Aussie Fords in Movies

[NAFairlane]

Hey guys, just channel flicking on the tv and couldnt help but stop on Mission Impossible II and particularly the unmistakeable interior of an NL Fairlane Ghia limo

Just wondering if anyone else has picked up on our great aussie cars in other overseas movies? not just fords, anything Australian.

There was a thread the other day about Death Race 2 having EL/EF Falcons in it.

[Giant Cranium]

i noticed on the same add a el blowing up

I think there were a few EA falcons dressed up as Crown Victoria's in Superman returns.
Although from memory it may have been filmed here.

EDIT: curiosity, made me do a search and found this site.

Provided my link works correctly it should lead to a site that has 29 pages of movies/tv shows which have a ford falcon. (and pictures)

Launch explosives at a Falcon and it rolls over. Give a Holden a tap with a truck and it blows up and goes to pieces. Just like in real life

Fat Pizza back in '03

Plenty of Aus Fords in UK soaps. BA Fairlane hearse and Limo in Coronation Street and Eastenders.

Dont know if anyone has seen Casion Royal (James Bond) whole lot of Fords in that. If you watch during the carpark scene.

You beat me to it. I was going to post exactly that - I can't remember the name of the movie though!

Spun me out how the car magically changed to an XE at the last minute. They must have had a HUGE budget...not.

Beat me to it!!! Started watching it half way through and was thinking how close the servo in the movie looked remarkably like an Aussie one!!!!! Then I spotted the XD with the bonnet up!!!!

[SSD-85]

Not quite on topic. But if im not mistaken the first Transformers film had VT-VX commodores getting trashed in the City fight scene. Immensely satisfying

In the remake of Salems Lot, there was a VY wagon with a Chev badge on the grille. The scene was also mirror imaged to make it LHD.

[Ducati888]

Mission Impossible Two was both set and made in Sydney.

[ThaFlash]
