Now we just need one for Smokey and the Bandit and Blues Brothers.
The first Smokey and the Bandit movie has mostly CJ184s and Twin Sonics, although they do look neat in blue.

I cringe when I see Hollywood movie errors referring to actual places. Those aren't Louisiana troopers in the green cars, they are supposed to be from the small (fake) town of Sabine River, LA. The advertising sign on the wall in their shop is also incorrect, as it refers to the ficticious agency of the Louisiana Highway Patrol. which is officially known as the Louisiana State Police.

That was awesome I got to see it soon!!!!!!!!Pimp said:

dg0223 said:I have this movie on DVD. If anybody out there wants a backup of it, let me know and I may be able to accomodate your request. Aside of there being a lot of really nice vintage lights in it, the movie does have a plot to it.
I'm sure there is a "must watch" list out there for the vintage cop car/lightbar enthusiast. I offer my suggestions for your consideration:
-Vanishing Point - More for the vintage police cars than the lights, but still a good watch with a really depressing ending, though.
-The Blues Brothers - Do I really have to say anything to this one?
-Sugarland Express - Lots of vintage Mars, and lots of Federal Signal.
-Smokey and the Bandit II - Big copcar showdown at the end. Nice vintage cars.
-The Terminator - Nice '77-'78 Monacos, and he walks in to a nightclub that has Aerodynics mounted all over the place. Nice.
-Runaway - Is that Tom Selleck? Is that a JetSonic with a laser gun popping out? AWESOME!
-Ghostbusters - ECTO-1 is pretty loaded, but take a glance at those vintage NYPD Plymouth Furys.
-The Original Gone in 60 Seconds, and the other movies that Halicki made - Something for everyone.
-Blown Away - Nice shots of Boston PD Crown Vics with the Boston Code 3 XL's.
