Being from Ottawa, Canada, I have to admit that I get too amused whenever American TV mentions Canada. It's an odd patriotic thing.
In that same light, I get giggly whenever I see a Challenger in a movie. Not just blatant like Vanishing Point, but just brief cameos. There is a sweet Chally 'vert in The Craft, and Ass-ton Kutcher has one in Just Married, although it makes Joe Dirt's Superbird look like a show car
I recall reading a brief article, where the Oliver Stone says he used an orange Challenger 'vert for Natural Born Killers because he thought it looked like a car a psycho would drive
As much as I hate to admit it (especially that LAME ejector seat BS) I really liked parts of 2Fast 2Furious because of the Hemi Chally. The street race where the little turbo was farting, and Fabio revs the Hemi, echoing into the night gave me chills as a flood of stop light showdowns came flooding back.
Other than Phantasm, I don't recall any 'Cudas (except the infamous Nash Bridges 'Cuda,..sweeeeeet)
Does anybody else sit up in their theatre seat when they see a Chally unexpected on screen??
Feel free to share examples of films with an E-Bod that really caught your attention.
My favorite TV reference has to be good ol' Al Bundy, and his undying dedication to his Dodge (err, well, his Duster). The car wash episode was the BEST!! When they thought they lost his Dodge, but it turns out that when they washed off all of the dirt, it was a different colour..a gorgeous sparkling red.
Manager: I apologize Mr. Bundy for losing your car. We could replace it..how does a new Honda sound?
Al: Like an old lawnmower I WANT MY DODGE!!!
