That was teen wolf two

Re: Movies, Films, and Appearances starring Firebirds and Trans Ams!!!!

I'm surprised no one mentioned the thirdgen Trans Am from Force III, 1980's tv series. Wish I could find a pic of it, seems any site that would have had it is down, though. It kinda looked like what would happen if the NRA had designed KITT, bunch of guns under concealed panels and stuff. I remember the car going on ebay about ten years ago.

Re: Movies, Films, and Appearances starring Firebirds and Trans Ams!!!!

In the 2003 remake of the Italian job, there is a red Firebird (I think it's a formula, but I can't be sure) that Mark Wahlberg scrapes with his Mini Cooper while jumping over it and several other cars.

ABC 'The Goldbergs', in the pilot episode, the grandfather buys a red Trans Am. He drove it though an awning post and messed the front up.

The Big Hit is actually a good movie, and the chase scene at the end with that yellow Firebird is reasonably well done.

I was wondering if someone would post this. I don't watch the show, but my wife made me change the channel to see it. I was just proud that she knew it was (substantially) like our car. She's not into cars too much. So that was the best part for me.

I agree. Most moves Wahlburg is in are pretty decent.

Re: Movies, Films, and Appearances starring Firebirds and Trans Ams!!!!

It's kind of cheating, but you can search for cars seen in movies at the Internet Movie Car Database (IMCDb) They have a pretty complete listing.

The link below has shots of Third Gen Firebirds and the movies they were in from 1982 on.

They go from Page 24 to Page 28. --> http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?ma...del=on&page=24

Just noticed this - the 1996 movie Kingpin starring Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray - there is a Firebird in it. Go to the 40 second mark.

Re: Movies, Films, and Appearances starring Firebirds and Trans Ams!!!!

Wow, back from the dead.

Though not live action, what appears to be a white TransAm appears in the 1995 Street Fighter II animated movie. SF2 is actually chock full of iconic 80's and 90's cars. Not the generic stuff most animated shows use today. I'm guessing there was no licensing though.I know I saw another one in a recent rewatch of a movie but can't remember the name. Guess that's a reason to bump it again later.

There are actually a number of cars in this movie. C4 Corvette, Classic Mustang GT350, Mercedes AMG...etc.

With the affection payed to special model cars I would like to believe its a TTA, but without drawn badges, best we can say is a 85-90 White TA.
Street Fighter 2 V (1995) TransAm cameo.

Re: Movies, Films, and Appearances starring Firebirds and Trans Ams!!!!

Just watched a movie with Vince Vaughn last night. Brawl in Cell Block 99. In the beginning he drives

(and it has a decent amount of screen time) a Maui Blue 87-90 Formula T-Top.

Was pretty cool to see. AND I didn't know Vaughn could do anything but comedies, he did a helluva job.
