Movie Help needed

I just finished watching Weird Science, one of my favorite movies, and it got me thinking. Besides Weird Science and of course Risky Business, what other movies have Porsche 928's figured prominatley in them? Yes this is a SVX board, and I love the SVX. I cringe everytime a car mag points out the failure of the SVX. I miss mine and still tell people about her, but the 928 is my new obsession.

this is an easy one.

i'd recommend 'The Hidden' - 80's sci-fi movie where the "good alien cop" drives a 928, and the "bad alien" drives Ferrari's.

others-
Final Analysis - Ashley Judd drives a late model ('87+) 928

Scarface - a couple 928's when Al's in a showroom.

not on the link Dza posted: Leonard, Part 6 - horrible movie, but Bill Cosby is a secret agent who drives a 928 with a tank turret on it.

the other movies on that link pretty much just have very quick shots of 928's. i didn't know, however, that there was one in Ronin - cool movie i've seen about 5 times. i'll have to watch it again.

some more, and other Porsches, on here: http://www.eatel.net/~dslabat/movies.htm

The fact that i'm still on this board should make it completely unecessary to make that statement.

Oh and Ronin is one of the ultimate driver's movies of all time.

We actually agree on alot of things. Like politics for instance. That's a big one.

Ronin made me fall in love with the Audi S8, and if it weren't for the fact that it's still not available in the US, and the fact that Cadillac is making some really sweet cars these days, I might have an S8 in my garage.

I watched Ronin tonight, and watched for every car passing in traffic and parked in lots and I didn't see one 928. I did see a nice burgandy 911 Targa. The S8 is an awesome car. It should have run rings around the Citroen Xm. There was a nice selection of Citroen's, Peugeot's, and Renault's if you are in to cars from the biggest losers on the planet. That's why DiNiero was usually in a German car .

you can get the Audi V8 dirt cheap, but you'd need to keep a bit set aside for repairs. cool car for the money, though. last year for them was 1994.

i remember seeing Ronin for the first time, and actually looking for 928's (used to do that in a lot of movies... ), because it was set in Europe, and it seemed like the type of movie where i might see one.


if you figure out where it is in the movie, let me know.

I never saw one. As for my 928, I still really like the black over tan, but after looking for awhile the Guards red over tan or black is starting to grow on me. It won't show dirt like the black. Plus a red over tan 928 S4 would be just like my beloved former Bacelona red over tan LSi! There is something hot about a red sports car.

That's strange that it only mentions 1 movie. The SVX is also in a movie called "Rich mans wife" with Halle Berry, and in "Falling Down" with Robert Duval and Michael Douglas.

I passed the first test in getting a 928 into our next house. She pointed out, again, no cars till after we move next year. The house only has a 1 car garage and I think she has the Forester penciled in. But I showed her a Black and Guards Red 928 S4 and she said she liked the red alot more then the black. The fact she is forming an opinion means I'm beginning to get a toe hold! By spring 2007 I should have her OK with a Porsche in the garage!!!
