I just seen the movie "National Security" with Martin. In the movie he has a black camaro, looks to be early 80s. Doesnt look to bad, well until they kill it with a machine gun anyways.

Oh yeah, it was a pretty funny movie if anyone is thinking about seeing it.

 

You also did notice that when they show the inside shot of the door, it's unlocked because you can see the orange part of the door, yet he is trying to get his keys out of it........

I just laughed.....

BTW great movie......

 

SuperTroopers-Theres a hugger orange 88 or89 I believe Camaro.

 

Yea, there was a teal camaro in Heat and Jennifer Lopez drove one in Money Train (looked ALOT like mine)...

 

There are tons of movies, music videos and old tv shows ( also new ones) that have 3rd gens in them I see it all the time. Its kinda freaky lol.

 

I see one inabout evary movie made in the laye 80's and early 90's. Just off the top of my head:

Terminater 2
Gremlins

There is always one in the street in the show SEINFIELD

"the wife" alsways gets mad when I point out a third gen in a movie.

 

lol, my girlfriend gets pretty annoyed with me, because i do always point out camaros whenever i see them. i remember the hugger orange thirdgen in super troopers. it looked pretty sweet. there's (i believe) 2 in "eight mile."

 

lol that funny cuz everyone always gets mad at me too when i point out thirdgens, oh btw i think thats a 2nd gen camaro in terminator 2 your thinking off, unless i missed seing the thirdgen? anywho we are all forgeting the movie with the best scenes with a thirdgen, black dog! its awesome and for those who havent seen it u should check it out, oh yah and national security is hilarious! you all should go see that 2

 

There is a 3rdgen firebird when Arnold and Eddie are driving in the ally on the motocycle, Its on the movie for about 1 second, I have an eye for small stuff like that.

 

lol geez man you are good at spotting thirdgens, i hang my head in defeat and bow to you :hail: JAWZ

 

Then there's the movie Splash. John Candy drives a red Trans Am in that movie.

when I get home and look at my 200 DVD movie collection. I'm sure I'll find some more.

 

Ha you guys are missing the hard to spot ones. i havent been able to find many but the one i have checked many times is a beautiful golden trans am i think right in the very begining of Half Baked. it is beautiful but you only see it for about 2seconds.

 

In the movies i have seen its always the bad guys who d´rive Camaros. Why is that?

 

*shrug* This just reminded me of last spring when I was asked for my IROC to be used in a music video. Unfortunately it was shortly before relocating to europe so I was just too busy packing up everything in our apartment, plus I was in IL at the time while the video shoot was in Texas two days later.....

Oh, well...

Lemme guess, country music?

Nice car, BTW. I bet the euros are amazed by it.

 

Hey, didn't BOTH Val Kilmer and Al Pacino in Heat have Camaros? I don't exactly remember, I just remember seeing ALOT of fourth gens.

Hey, someone else noticed that! I've seen almost every episode in Seinfeld and there always seems to be a thirdgen in the streets parked. Remember seeing a couple fourth gens in the episode where Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer are trapped in the parking deck complex too! Glad somebody else noticed that as well. I also see a lot of 80's Porches in Seinfeld too.

Oh and BTW, I always point thirdgens in movies and TV shows, it annoys my girlfriend to no end!

 

Jerry loves porches.

 

There's a red convertible in IT. I don't really remember, but I think it was an 88-90. Din't have the newer ground effects.

 

It was an iroc.

 

:sillylol: damn that's a long list...and there's prolly still more too.


Tim:rockon:

 

i know pacino did, dunno about val...the teal one was a third gen, it was in the scene where they exited the bank and the getaway driver was killed and they were trying to make thier way down the street. The thing was lookin pretty decent...then the rear glass was shattered out and by the time bullets stopped flying it looked like crap

i'm thinkin we're gonna have to come up with a video..collage of cars in movies....

anybody know any songs that mention camaros? i know pearl jam sang one, dead milkmen sang bitchin camaro, and irocs are mentioned in "teenage dirtbag" by whoever the hell sang it...

 

*cough * Wheatus ~teenage dirtbag~ * cough* there are a couple that mention trans ams as well I can't remember then name of them one was 1970 something and then there are others and some old one I can't remember and have been trying to find

 

there was some movie i saw on tv called black dog, it was some trucker movie but it had a blue iroc in the whole thing, tey beat it up a lttle but it was pretty cool

 

i just saw the thing about songs, mystical has an 87 iroc, it is in a few of his songs too

 

Desert Heat with Mr Van Dam WHO DOESNT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AN AUTO now thats funny, that was a nice blue IROC, drop top.

 

a movie called the Wraith. that was a good one.

 

I was watching Money Train on tv last night. Sure enough a thirdgen Camaro shows up, very nice!!!!

 

I didnt notice any 3rd gens in the movie HEAT. I do remember that white early 90s Corvette that Val Kilmer drove. Probably with the LT1 engine, it looked awesome.

 

Black Dog...

Caged purple camaro IROC or Z... <shrug>

 

I cant remember what movie it was but Charlie Shean was a porshe thief and he was persued by a blue 82-84 Z28 with t's that evenutually got fliped and destroyed.
Another one that I cant remember was from 87-89 where these kids opened a gate to hell in thier back yard. A frined of their older sister had a 87-89 GTA.
Gosh theres so many more movies that had 3rd gens in it but I cant remember the names

 

rock my world little country girl by brooks and dunn mentions a camaro in the song. in fact the video has a blue one in it and i believe it is a board members car. blue502 i think.

 

the movie was called no mans land. good movie too for the time. and i believe the other movie was called the gate. it had little gremlin lookin things in it.

 

Yes "slams his hand down while saying that" thats their names. I havent seen those movies in forever. I need to watch no man's land for the camaro sceen.

 

theres a song, doesn't mention particular cars, but in the beggining the motor reving sounds alot like my buddys camaro. lol. good song all about fast cars, "wheels of fire" by Manowar.
Teenage Dirtbag, good song, once again the bad guy drives an f-body.
Oh and in the movie Blade blade drives a bad *** custom camaro. not sure if it's in both movies or just the second one. i'm pretty sure both though.

 

oh yeah, and for those G-body fans like me, theres a song by a rap group, i belive it's the cash money millionares, "cutlass, monte carlos and regals"
reminds me "i had an illegal regal and it was so tight" yeah me too!

 

where is the thirdgen in Gone in 60 Seconds?

 

It a firebird at the very begining when Kip had to get his special tool out of the hatch to steal the porshe. And when he gets caught and the bird gets crushed.

 

of course I'm an idiot! lol

 

Back in early '91, Great White featured a black w/blue stripe 1990 IROC-Z, with T-Tops in their video Once Bitten, Twice Shy. As well as some hot chicks.

 

GTATransAM - no, it's a white 4thgen kilmer drives and the 3rd gen is after the getaway driver is shot and they go walkinging and firing down the road toward a police baricade with AR15/M16's..you only see a quick flash of the front, the rest is from the back because kilmer or paccino (can't remember which) take cover behind it and shoot over it...

and where in blade did he drive a camaro? i've seen both and i only remember blade driving a charger/challenger...the same one they totalled out in TF&TF...

 

you its a charger not a camaro.i know because that car is my dream car

 

Fightclub...The scene at the airport baggage pick-up near the beginning, Brad Pitt peels out in a red (I think) convertible, very short clip.

 

There was another segal movie. He was a brooklyn cop, chasing some mafia guy. The mafia guy drove a red IROC. That was a lil too steroetypical, ya think? At leasy they didnt have ******s.

Oh and Next of Kin with Patrick Swayze. I think a blue Z? And every time he drove away it sounded like he was getting on it cause the tires always screeched.

 

i think the steven segal movie was called above the law. but then again he seem to be a rocklyn cop chasin mafia guys in all his movies lol

 

the wraith had a 2nd gen.

I also just say finial destination 2, and there is a black firebird with a chicken decal just like "92transam" avatar on the hood. Also there pasanger on the motercycle isnt to shabby. wink. wink.

 

Gleaming the Cube had some third gens in it. They had a SC near the end as a stunt car when the skateboard guy was chasing the guy in the cop car. Also there was a sweet *** vert vette.

 

they get pretty wicked in that IROC, it's pure action, not just a thirdgen passing by or doing a park job, but some real thirdgen mischief!

It's worth watching just to see the dude get wild in that Blue IROC!

 

I just watched a movie on Encore last night called "Band of the Hand" with nobody famous in it.

They were juvies that were put on a special assignment to get rid of drug dealers. They refurbished this old building, and while they were standing in the road admirring their work, a grey Firebird (82-84) drove by and had the black steel 'nugget' wheels on it.

It was a 1-2 second shot, but I noticed it right away (thanks to you guys )

 

I saw that last night. I enjoyed all the death scenes.

Oh, and my friend shot a movie a year and a half ago and if my T/A would have been running it would have been in it. Instead, I was driving my old 4th Gen Camaro in the movie.
