tangent Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Its a 240 at 4:20... LOL.. Jealousy Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 just watch a whole bunch of movies and take snapshots of each and every interesting car, then post it up online... Sounds like Mr. Skin for car guys! Mostly foriegn films, so alot of them would be difficult to get here. If anyone finds one that they like, I can look into getting it for you (work at video store) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I want "Run Lola Run" I love the Z pics. I would guess that guy at least got tips on a lot of those movies from other people. Then he just has to get the movie and make the screen capture. Quote Link to comment
phiz Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Pretty cool site. I did a search for "Gone in 60 Seconds", (the original, not that goofy Nick Cage one), to see if they had a pic of my old '71 521 that was used in the movie. It's not included in the IMCDb "database" but, if any of you happen to watch that movie, watch for the scene where the banged-up Eleanor gets a car wash. My old burgundy truck has a brief moment of fame. I had bought the truck from the original owner who lived in Torrance, CA at the time of the movie and, had included some interesting 1973 documentation from H.B. Halicki about the use of the truck, (some legal-babel waiver form), in the movie when I picked up the truck in San Francisco some 16 years later and brought it back to SoCal. I got totaled in a parking lot a few years ago by some guy in a 1-ton van while he was evading the police. While upset about it's tragically unfortunate ending, I late thought it was an appropriate death, considering it's involvement in a wreck-as-many-cars-as-you-can car-chase movie.

datsunaholic Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 It's not just movies... it's TV shows too. But they missed the orange 620 pickup in "Knight Rider" (it got chased INTO a junkyard pile and caught fire). They didn't miss the yellow B210 in "Debbie Does Dallas" though. Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Bleach- Run Lola Run You won't find a better price than that. phiz- Have you seen "Junkman"? It's a good movie, I would reccomend it to everyone here. Along with "Two Lane Blacktop" Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hey You guys, I haven't had time yet to check this out, but it looks like You can join and help out. On each photo there is "suggestions" down below from people helping out. Terie and I surfed for a while and I drifted into an area where there are 90+ pages of vehicles that they still need help with. I might take time some day and see whats on there. But in the "suggestions" area it looks like people put in what they think a vehicle might be and then somebody makes the final decision which maker it gets listed into. I know We have discussed earlier all of the Datsuns that We know of (I looked at that yesterday on the other forum) and there are a few missing from this website. Maybe We can join and tell them of ones We know about. Anyway I also looked at Ford Couriers, Luvs (found a FOURDOOR LUV in there!!) and Toyotas. Didn't look at Mazdas yet. Later....................... Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Check our list of Datsun 1200s in movies (including pics): Datsun1200.com Wiki The best one is perhaps Gone In 60 Seconds with the green coupe while Lyle Wagoneer's Ferrari is getting washed. And then when they chase the mustang around Nissan corporate headquarters! Datsun 240Z, Datsun 1200 & Datsun B210 The Junkman (sequel to Gone in 60 Seconds) The Last Waltz Quote Link to comment

tnip Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 it's funny i remember seeing that commercial on tv but not that it was for nissan or that it was a 300zx that he was driving. Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 it's funny i remember seeing that commercial on tv but not that it was for nissan or that it was a 300zx that he was driving. ditto. Hard to believe that was over 10 years ago...it must have been if they were still selling the z32 Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 that's probably about right... and it was more likely farther back than that... like when the z32 was a newer model. Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Actually the Z was already out of production in the U.S. at the time of that commercial...97 or 98 I believe. Quote Link to comment

spiffinspudater Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 This isnt a movie but I just saw a guy with no hands (Split arms for a claw like effect) on Ripley's Believe it or Not TV show driving a datsun 620... It was red with black DATSUN on the tailgate. He drives a truck for a living and that truck happens to be that old 70's Datsun! Link to the episodes description. LINKY It doesn't state anything about that guy but that is the episode. Quote Link to comment
