Default Another 944 movie sighting.

I never noticed this one before.
City Slickers 2. Billy Crystal walks past a stone gray 944na on his way to work in the beginning of the movie.
I need to get a life.

I hate it when you think you've seen one in a movie on TV. No rewinding... I've even had to rent a couple of movies just to see if it was a 944 that I saw.

I guess this is really OT and thread hijacking, but inquiring minds want to know:

Does anyone know the type of car that Bill Drove in Kill Bill, Vol 2? It looks like a 70's supercar, like a DeTomaso (not a Pantera)?

I think it was a DeTomaso Mangusta. I might be wrong, though, because I only got a quick look at it.

I saw a 928 on BBC (I think) yesterday. Looked like an insurance commercial.

I have watched an intersection bit (the armored car "chase" scene, prior to it's dissappearance) several times (10 to be exact, I love digital movies) and I have concluded it's an RX-7 II and NOT a 924S in the intersection.

Ahh, there's a game for ya- 924S sightings in movies. I'll guess there's uh.. none.

Yes, it was a DeTomaso Mangusta. I don't always enjoy Tarantino's movies, but his use of visual elements is impeccable. In this case, if one were to characterize people by the car they drive, then that rare, brutal, skulking, time-honored machine is the perfect personification of Bill. I have never seen a more perfect placement of a car in a movie in such a way.

Cheers,

I was watching Police Videos on Spike TV last night and the cops were chasing some morons on the interstate and tried to spin them out, they went up an embankment and almost creamed a car sitting on the shoulder. I'm pretty sure it was a 928, but the scene was blurry and too fast to be sure.

I saw that too Brett. It definately was a beautiful 928. Looked like an early 90's one. They replayed that scene twice and it definately was an awesome 928. Made me want to kill those retards. They almost hit a parked 928 at over 80 MPH. They could have killed the Porsche owners.
