View Full Version : Movies/TV with F-Bodies

Thought this would be a cool thread..everyone list any movies or TV shows with F-Bodies in them.

The only regulation being it is not a random background car parked on a street or randomly driving by the characters/action. If it is driven by a character or plays apart in a action sequence, list it.

List the movie, year it came out, and what kind of F-Body is in it..and describe the scene or actor that drove it.

I'll start with a few off the top of my head....

Big Trouble in Little China (1986) - Red 85/86 TA, brand new...driven by the chinese thugs and used to kidnap the girl and attempt to run over Kurt Russell

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) - Orange 2nd Gen Camaro..i think a 76/77..driven by the lead female throughout the film

The Marine (2006) - 4th Gen Camaro Cop Car.. driven by John Cena (shot at and crashed to *****) in action scene..

12 Rounds (2009) - 2nd gen Silver Camaro...also driven by John Cena in action scene (I hear he's a huge musclecar fan and has a big collection..)

No Man's Land (1987) 3rd Gen Blue Camaro.. driven by thugs trying to kill Charlie Sheen and has an awesome high flying crash/rollerover with it..

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) 1st Gen 69 Blue Camaro..believe it was a Yenko..driven by thug 1st half of movie, then by Paul Walker 2nd half... shot at/crashed into boat

Knight Rider (1982 TV) KITT the Black 82 3rd Gen TA and star!

Smokey & the Bandit (and sequels) (1977) - 77 TA.. the lengendary Bandit!

Better Off Dead (1985) - Black 69 Camaro..restored on screen and raced by John Cusack

Transformers (2007) & sequel....2nd gen 77 Yellow Camaro morphs into the new 5th gen..Bumblebee

My Own Worst Enemy (2009 TV) - new silver 5th Gen Camaro driven by lead actor Christian Slater


thats all I can think of off the top my head...your turn!
