Charlies angels nice slammed busses.

Watched the movie Johhny Nmeumonic (sp) with Keauneu Reeves (sp) last night. They used Beetles as bombs and dropped them from a bridge. They were like huge molitov cocktails.

I also remember seeing a Beetle on a Michael Jackson Video clip recently.
I think it was "Way you make me feel"


VWFOOL - March 15th, 2004 at 09:10 PM

yeop theres an old wreck on the street in 'way you make me feel' awesome clip, love michael...

these may be S.A. only, but Australian Central Credit Union (I think) is using a turquoise Karmann Ghia in their advertising at the moment.
and SGIC has a Split Screen Kombi in their new ad.


Da Wiz - March 16th, 2004 at 11:00 AM

Who can forget Jimoens debt to Australia ... in blowing up a splitty in 'The Craic' ... I was enjoying the movie up to that point ... then he had to go and destroy a splitty and make me cry ...

Also there is a cool thing on the new Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore movie ... saw it in the shorts ... probably not worth spending money to go see it though ;)


mscabrio - March 16th, 2004 at 12:18 PM

CSI has used a few beetles. A new beetle cabrio was featured in the episode where a few young partygoers were killed and a old beaten up beetle was blown up in another episode .......

What about the Karmann Ghia in the special K ad ????? That ad started my obsession with red Karmann Ghia's !

Also on the Aussie Version of " what not to wear " the fashion gurus drive a new beetle cabrio !!!!


VolksFolks - March 16th, 2004 at 01:04 PM

how about Maxwell Smart's Karmann Ghia?

plenty in the Simpsons,
Homer's mum has a Split Kombi,
Patty and Selma have a type 181
Reverend Lovejoy has a Karmann Ghia cab,
Mr. Burns was driving a Beetle cab in the episode he ran over Bart.
Theres a VW of some kind in every scene where theres a parking lot.
