Obligatory 965 footage of the beginning and end of the movie.

Who's That Girl - the Madonna movie stars a 944. A police detective owns it and a side joke as his new partner keeps slamming the door.

I've never found the Porsche clips anywhere, I need to dig out that VHS and edit my own.

There's also Bullitt. Steve McQueen drives his girlfriend's 356 after he puts his Mustang in the ditch after the car chase.

Small bit parts in "Top Gun" and "Private Benjamin." And the Robert Redford ski movie, " Downhill Racer."

No way is the best Porsche movie No Man's Land. I had it on the DVR, and TRIED to watch it again the other day. Couldn't come close to tolerating the crappy acting and plot. Sure, it has high 911 count, but that's it.

Le Mans, hands down.

^^ Yes, it is painful. But you have to remember back in the day, there was no pausing, no rewinding when you saw a movie. Hell... It would be like 5 years before it got to TV so you could record it. You had to watch and wait in agony to hear those 911s roar, and drift around the corners... and just like that, gone... just a memory.

Because of that, you could get away with a lot in a movie that just doesn't work today. Lots of 70s and 80s movies have these excruciating build ups to climax that today would have you reaching for the fast forward button. They are just unbearable.

There's a new TV series up here shot in Toronto, it has a 911 in a solid co-starring role.

yeah I heard Brent Hunter prepped that car , I wonder if there is a scene where the actor complains about the overpriced mechanic.

IMO the best Porsche movie, constitutes the most Porsche time, regardless of actors / acting. Which movie actually has the most Porsche time? I think it's tough to beat No Man's Land! That's a movie, that truly puts the Marque on a pedestal. Le Mans I think is close too, although more of a connection w/ NML, since it's the models we drive.

Bad boys was very weak for Porsche content . one car ... limited scene time .. meh in my opinion .. not to mention the cheese ball acting.

Don't watch " Mystic Pizza", a scorned Julia Roberts dumps a barrel of fish into a red Targa

On the bright side . Krusty the Clown was seen in a pink cab ( maybe a targa?)
