There was a made for TV movie called "Bad Boys" about a group of undercover narcotics officers The main character drives a GN that gets wrecked in a chase scene. Movie from late 80's early 90's with mostly B movie actors.

In the 1995 movie called SPECIES is a Black Regal T that runs over the ALEIAN BABE (no not Illegal) this is a SCI FI movie.

I have tried slowing the DVD down to catch the scene to see if it is a Turbo car but I have had no luck. When he takes of the tires spin & shreik.

I was watching Terminator "Salvation" last night. In the middle of the movie where the asian chick decides to undress, there are wheat look like 2 TR's I'm thinking late 70's early 80's distinct bump on hood. Couldn't pan back because "boss" thought I wanted to re-check the asian chick.

Life TV episode

Here's a little clip from the show Life mentioned that had a GN in it. I don't know how I feel about that stripe, but the front mount looks wicked. It was in a few other episodes of the show as well and actually he gives it away to a teenage girl on the road as a trade for her car, because he has the police looking for him. He later gets it back from her and she had it painted pink with flowers all over it.

Hahaha, That was the first episode of 90210 I ever saw, remember thinking "this show isn't too bad", tried watching the next week, changed the channel after about 5 minutes

What are you talking about? Come on Eric, you tried to sell me both your Friends and 90201 DVD collections...

At the end of 'Life' (and just like Vainishing Point) the Grand National they 'crash' is actually an Olds Cutlass, with Regal rear lights painted on it ....

Also, what about 'LA Takedown' (or 'Made in LA' as it was otherwise known, for example, here in the UK). Is is basically 'Heat' made by Michael Mann before he remade it as 'Heat'.

The cop drives a really nice GN that, when they are speeding to intercept the bank robbery, really does sound like a GN.

[Phase4]

That is 'LA Takedown' or sometimes known as 'Made in LA'.

It is was done by Michael Mann of 'Miami Vice' fame. As I said before, he remade it himself as 'Heat' with Al Pacino and Robert de Niro.

Watch 'Heat' and the armoured car robbery is almost the same.

Here is the scene you were asking about from 'LA Takedown'.

[corsair231]

In addition to the Typhoon in Lethal Weapon 3 there is also a Syclone in it. It is in the scene where Reanne gets fired from the movie set and Mel is attacking the director to get her job back. I just spotted it the other day when I was watching it again for the umpteenth time.:smile:

 

[TylerDurden]

In a recent episode of the show Flash Point (Canadian Swat team). They referred to a car called a Nebraskan, and on the computer the first car they showed was a Red TR, they then changed the picture and it ended up being a late 90s regal or something they looking for.
