Anyone seen 'The Bucket List'?
« on: September 29, 2009 - 12:34:20 PM »
I enjoyed it. This scene in particular was great!  :bigsmile:



Interesting to see the two side by side - considering the Mustang is a pretty small car - Challenger is a lot smaller than I imagined next to it!

I haven't seen it - but that pic, with the crumpled sheetmetal on the Challenger - makes me  :swear:

As Good As It Gets is great! Everyone is great in that, but Nicholson is always reliable. He's excellent in 'About Schmidt', too.

Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson have a real good rapport in this movie.

As for the Challenger being crumpled - it's just one of those things. I don't get affected by it - I hope to find one before they all become crumpled though!

It was a very good movie. The ending pulled at my heart strings.

 :iagree:  I am glad that they fixed it back up and it even looks better than it did in the movie.  Might watch the movie again this weekend not sure.   :bigsmile:

You guys notice the 426 Hemi hood call outs?  :stirpot:  It has a 318...
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Just like every movie now a days they made 4 cars for the movie, one a "hero", and the other the smasher. The 318 challenger was used for the fender rubbing scenes and the "hero" was a 5.7 hemi converted car that was auctioned off!

After it sold in auction the buyer put it up on ebay, and now on mecum to be sold this coming week. :cheers:
