I tried to find this old thread, but it wouldn't pop up. Anyway, I just saw the ultimate one! Cable TV- review of black (ie afro-american) cinema- eventually got to the genre of "blackspoitation" movies eg Blacula, Shaft-all that sort of stuff. Came across one called "Black Mama/White Mama" (1972) about 2 female convicts who do a runner chained together. A rip-off of the male version with Tony Curtis & Sidney Poitier & made on the cheap in the Phillipines. (That's a clue.) Well, in one scene the 2 ladies do a dramatic escape, under fire, in..........wait for it, wait for it.......
A BRIGHT PINK COUNTRY BUGGY!!!
I nearly fell off my chair!
i saw "welcome to the jungle" with "the rock" and stifler from american pie.
In one of the last gun fights they hide behind a carmen ghia which they SHOOT UP and in other shots is a bay window kombi and a over turned beetle.
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs
feeling depressed & wanted to feel more depressed so i watched prob my most fav movie of all.
pink floyd the wall.
i thought i knew every scene & every verse but guess what i saw. that my fried brain had never locked down.
a beetle. yay.
i had noticed that beetle too and always point it out to everyone when i watch it.....they get pissed off.......i love my "the wall" DVD.:thumb

Bargearse is a series from 'The Late Show" on the ABC...it was originally called Bluey back in the 70's until they 'dubbed it' with voice overs....I watched an episode a few weeks back at someones house (don't think I'd waste my money on it)
......BUT it was FULL OF BEETLES on Melbourne's street in the 70'S STACKS OF THEM.....I got so excited....
i've got the full bargearse on tape! funny as hell! yes you're right it's full of vw's at the end bargearse gets into a car (nonVW) farts lights a smoke and then it cuts to a shot of a vw exploding. actually i think they blew up 2 dubs, i'll have to watch it tomorrow and check...
THe MC Bat Commander's motto: "Never do now, what you could do for 24 hours straight, all night, the night before."
I saw one get blown up :jesus
There was a heap of people there n I was the only one going mad over the beetles...let out a big AUGH when the beetle got blown up
They musta thought I was weird...but hey I'm happy!!! :thumb

I started to watch superman........nodded off it was that interesting.

almost as predicable as the "free" trade deal being renegotiated now little johnny has been re-enskonsed........
What about "how to make an american quilt" (I think) had Wyona Ryder in it. its got a very nice spilt window kombi. I believe some of the Herbie films may have had a vw in them.😉
