Aussie Fords in Movies

[NAFairlane]

Hey guys, just channel flicking on the tv and couldnt help but stop on Mission Impossible II and particularly the unmistakeable interior of an NL Fairlane Ghia limo

Just wondering if anyone else has picked up on our great aussie cars in other overseas movies? not just fords, anything Australian.

There was a thread the other day about Death Race 2 having EL/EF Falcons in it.

[Giant Cranium]

i noticed on the same add a el blowing up

[Coyote mk3]

I think there were a few EA falcons dressed up as Crown Victoria's in Superman returns.
Although from memory it may have been filmed here.

EDIT: curiosity, made me do a search and found this site.
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?ma...=Falcon&page=1
Provided my link works correctly it should lead to a site that has 29 pages of movies/tv shows which have a ford falcon. (and pictures)

[Jim Goose]

There was a film which was done here on the coast but pretended to be in the USA which had black and white EA falcon police cars....

Very cheesy B grade telemovie....

Quite a few EF's in mission impossible II by the looks of that site.
Even one chucking a handbrake turn.

[JG66ME]

Plenty of Aus Fords in UK soaps. BA Fairlane hearse and Limo in Coronation Street and Eastenders.

[Fordman]

Dont know if anyone has seen Casion Royal (James Bond) whole lot of Fords in that. If you watch during the carpark scene.

[AUSGTI]

You beat me to it. I was going to post exactly that - I can't remember the name of the movie though!

Spun me out how the car magically changed to an XE at the last minute. They must have had a HUGE budget...not.

[XRGhia]

Was going to post the same thing also.

I'm pretty sure there were E-Series Falcons in one of the chases in Mission Impossible 3.

Aquamarine? My daughters love that movie

[Road_Warrior]

There was an XY shown briefly in one of the episodes of Generation Kill

[stang777]

Im one episode of neighbours one of the surfer kids got out of a yellow xb gs panel van in really good nick too

[blownv8au]

the marine i think it is has john cena from wwf i think his name is, it has a xd or xe parked at the side of the servo when he gets the transam cop car. Filmed on the goldcoast i think.

[SLO247]

I have the Foo Fighters ("Best of" I think) DVD here.

One of their first music videos has a DA LTD Limo in it. Spun me out....

[SSD-85]

Not quite on topic. But if im not mistaken the first Transformers film had VT-VX commodores getting trashed in the City fight scene. Immensely satisfying

[tankclare]

I know a few movies with aussie cars in them but they are also aussie movies lol

They were Pontiac GTOs (VX Monaros) mwahaha

[T3ts50]

In the remake of Salems Lot, there was a VY wagon with a Chev badge on the grille. The scene was also mirror imaged to make it LHD.

[Ducati888]

Mission Impossible Two was both set and made in Sydney.

[ThaFlash]

de ja vu, yellow monaro/gto getting smashed up on the bridge towards the end.

Beat me to it!!! Started watching it half way through and was thinking how close the servo in the movie looked remarkably like an Aussie one!!!!! Then I spotted the XD with the bonnet up!!!!

[Brazen]

When the Aussie dollar was cheap a lot of telemovies and the like were made here, I remember seeing a couple from the late 90s or early 2000's which had the US spec export Mitsubishi Diamantes in them, obviously Mistubishi Australia supplied them.

[tranquilized]

Theres an awesome wild violet (I think) XA coupe that plays a starring role in that old Heath Leger film - Two Hands.
