Any of you remember this movie from the 80's?

We all think of Scarface, or Weird Science, when we think of 928 movies.
But this one is made for car people...

Here's the synopsis:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica"> Combining the pulse-pounding film traditions of the renegade cop and high-speed automotive action, "Banzai Runner" stars Dean Stockwell as Billy Baxter, a California state trooper who is frustrated in his attempts to stop a group of jetsetters addicted to the thrill of racing their luxury sports cars through the desert at speeds of over 200 mph. When Baxter learns that the Runners might be transporting cocaine, he goes undercover to chase down the lead Runner in a destructive winner-take-all test of speed and endurance. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">Guess what the "Lead Runner" drives?

Heh heh heh!

Don't forget the final race between the 928 and the Pantera!! Great movie - well for the time.

You also forgot the mention the two 928 car movies where they are damaged:
Risky Business
Cannonball Run II

The wife got me to watch "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" the other day. And towards the end of the movie, as they are going to the airport, there is a clear shot of a silver Pre-S4 928S. My wife got pissed when I "had" to stop the DVD and watch it in slow motion. It was in frame for maybe 2 seconds, but it made the movie worthwhile for me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Andrew, I saw that too - didn't have the nerve to stop the movie though ... Seriously, it was on a flight to Caracas - the other passengers would probably have dropped me without a parachute

Saw "Grosse Pointe Blank" yesterday - I'm almost certain I saw a dark-green pre-S4 (old style front) parked outside a shop there.

I remember that movie, starring that guy from "Quantum Leap" and some unknown--some of the worst acting I ever saw, but alot of nice cars. I still remmeber the line when he is convincing the higher-ups on the force that he needs the Pantera "That's a true 200 MPH car". Then at the end what looks like a Testors' model of a Pantera blows up. And the Plymouth Police car, that the mechanic builds--looks like a regular police car with a hood scoop, Pro-comp rear springs, and a "Moroso" air cleaner/valve covers.

Stepping from the doorway, like the purveyor of questionable goods that he is, the hunched figure offered the goods from within his trenchcoat rasping the words "for sale cheap, most parts" viewed only once. I found a copy of this, I won't tell you where .
