Hi Everyone. I'm new to these parts. I love lurking on this forum and have decided it's about time to get involved.
There's a german short film called "Free Parking" that features a Mk1 golf fighting a Porsche for the last carpark in the world. Some cool driving in that one. Just recently I saw "I Spy" which is set largely in Hungary. In two car chase shots I nearly jumped out of my cinema seat when I saw Mk1 Golfs playing the part of innocent traffic.

I know its not a Movie, but there is a very nice Diamond Green Bug in Neighbours! That was for sale about 4 years ago, and I passed it up cause I wanted the notch!!!! Doesnt matter, but it is a very nicestocker!!!

You see VW's in just about every movie so long as the period is right. I'm always rewinding to see if IT WAS a beetle/kombi etc.
Not necessarily starring but in traffic or parked, theres heaps.
I think we should have a seperate forum for " I spotted a VW in..."

RACV ad in todays Herald Sun had a nice painted up hippy combie
YHA has put a kombi graphic on the front of their Europe and Rest of the World hostel guides for 2003
I think they could be flavour of the month
Keep passing a poster advertising a surf movie showing the back of a blond bikini clad surfer chick heading toward a very nice slammed kombi (keep forgetting the name and also seeing if it is on video by now)

I know it's not a live action movie but in the recent Disney animation movie ''Lilo and Stitch''
The little Alien creature in the movie Stitch picks up a blue beetle, yells the words 'Blue Punch Buggy' and throws it at the bad guy.
Thought it was cute.
Just my bit!
P.S. Herbie still rules as the coolest dub on screen!!!!

We did the free willy thing a while back. On the coach returning from Sydney we all watched 'Field of Dreams' with Costner. He pilots an ole Burgendy BW camper on his quest zig zagging all over the inner US.

Yes, I do think that a few of the ehem 'Older' members of the forum would remember Alices Restaurant (song and movie), as some of us 'middle aged' members remember it, why willie? and please tell me your surname isn't Broon is it? ( I guessed that because of the oor willie tag)

If you love Type 3s, you won't want to see the original Gone In Sixty Seconds from the early 1970s (not the crap remake with Nicholas Cage)
HB Halecki is driving the yellow Ford Mustang, Eleanor over a bridge. The cops are on his tail. One cop car slides out of control and whams into a nice white Type 3 fastback, which spins around and slams into the wall. Ouch.
You also get to see a huge VW dealership in the background earlier, when HB is stealing a Dodge Challenger using a tow truck.
Great car enthusiasts film, that one!

Just watched willy wonka (taped it for kid yesterday) the opening scene has a white beetle and possibly a type 3. From then on its wall to wall VW. Every street scene has a VW. Also a 356! Bit of a collector car movie I think. Lots of citroens and early BMW's. Once they got inside the chocolate factory I gave up and came in here to get online. Hope there were no oompa loompas driving around in hebs.

he he he,
saw that one as well. Have no real idea what started the punch buggy thing. Never knew it when I was at Uni (Lived ina c ave obviously.... but a cave with beerrrrr........ mmmmm..... beeeeeeerrrrrrrrr)
As for the Broons, got a book from an ex a while back. Laughed myself silly at it, I think Aust gets both UK and US stuff and likes both (Generally).
Yeah, as of today I am now in 'the 35'' so I guess I can now say I am middle aged (well average life can't be much more than 70 here, factor in work etc, rather than a nice simple existance)
I aklso have Alices restaurant on vinyl though, so if anyone needs/wants(/knows it) on CD let me know and I'l copy it over.

Went and saw "Final Destination 2" last night. The main character's family "owned" a silver New Beetle. When she drove it up to her house, it sounded like a diesel.
btw, the film is crap. Don't see it unless you like seeing people being killed in grisly circumstances. Predictable from start to finish, so much so, the last ones to die although burnt to a crisp elicit a laugh from the audience. And yes, the black guy dies.

No kombi to take the whales away or whatever (well it would have had to be a bloody big kombi:o)
Well we did stay up to laugh at jokes we'd heard before, and had minimal sleep. Our choice I guess😉 *Jen yawns and thinks of sleep*

Hi
My bug was used in an ABC TV series in the early eighties, starred Mike Preston, cant remember the name of the show, it was something with 3 initials.
I like to watch period movies and spot incorrect model VWs.
There were some nice VWs in Good Morning Vietnam.
Forgot to mention, when Burkes Backyard was in Mexico a few years ago there was heaps of street scenes, but no VWs, does he hate real bug as well?

Don't know if this has been mentioned but the beatles movie (the one about the band before they were famous, when they had 5 mimbers) the g/f of one of them drives a Karman Cabriolet.
Also, I know it's not a movie but the current target campaign has a red beetle covered in snow and the billboard has a bunch of girls in a white chop top.
Also the movie 'the mexican' with Julia roberts and Brad Pitt has a new beetle in it, green i think and 'Bring it on' one of the girls in that drives a new beetle.
Also the Bee Gees last film clip features a kombi, have only seen it once but i think it was a splitty.
