Oldsmobiles in movies!

Olds64 · 04-24-2008, 06:15 PM

Check out the Oldsmobile!

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_2445-Ol...ed2f1efb354d3e

I was watching Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone for the trillionth time this evening. It is awsome that they use a 442. Too bad it has such a small part in the movie.

If you watch the movie you will see Sly and Sandra Bullock bust through the floor of an Oldsmobile dealership in the 442 right before the final chase scene. The wall of the Olds dealership says "Believe in the Future." I don't even think this was an Oldsmobile logo. Too bad Olds didn't make it to 2032.

I wonder what the other cars in the Olds dealership were...

Yes, I have no life.

Yeah, too bad Olds didn't last that long. Sort of a sad harbringer. And you do have a life, it's just different.

There are some that I have seen but do not recall the movie but one that I have never heard metioned before is a very brief scene in The Eraser with Arnold Schwartz ... (whatever) and Vanesse Williams where they borrow a car from an old priest friend of the governator. It was a glass top Vista Cruiser but I cannot recall the exact year. A 69 or 70, maybe. I've looked for pictures on the web with no luck.

Olds64 · 04-30-2008, 06:06 PM

Here is a picture of the car in Eraser that you might be thinking about. I have the Eraser movie so I should double check it. However, I thought it was this Cadillac. I should check the other Arnold movies I have and see if he drives and Olds in any of them (I love the Arnold Schwarzenneger films).

Come on. Custom Cruiser in Leathel Weapon 2

74olds442 · 05-01-2008, 04:52 AM

Hey in that video someone put a Chebby sticker on that car! That's like putting a turd on a Picasso, Eh?

74olds442 · 05-01-2008, 04:54 AM

And don't forget the gold convertable Woody drove in Kingpin. ( i forget what year). Is it me, or does Woody always seem to drive an Olds in his movies?

Olds64 · 05-01-2008, 05:08 AM

AWSOME! I will have to watch Lethal Weapon 2 this evening. I just got all 4 of them used for about $15. I watched the first one last night. Now I have something to look forward to this evening.

I think he's got a thing for Oldsmobiles. He does have them in a lot of his movies

Jim's rare 80 · 05-02-2008, 02:51 AM

But........Does he have any in his garage>

Olds64 · 05-02-2008, 03:38 AM

I wonder if Jay Leno has any Oldsmobiles in his garage?

Oldsguy · 05-02-2008, 04:28 AM

I think so, there was a Toronado I think. I want to say turbo charged but that may be wrong.

70oldsW30 · 05-02-2008, 10:08 AM

Here is a couple of pics of Jay Leno's Toro

Oh, and by the way I can tell the difference between a caddy and a Vist Cruiser. lol Now, maybe I have the wrong movie ...

Oldsguy · 05-02-2008, 12:11 PM

Yeah but too bad it isn't a turbo charged Oldsmobile engine in it. Looks like a modern GM LS1 or some sort.

Sorry.

I still need to check that one out though. I seem to remember Arnold driving around in a Vista Cruiser in one of his movies. I am just not sure which one it is.

68conv455 · 05-02-2008, 06:36 PM

Beverly Hills Cop 2 is on tonight. Axle is driving a red 68 olds cutlass convertible with white interior.
Also, I think Leno's Toro has a new GM 572. GM worked closely with him on it.

Pghstarsky · 05-04-2008, 11:49 AM

Just watched kingpin today, he drives a beat up 72 cutlass supreme convertable.

aliensatemybuick · 05-04-2008, 06:17 PM

I watched Kingpin this weekend...and I'd swear the car is a '71 with a '70 rear bumper in the early "1979" scenes (i.e. when nice) but changes to what looks like a '72 in the "present" (i.e. when beat-up). Its a little hard to tell the year in the later scenes, since the taillights have red reflector tape over them and the grill is gone, but the headlight bezels were shiney and not painted (maybe the black paint wore off?). The hood also changes (diecast "louvers" towards the fenders early on, then none later). Almost strikes me as an intentional mish-mash.

Pghstarsky · 05-05-2008, 06:27 PM

Yeah, I thought it changed around, but I thought maybe I was just crazy too.

68conv455 · 05-05-2008, 07:01 PM

Another movie with Joe Pechi (sp?) set in NYC featured a Toronado. I've never seen the movie, and I don't know the name of it, but the car was for sale on ebay a while ago. It had photo's of the car with Joe in it and pretty good documentation.

The_Jeremiah · 05-05-2008, 08:17 PM

Gumball rally, one scene when they leave the gas station, the camera pans through traffic and an oldsmobile that kind of looks like a toronado is sitting in traffic. Its a background thing though.

UCF72Cutlass · 05-13-2008, 05:39 AM

Couple movies with some very nice cutlasses are "the next karate kid" and the remake of "the hitcher"...both get destroyed though

#1CutlassSupreme · 05-13-2008, 09:45 AM

lots of Oldsmobiles in 'Dazed and Confused'. Too bad most of them were in the background or just driving by. Great movie for cars.

Also, the movie "Dead Silence" with the scary ventriloquist dolls. The kid drives I think a red 71' Cutlass.

Pghstarsky · 05-13-2008, 02:13 PM

Oh yeah, there's a nice olds at that drive up fast food place.

If you're talking about the black one, that was a Chevelle with a 396 in it.
