more than likely been discussed before....

I watched 'almost famous' on telly last night - counted at least a dozen splitties in various forms driving around in the background, parked in car parks etc - micros, single and twin cabs, sweeeeet I thought they might just have the same two or three just in different scenes but no, they were all different colours n stuff. Nice one.

Any other films you have seen with nice examples featured?


that is all....back to your business...

i remember in the ORIGINAL gone in sixty seconds.. the one made in the 70's, theres one scene where the mustang comes (supposedly) tearing onto the highway, merging at about 100mph... well.. if you look in the corner theres a little red bug that looks like its going faster and overtakes the mustang as it merges... it was hilarious..

the bad guys in the movie back to the future where hanging out the roof of a kombi giving it a thrashing.

"Blow" has a few dubz at the start when he moves to the West coast

the movie It`s a mad mad world has a early cab beetle hooning down the highway with the other cars

yes i was thinking the exact same thing when i watched almost famous last night..


there are about 10 or 20 splitties in the movie! and a few good closeups of when characters drive them! A few beetles as well too!

just got home from "meet the forkers" and they have a seen in a thing

Anyone remember DU DU the superbug?
Rob...

awwww now blowing up splitties is just not cricket!

In 'Christmas with the Kranks',Santa flys off in a beetle attached to the reindeer instead of a sleigh at the end.

that 70' show , had a very nice 21 window that they where in a radio comp to win.

also dirty harry, the first one, has a nice red one,l just before the bank roberry scene, and also a beetle that the school bus side swipes.

Drew Barrymore is a VW fan. She lives in the same street as a Splitty in "Riding in cars with boys" and she drives a Thing is "50 first dates" .....(I think that it is a Thing !)

Yep that is a thing Mscabrio.

How cool was that splitty that Kelso won on that seventies show.Now that its his lets hope it shows up in lots more episodes.

in Dirty Deeds, aussie movie set in 1969, there are alot in the back grounds of the street scenes.

cheaper by the dozen - bay window kombi
jin roh - split beetles and busses
HERBIE
kill bill 2 - karmann ghia

in "The Witness" harrison ford drives a blue late model type 3 squareback.

in "Rockstar" jennifer anniston drives an orange t3 square... and also i havent seen it myself, but in a Dukes of Hazard episode there is another t3 squareon the highway or sumfin like that....like me t3 movies...

on a sad note...anybody watched that junkyard wars on foxtel...? anywayz one episode the 2 teams have to build a giant crusher....the 2 cars chosen to crush were 2 type 3 fasty's....they got crunched majorly

jonno

i remember seeing dudu when i was very young, any one know if u can hire it ???

Maxwell Smart drove a Karmann Ghia for a while. That would make his middle name "Very"...

In Back To The Future, Marty is chased by Libyans driving a Kombi..
One of them is standing up in the back and trying to get him with a Missile Launcher after The Doc' stole the plutonium they had given him to build a bomb with, and exchanged it for pinball machine parts...
He needed the plutonium to power the Delorean....


Another famous VW...
The Cars that Ate Paris...

Have the freak brothers made a movie yet???

Kate Winslet drives a yellow bug in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Very cool film by the way, check it out if you liked being john malcovitch.

In The Thomas Crown Affair (original version, with Steve McQueen) has a really good scene with a Manx beach buggy.

space balls- there is a a hover klubel wagen.
top gun- the very sweet 356

and i think the kombi may be in some of the future episodes of that 70's show!!!

Just watched the new version of "The Thomas Crown Affair" with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo in it. Good movie, but the bastards left out the beach buggy scene. How could they???

The buggy in the original film that McQueen drove was powered by a hotted up Chevy Corvair motor and the body is modified a lot. Very cool scene showing him driving the buggy like a buggy was meant to be driven...
