I have actually come to the conclusion that there is a 3rd-gen camaro/firebird in almost every movie. Excepting the sci-fi/out of time period movies..

I havent been proved wrong yet... There is always one somewhere, wether in the background, or being driven by a main character... there is almost always one there!

I just saw that MTV made on tv movie Jailbait, the guy owns a 3rd Gen Camaro and his ex GF blows it up, then later he gets back with her. Wrongs wrong with that guy.

There is also a Z28 in Stephen King's "The Stand" in the first half driven by one of the main characters... maybe Stephen King has a thing for 3rdgens?

The movie Heat, Kilmer drives a white 4th gen v6 Camaro, but Deniro drives a teal 4th gen Z28, both near the end.
That movie on MTV, Diary of a Hate Crime, the main character drives a red IROC, not good publicity on that one.

I noticed I think it was a sport coupe in The Crow. Also there's that movie with Patrick Swayze, he's a truck driver, his buddy drives a black Monte SS and the guy chasing them is driving a 3rdgen.

Well, maybe there,s someone that knows if the rumor that I heard on the radio is true,I heard tonight that David Hasseloff is going to be the producer on the remake of "THE KNIGHT RIDER"
But He won't be acting in the title role in the movie didn't hear when the movie is going coming out.

You might notice that almost every car in Heat was a new (at the time of release) Chevy. I'm guessing that a Hollywood Chevrolet dealer loaned the cars for the movie.

In Rock Star, during the fight scene in the parking lot of concert, there is a nice looking '82-'84 Z28.

OK, I know a few obvious ones not listed. The blue Camaro in shaft. Red Formula in Gone in Sixty Seconds. The Big hit also has a Formula. I think it was called grumpier old men, but a corvette and a thirdgen camaro go ripping by the two old guys. The begining of Hackers the guys washing his T/A or GTA out front. I'm sure there's tons more...

Well, our cars are fairly cheap all round, but still look good

Yeah theres a red Formula in Gone in Sixty seconds in the first scene and also when they are gonna crush it with the dude inside. After watching a couple times though, they actually crush a sport coupe instead with the 15 inch wheels and the non wrap around spoiler like the Formula had. Thank goodness they didn't trash that Formula, I was worried for a minute
