an engine just a fake blower bolted on to the hood and everyone was standing around it making angry comments, it was actually pretty funny  

We can dream, though, can't we? But as for a "real" movie car, how about the A8 from Transporter2?
