Oh yeah - how coud we forget the "FAT PIZZA" 260Z!

hey, thats the one i was thinking of, i wrote about it in the original version of this thread, but the thread got hi-jacked into this one

couldnt remeber what movie that was ay

in i think either 2 or 3 of the predator movies, in the shooting scene in the street there is a light brown 120y sedan, and u see it a few times, the rest of the cars are full of holes but the 120y seems to escape destruction !!!

one of the main characters in the new movie, you got served, drives a navy blue 240z

and how can ne one forget the movie " bruce all mighty", jim carrey drives a Z car there, and in the movie "crackerjack" the fat dude who owns all the car parks and works in the fone hotline joint drives a blue Z car!

I just got the original "Gone in 60 seconds" VHS tape from the library. This is a great movie for 60s and early 70's car-watchers. Every classic car is in here somewhere.

Here are the Datsun sightings:

At 38 minutes* -- scene lasts about 1 minute
Lyle Wagoneer's Ferrari gets stolen, but as b310gx pointed out there is a like-new green 1200 coupe right behind the actors. A good view of the rear, but a bit of the side is also visible. You can see the what the original "bright" green looked like (this is not the dark green).

At 120 minutes -- scene lasts about 4 minutes
The main character drives past the (12 story?) Datsun North America headquarters building before turning into the Torrance Mazda agency, through Butler Buick and into the Moran Cadillac dealership. There is a clear shot of the rear of a white 1200 coupe. There may be Datsun 1200 2-dr sedans and coupes visible along the street and maybe in the car lots, it's hard to say.

And though literally hundreds of cars are damaged, as far as I can tell no Datsuns were harmed during the movie. Among other sad scenes, a nice circa 1969 Corona get t-boned at high speed, and a Dodge Challenger gets put in the shredder (I hope it wasn't a Hemi-powered one).

*from the VHS "digitally remastered" NTSC tape, year 2000

'69 corona, I've got one of these on blocks rusting away...

I just watched Battle Royale 2 on DVD - crazy Japanese movie - wasn't as good as the first one, with one exception - there's three great shots of a crusty 1200 ute in the second to last chapter...
