About 3/4 through the movie George Clooney is riding in the passenger seat talking on the phone. The car is a open targa, the back pad looks like a 914. Then there is a night shot of the rear of the car pulling up to a house. It's a quick glimpse but I think it's a 914. If it is I thought it would be strange to have a 914 in a current movie. Did anyone else see this?

Posted by: sj914 Oct 13 2003, 11:45 AM

Very interesting. I saw an episode of E.R. that had George Clooney opening the rear trunk of a 914.

Apparently, someone needs to get George Clooney to join our club!

what movie?

Posted by: SirAndy Oct 13 2003, 07:55 PM

like the title of this post says:

"Intolerable Cruelty"

Posted by: drew365 Oct 13 2003, 07:55 PM

The one in the subtitle: Intolerable Cruelty. Good movie by the way. Very funny, the Cohen brothers have a touch.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Oct 13 2003, 08:39 PM

ah... i thought they were cruel to the car

Wrigley is one of these great characters. “He completely worships the ground that Miles walks on,” says Adelstein about his character. “Everything that he has is a knock-off of something of Miles’ – his watch, his suits, Miles drives a 2002 Porsche, Wrigley drives a 1975 Porsche . He is a cutthroat divorce lawyer, very good at what he does, but he can’t help crying hysterically at weddings because he’s such a softy on the inside.”

Catherine Zeta Jones is pretty cute though, huh?

Posted by: Boldylocks Oct 14 2003, 01:12 PM

I had a short film run around the country in 2002. In the film my old '76 2.0L was driven by two guys who were subsequetly 'shot' by the lead actress.

It was nice to put the car on the big screen and the feature film version of the short will feature the car a little more prominantly.

They are awsome cars, cheated by bad marketing and BIG MUSCLE car America.

HA, to the mini's!!!

914's nothing like them on the planet.

Posted by: JRust Jan 27 2004, 02:49 PM

Hey guys I watched the movie Intolerable Cruelty last night! It has Catherine Zeta Jones & George Clooney. I'm watching it with the wife last night. It's about 3/4 of the way thru & I can't say it was great. All of a sudden George is riding with his lawyer friend somewhere. It just show a side view of them inside the car. You don't actually see the 914 until they stop. Anyway something is looking familiar about that back window. I move up in my seat & I'll be darned if I don't see this light sitting in the middle of the backpad. I just about jump out of my seat telling my wife. IT'S A 914! IT'S A 914! IT'S A 914! Then I can see the details a little better. I clearly see the seat backs & am sure the car is in fact a 914. When they stop the lighting sucks too. Anyone who isn't familiar with 914's would never see what is was!
Anyway it has probably allready been posted. I can't say the movie kicks but or anything. It was worth it just for the 914 sighting though

I saw one the other day that hasn't been credited yet:

Annie Hall - the Woody Allen Movie. At the end of the film, Woody and Annie are having lunch in LA, and a blue 914 drives by on the street behind her head.

Fiid.

Posted by: mike_the_man Jan 27 2004, 03:57 PM

I said the same thing when I saw Intollerable Cruelty. My girlfriend didn't seem to care. It sure didn't sound like a 914, did it?

Posted by: JRust Jan 27 2004, 04:17 PM

No it didn't sound like on at all! I thought that was a little weird. I guess we needed to be able to hear them talking with the top off. Would have been nice to see Cathren in there too with her top off too

Watching movie last night, damn if george clooney and some other guy were riding in a red 914.

It was a night scene and first you just see the interior, later you see the car from the rear skid to a stop. Just a few seconds but a nice suprise.

In the last month while channel surfing I have seen some 914's in older movies.


In the Movie Vacation Chevy Chase goes into the sporting good store
to purchase an air pistol. Parked outside the store is a White 914 with the Top off
and a Surf Board sticking out.

In the Dolly Parton Movie 9-5 I saw 2 914's. They just find out the boss went to the
Hospital and they come flying out of the parking garage. Just before the car comes
out of the garage a 914 zips accross the screen I think its silver.
Next scene they arrive at the Hospital parking lot and park next to a really nice looking 914... Might even be a 914/6 its Black or a dark color

A few years ago I was watching news coverage of one of the fires/floods/mud slides in California and during an interview with a homeowner I saw a silver 914 with flares drive by in the background. Ok, sure, maybe not big news in California but in Brackney, PA it's an event. Wondered if it belonged to anyone that ended up here...

Spotted a 914 in 1987 movie "Roxanne" with Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah.

Didn't Get Smart drive up in a 914 at the start of the show? I know he had an Opel GT and maybe an Karmann Ghia. Yeah, I'm reminiscing...

Posted by: VegasRacer May 8 2004, 03:48 AM

No he never drove a 914.
He used 2 Sunbeams - an Alpine and a Tiger.
He did also use a Kharman Ghia and an Opel GT.

Sunbeam Tiger
Now there is a cool car. Power to spare. If you look into obtaining one, nice ones are $20K +

Posted by: watsonrx13 May 8 2004, 08:45 AM

They are cool cars. I have a buddy of mine that owns one that was passed down from his Dad. The Dad was the second owner. My buddy is very knowledable of the Tigers and he's qualified/certified to authenticate a car as a Tiger. When I started looking at restoring a car, he wanted me to get a Tiger and he would have helped with the restoration. We couldn't find one that was for sale, before I found the 914 I have. He knew a neighbor that had a MK II that needed restoration, but the guy wouldn't fix it or sell it. Hopefully he can get the guy to sell it and finally get a great car back on the road.

Rockford Files man! Jimmy's lady friend was in several episodes and she drove
a 914. Garner had a few episodes where he was getting a ride from her also. There was a 914 in that episode he got beat up. 853OKG

I wanted a Tiger back then and heard they were fast but squirrely. I did get an Opel though.

There's a blue 914 drives accross in the background in "Annie Hall" the Woody Allen movie. It's towards the end when they do Brunch in LA.

Posted by: ein 6er May 9 2004, 05:31 PM

hey, i saw 9 to 5 today, well at least the part with the 914s. the 1st one was silver with steel wheels and hubcaps, i think it was a 6. the exhaust looked like a stock 6 exhaust. the second one looked black, looked like the sail and targa trim were blacked out and the rear bumper was black. it had 4 lug fuchs and what looked like a monza 4 tip exhaust. funny that the 2 were in the same hospital scenes. what's with 914s and hospital scenes?!?

9 to 5 was on the AMC channel and it's scheduled to come on again overnight and tomorrow.

now i got to see the other movies!!

I had a MkII Tiger. The last model made after Chrysler bought Rootes and killed the Tiger because it didn't want to sell a Ford product. It had a small Chrysler five star emblem on the one front fender, Ford engine, mfg by Rootes. Talk about a bastard child. I miss the car but the rear suspension was no good for twisties.

Watched Murder by Numbers (Sandra Bullock) and saw an orange 914. It pulled into a parking space in the background during the scene where Richie Haywood was on a pay phone with the D.A. Did anybody else catch it?

Posted by: hargray2 Jun 27 2004, 10:13 PM

I've got another sighting that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere.
In "Menace II Society" some guys are in a parking garage and steal a car and are blocked in by the police when they try to drive out. They try to run and hide behind
some other cars--one is a white 914! Not especially my type of movie--just happened to park on that particular channel long enough to catch another rare sighting

Posted by: seanery Oct 30 2004, 05:13 PM

Right after Carrie pushes her mother onto the bed when she is leaving to go to the prom, they cut to a wide shot of people walking up the street to enter the prom, there is an Olympic blue teener dominating the lower left corner of the screen.

It was amazing - and guess who pointed it out that it was a 914 almost as quickly as I did?

My wife - so there.

Score.

Posted by: skline Dec 5 2004, 04:48 PM

That was was brought up before, it's a red 6. The ones that are cool is, if you rent old movies from the 70's you see a lot of them. I was watching reruns from the 70's on Nick at night and there are almost always 914's in those.

ya i saw the one in Uintolerable cruelty but you can only see the interior and a small part of the body. the light on the seat pad and the grille under the windshield gave it away.

theres also a yellow 4 in the 80's movie called Roxan - with SEVE MARTIN

Posted by: Tom Perso Dec 6 2004, 04:28 PM

We saw that movie in the theaters... I yelled (quitely) to my wife

"That's a 914!!!!"

She says "Yeah, you can tell by the interior light and it's a two-seater"

God I love her...

I'm guessing you are talking about Rancid Aluminium. The 914 features heavily although it was painted matt black and looked a bit run down.

They don't rate the movie too highly!! No mention what so ever about the black (what looked hand painted) rough 914... Shame may have got a bigger audience (slightly ;-) )

Verdict:
If you're in the mood for a nice British caper, go rent Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch. This movie is guilty of having too many plot holes and is sentenced five to ten for a sloppy script.

In the movie "Roxanne", with Steve Martin as the fire department chief, there is a yellow 914 parked outside the bookstore in a seen where he is walking out of it. It has riviera wheels and the molding across the sides down the middle. Nice car.

Posted by: STL914 Jul 16 2005, 02:37 PM

This may be another 914 sighting in a movie.

I started watching The Odessa File with John Voight this afternoon on TCM. About 5 minutes into the film, taking place in Germany, what appears to be a red 914 is seen driving down the street at night. It all happened so quickly, I may be completely wrong here. Although the plot centers around Germany in 1963, it's possible that was a 914 due to the year the film was made, 1974. Has anyone else seen the film and seen the scene I'm referring to?

Posted by: dlo914 Jul 16 2005, 05:21 PM

there's a whte 75' 914 in the movie Cheech & Chong "Up In Smoke" it's in the scene where the cops dressed up as monks are robes are crossing the street to sneak into a theater...

So this weekend, I was flipping the channels, and came across what was possibly the absolute WORST movie ever made. A complete waste of film:

"Class of 1999.. Part II"

About a killer cyborg substitute teacher..... that kills students, faculty, etc. I still can't believe there was a part 1.... nevermind part 2.

Nevertheless.. there was a great 914 sighting..... on the street, when the boyfriend of the lead actress is trying to run over the gang member when he was hanging out on the street corner dancing--LOL

Showed the 914 like 3 times!!

It was the best part of the movie!!

lots' of inside shots as he drives it

But don't know the name of the movie.
I'm hopeing somebody remembers the name of the movie.

Story about stunt mens and women are being killed in stunts.
They even drive the PO (Killed) motorcycles off of a cliff, along some coast.

majkos,

Thankyou!

I knew I wasn't having one of those flashbacks my parents warned me about..I do remember this movie. My recollection was yellow - maybe even a six. Up and down the coast, stunt drivers and I, too searched (and watched) "stuntmen/stuntman, etc" and came up empty. The movie does exist, but I've never seen it again.

I, too don't remember the name of his movie.

My two sons have been into watching animal movies lately so I checked out netfix's animal movies and found an oldie that I has seen as a boy... C.H.O.M.P.S.

Watching it last night, I was excited to see Valerie Bertineli driving a white 914 throughout the movie. Lots of great 914 footage!

Posted by: Mid_Engine_914 Oct 7 2007, 02:16 PM

If she drives a 914 throughout the movie, I'm gonna have to buy the DVD.

I was watching a movie on FX yesterday.

Some flick about this idiot guy who need 30,000 bucks to pay for his marriage ceremony and his niece's college tuition. He ends up deciding to rip off his soon-to-be step father. There's a scene where he pulls out of a parking spot, and there is a zambezi green teener in the space behind him.

My favourite is early on in "The Odessa File", while the credits are still appearing, there is a shot of a German street, at night, in the rain.

A 914 passes the camera, headlights-up.

Posted by: GTPatrick Aug 18 2008, 01:13 PM

While watching Michael Keyser's " The Speed Merchants " DVD , I saw a few shots of 914's in it .

The first shot was early in the beginning , showing early shots of Sebring 12 hr race , of a head on shot of an orange 914 . There was a white 914 quickie shot also in the Sebring venue . There was also I believe a 914 in the LeMans section of the DVD .

I saw a 914 turning out of an alley on TMZ (tv show) the other day. Called my wife over to show her.

I could not find an online version of the clip though.

I'm too lazy to go through the registration process to post a new entry
but there are several scenes with a red 914 GT in the movie

I was looking at the 914s in there and ran across this one i think its misidentified as a 73. it looks to me as a 70-72 possibly a /6 by the wheels.. although someone swears there is bumper tits on the front i dont see them...

In the movie Money Talks, right before they block off the bridge and blow up the bus to escape... those two Suburbans are the cars that block the traffic, though I think the 914 could have driven under them

Posted by: biosurfer1 Dec 2 2009, 04:14 PM

Here it again and you can actually read the license...looks like "2TDG292"...anyone here????

Posted by: High Path Dec 2 2009, 06:00 PM

They never ended up making a movie of it but... the novel "The Wind-Chill Factor" had a main character who drove a 914. His ex-wife still did mechanical work on it (if I recall correctly she adjusted the valves). Oh, and she was a mechanic-with benefits, as they still slept together too.

The book was also set in the Twin Cities, including a murder on the walking path around Lake Harriet.

I don't recall much about the plot, but I guess the home town, and 914 references factored in my wanting to read it.

Posted by: 6freak Dec 2 2009, 09:21 PM

I remember a movie a very long time ago with to girls in a 914 ! they said to the two boys in the hotrod if you can catch us you can have us....they ran out of gas during the chase.....LMAO....seems i remember it was around the same time as American graffiti

We were watching Zodiac tonight, I was amazed by all the cool 70's cars that were in such good shape (including a very nice orange Rabbit). I mentioned to Val that I was waiting to see a 914.

About an hour later she says "914!" as this one drives past:

Yep,
Beth ( his lawyer), drove them in several episodes. I saw white, red, and green ones. The one where Jim was driving the red one ( or was it orange?), one scene was of him in a curve with both hands occupied and you hear the car shift gears. Movie magic!
Saw one in an add for a new movie. Has a thief saying " I only steal Porsches" and then cuts to a dark street and there is a black 914 in the background. YA! Hope I can remember the name of the movie so I can watch it.

Went to see "Hot Tub Time Machine" today (opened this past Friday), it was very funny, and best of all there was a 914 in the movie! For anyone going to see the movie, the 914 is parked on the right side of the main street of the town (they show this clip twice) and it's covered in snow.

Anyone else see it?

My wife called me the other day to tell me that while trolling on the web she found an old clip of "The Facts of Life" and she said that Jo was wearing a 914 sweater.

Obscure, yet amazing that my wife noticed the 914 (maybe I've finally gotten to her)

Why is it that I started hearing Merle Haggards voice in my head at this point.
Is this the "Fuchs of Hazard"?

Posted by: ClayPerrine Nov 25 2012, 11:43 AM

OK.. I am a bit intrigued by this movie, so I did some research online.

At 1:54, the 914 makes a turn from Washington Avenue onto North 6th street. This is where the girl tries to fall out of the car because she wasn't wearing a seat belt.



At 2:04, they had to reverse direction for filming, because they are then going south on North 6th street back in the direction of Washington avenue.



Using google maps, you can see the jail changes sides of the road. Also the building in the distance is distinctive.


At 2:27, the manage to jump one block northeast to 5th street, and that is where the white Ford crashes into the little cop scooter writing parking tickets.



You can tell because of the distinctive building with the diamond shaped insets.

2:33 The Ford crashes into the "Hub Clotheiers" shop. It's still there, although it has changed a bit.



At 2:43 they back up and reset for the sidewalk scene. The 914 driving on the sidewalk goes past the Hub Clotheiers on Austin Avenue, and then past the building with the ridges in the walls and the pillars. It's now a Bank of America, but I don't know what it was then.



At 3:00. still on Austin Avenue, they go past the guy on the ladder at the TSO building. The building is still there, but TSO is not. You can see the sign is still around.



At 3:06, they leave the curb at Austin Avenue and 6th street.




I think the bus jump happens at somewhere on Jackson street, but I can't be sure.

Posted by: ClayPerrine Nov 25 2012, 11:56 AM

And the parking deck is at 5th and Washington.

By the looks of the brick building in the background, I'd guess the jump took place near 7th St. & Mary Ave.

Posted by: naro914 Nov 25 2012, 02:38 PM

I can personally attest to the fact that when a 914 goes airborne...it will land directly on the nose like it did in this jump - not 'flat' like other cars do in the movies...

Posted by: Sleepin Nov 25 2012, 02:41 PM

We 'Mericans only believe it is a true jump if dust or smoke is following the car.

Posted by: tomeric914 Nov 25 2012, 03:16 PM

So, did they survive the jump and subsequent crash with no seat belts on?

Hey what a great 914 destination, for all ya in Texas...

Posted by: Hammy Nov 25 2012, 03:55 PM

Great shots! I've never heard of this film. That parking garage is perfect for the 914 to lose a tail. In real life I don't think the Mercedes could've kept up.
And you can't lose a girl out the passenger door, I can attest to that one The lady holding the dash for dear life is pretty real though

Posted by: Spoke Nov 25 2012, 03:59 PM

In the last scene showing the girl before the jump, the passenger door is magically back on.

Posted by: Hammy Nov 25 2012, 04:06 PM

Probably two 914's used like someone mentioned above. One with the riv's for the chase scenes and door, one with the (fake?) fuchs for the jump.

Posted by: ArtechnikA Nov 26 2012, 05:19 AM

Yes, although he can't hit anything, he gets credit for 10 or 12 tactical reloads in a revolver while standing in a moving car.

But I suppose there is much to be said for the '73+ door beams. That door took a direct hit in the upholstery but there was no exit wound through the sheet metal. As we see 2 scenes later, it's not like they were trying to save the door...

Posted by: ClayPerrine Nov 26 2012, 07:11 AM

I think that it is a failure of the Waco police department. Even in Texas, waving a gun out the window of a car will get someone to call 911 and get you pulled over. Much less standing in the sun roof and repeatedly firing it while driving. That will draw cops like draws flies.

Posted by: Jgilliam914 Nov 26 2012, 07:33 AM

But you have to remember this movie was shot when Texas still allowed open containers and had drive up windows in both bars and liquor stores and only a few people carried firearms. My how things have changed

Posted by: ClayPerrine Nov 26 2012, 12:17 PM

Uh.. "only a few people carried firearms"? That remark means you didn't live here at that time. I did and still do. Almost every pickup in my high school parking lot had a gun rack in the back. And they all had some sort of firearm in them. Most of my friends parents carried a pistol. But they had common sense not to shoot it out of a moving car like this.

And it still would have attracted cops like attracts flies.

Posted by: 442nd914s Nov 26 2012, 05:08 PM

If you look close enough, you can see smoke coming from the "grassy knoll"
Is it just me or is it coincidence that only 1-1/2 hours earlier from the original captured photo this occured:

Posted by: Jgilliam914 Nov 26 2012, 05:23 PM

I was being facetious when I wrote that. I never did understand the drive through bar and open container allowance. Although I did use this service more than once

Posted by: ArtechnikA Nov 26 2012, 06:25 PM

I never understood why it's a big deal.
Impaired driving is A Bad Thing, of course. No question.

But it's illegal to sip a beer for a hundred miles, and perfectly OK to pull over, down one, dispose of the empty, and continue on your way.

Posted by: FourBlades Nov 26 2012, 09:02 PM

The jump would have been fine if only he had a rear trunk spoiler.

He probably also relocated his battery to the front trunk to keep it from falling
into the hell hole.

I'm old enough to remember a lot of TV from back in the day but I recently encountered an early 914 in an old British Sci Fi series called UFO. Not only was I surprised to see the little jewel in this show but it appeared throughout the entire episode. Best of all the girl who owned/drove it was very attractive so I have no doubt that most of us here will find this interesting. Episode was called "The Psychobombs" & I can say w/out spoiling anything that nothing bad happened to this very early British teener; @ least not on film anyway...

Was surfing you tube & found the entire UFO series posted & knew I had not seen every episode so I started watching & noticed 2 different 911s' in that series & then came across the 914 driven by that schweet British girl (actress Deborah Grant) in the psychobomb episode & had to bring it to everyones' attention. That episode was dated MCMLXX so I figured that had to be one of the earliest 914s' on record, & an English model @ that.

The real GT class-winning /6 is shown in the actual race footage that is integrated into the film "LeMans". The scenes that are staged for the movie use a /6 that is made to look like the #40 car that not only won the GT class, but beat all the 911s that were entered as well

The accompanying photo shows the actual winning car during the race.

I remember getting that same feeling a short time back. I was tired of seeing the same old questions resurface. Then it dawned upon me that this "sea of repeated questions" is a good thing. It's an indicator of new faces coming into the "fold" which in turn guarantees the future of our endeared 914's.
On a different note I think we would do well to mind our manners and be respectful others. This is a forum dedicated to preserving and enjoying 914's. Not a damned computer forum where upon one can render his computer prowess upon others. Many of us had teenagers before computers and aren't "wired" to that line of thinking. Personally, I'm more impressed with ones ability to "make change" w/o seeing the cash register's results or the ability to pen complete sentences. Much more so than I am of ones ability to coin the correct phrase which computers understand.

Pretty sure IceT used to drive a 914. I think he was in an accident in it. I haven't seen the movie but I plan on seeing it.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Aug 16 2015, 05:39 PM

Ice T is not part of NWA...Ice Cube is.
In the day, Ice T liked to roll in Detroit iron with hydraulics .
There was this clandestine recording studio next to my house in the '90s, and one day T blocked my driveway with his '64 rag Impala. It was dropped to the ground, couldn't get it towed. He came out of the studio, jumped in the bucket, hit the switches and rode off with his posse. My wife did have a few words with T, we all had a good laugh
Anyhow the movie is doing big Box Office $$$ opening weekend, wonder what the production budget was.

Nobody actually drives it, it is just parked when the group is together someplace. Somebody tweet Ice Cube and ask him, he did the screenplay.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Aug 18 2015, 06:00 PM

Ice-T had a 914 back in the day too.

It's the car of DJ Yella >> Antoine Carraby

Getting off the tour bus scene, if you watch the background you can see him get in it.

The movie ain't bad. Brought back a bunch of memories from my high skool dayz.

Now that I think about it, I had a 914 the same time these guys did, does that make me gangsta too?

Agreed very entertaining movie well written since most of it was true!!! The 914 is definitely owned by one of the key characters I think I saw it in at least 5 scenes at one point someone actually opening the doors to get in.. Cool

The straight outta compton appearance was discussed before the movie hit theaters. It appeared in the trailer I believe...

I didn't read this entire thread, but I wonder if anyone can associate their 914 with any of these movie/TV appearances?

Posted by: bretth Feb 29 2016, 04:44 PM

Was a great movie. The 914 was driven by the band manager seen several times in the movie. BTW a school friend of mine worked on the movie and is the stunt man that kicks out a window and runs over the roof top as Easy E's double.

Posted by: dlkawashima Apr 18 2016, 03:01 AM

Episode 1-9, Dr Wells is Missing
The "German village" is actually supposed to be Innsbruck Austria. The scene below is about 4:30 into the show. Steve Austin is driving the car in the middle.



The black 914 shows up around 47 minutes into the movie. The scene below is about 50 minutes into the movie.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll have to dig up the 6mil old episodes. ..I still like the old shows.

Posted by: 7TPorsh Apr 18 2016, 09:36 AM

That German Village is the backlot at Universal Studios. When I worked there in the late 90's they had a sound stage filled with old cars; mostly American iron to use in commercials and films. I don't remember anything really pricey; especially not a 280sl.

Studios rent outside cars now; pretty good business from what I hear.

From 2003, "Intolerable Cruelty" with George Clooney and Katherine Zeta-Jones. 914 driving in the dark near the end. Might be in earlier scenes too but i started late. All you see is the dome interior light. Then it slides to a stop in the dark, EURO TAIL LIGHTS.

There is a document drama on Netflix about the guys developing a space elevator. Can't recall the name. Main guy drives a yellow teener

Drivers door lock no workee. Several shots of him climbing in and out of the passenger side. Besides the teener, pretty interesting. They take development of the elevator very seriously

Posted by: iwanta914-6 Aug 9 2016, 01:35 PM

Hmm...I'm going to have to go back and watch, I must have missed it. Great show by the way!

Posted by: Rand Aug 9 2016, 01:36 PM

Funny to think you can build a space elevator but can't fix a door. Priorities I guess. But I've been hearing about the space elevator for decades and would rather enjoy the 914 more and waste less time on something that won't happen in my lifetime (if ever).

Posted by: Carl456 Aug 9 2016, 02:07 PM

Need to go to the episode when they are hiding in the bus or the one early when they first visit the yard.

Really was a great series. Rider did a fantastic job of playing a crazy women.

This is lots of fun. Thanks for posting. Here are the translated lyrics in English:
"It's beautiful to be on Earth"

The best things in the whole day, they are the breaks.
It's always like that at school
The most beautiful things in the whole year, they are the holidays.
Even our teacher is also happy then
Then you can finally do whatever you yourself want
Then we're free and no one says "Be quiet you" anymore
The most beautiful thing in life is the freedom
For then we say: Hurrah!
It's beautiful to be on Earth
When the sun shines for young and old
You can breathe, you can go
Take delight in everything and see everything
It's beautiful to be on Earth
Says the bee to the porcupine
You and I, we agree
It's beautiful to be on Earth

I love the dark forest, mountains and lakes
And I am crazy for a popsicle
I would like to pass with the clouds, in distant lands
I would happily sit on a crocodile
The world gets smaller and smaller and the wishes vast
Why only look at how beautiful a frog in moss is also

The most beautiful thing in life is the freedom
For then we say: Hurrah!
It's beautiful to be on Earth
When the sun shines for young and old
You can breathe, you can go
Take delight in everything and see everything
It's beautiful to be on Earth
Says the bee to the porcupine
You and I, we agree
It's beautiful to be on Earth

It's beautiful to be on Earth
Says the bee to the porcupine
You and I, we agree
It's beautiful to be on Earth

This was so awful -- like a boy in Junior High was given a limitless stunt budget. Like a 70s movie made in the 80s. But I had to watch the whole thing.

The interesting thing about James Garner and The Rockford Files is that he had a bad back and an old leg injury from his time in the Korean War. Not an easy feat getting into a 914 and a 78 Firebird. During the last three or four movies that they made in the 90s, they didn't have the Firebird anymore. Garner could no longer get into it.

This is from plutotv (free internet tv), chassy channel, winner’s circle is the program. In this episode, rod emery is raising money for charity foundation. They entered the 914 for the 24 hours or lemons. They did 300 laps in total and raises over $13,000. The drivers were amazed on how the stock 914 handles and how easy it was to race. Engine, transmission and brakes were all fine. Only issue they had was when the cv joints screw came off while racing and they ran out of gas on the final lap but still cruise to the finish line. I believe the track was in Oregon.

Just watched what I think is a new movie called Finding Steve McQueen.
About 44 mins into the flick the main character stashes his ski mask and jacks a shirt out of a teener to start a fight in a bar to distract the cops from the bank heist next door. "Inspired by true events"
Don't know how to do a screen grab and it was a Chinese pirate movie site. (don't want to expose the world to anything nefarious.)

I used to work in B-Hills, would see the location team setup for the two officers on their steeds fairly regularly. The bikes were on a trailer and they were towed by a weird truck with a camera rig and other equipment. Cannot watch the show without noticing that the bikes NEVER move relative to each other. CHIPS!

I never noticed that before. Gonna have to check that one out.

Around 1982 I found a garage-kept '72 914 in the beach cities of LA, the car was 10 year old. Original everything. It was really nice. I then had to leave town, had a good offer for a contract position in Chicago. Locked the car in the garage, hired my brother to look after the house. Did not give him a garage key.

A few month later came home from Chicago and the lock on the garage door was gone. Opened the door and the car was there, car cover on it just like I left it. After a day or two my brother came by - I had not told him that I was going to be in LA ( this is WAY before cell phones) and he was shocked to see me. He said: "I guess you saw the car" to which I replied sure, seems OK. And then he started to tell the story why the lock was removed.

OK, for those of you outside of LA, every group of guys in LA has at least one dude that is going into the movie business. One of my brothers friends was always talking about this and writing scripts and critiquing movies that were at the theater - you know the guy. Turns out that while I was away he got the money to shoot a short film about a girl, a car and stolen money. Budget so LOW that they collectively decided to use my car.

So they did all of the outside action shots from a Ranchero with a camera mounted on a tripod but when it was time to do the inside shots (girl driving car, etc.) they mounted a big-ass Panaflex all over the car for different shots. One shot the passenger's side, another shot from the Targa Rail looking forward and then backward. Last was from the front windscreen for the "you are driving the car" shot.

The script called for a panic stop right up to the bad-guy. So my brother did the stunt driving ( he knew the car well and had a few 2002BMWs) and he drives like hell, slams on the brake hits the mark (Hollywood for perfect stop) and the camera comes loose and tumbles down the front of the car. Dents and gouges all the way down.

So, he tells this story and then says that miraculously the film canister kept closed and all of the film was preserved and looked great! So I am waiting for the part where they tell me about fixing the car………..still waiting!

The movie was called Gone Riding, it is long lost according to the assistant producer - my brother.



The Car - before the event - note the Ranchero in the background.

Maybe it's already listed, The Fury, from 1978.

Just after the 40 minute mark. It appears twice. The first view is just a glimpse of the top.
A moment later you get to see the whole car.

It doesn't have vinyl covered or painted Sail panels.
Rear bumper is painted.

Hey that's my car!

I answered an extras call for 70's cars and it was supposed to just be a background car. The director liked it and liked the fact the roof was removable, allowing some easy interior shots, so it ended up in a couple scenes. The production eventually ran out of money and I didn't think it would ever be finished. Thanks for posting!

I watched 1979's "Thank God It's Friday" the other night (sorry, it was on my list), and lo and behold, there is a nice shot of a 914 about 12 minutes into it! Looks to be Zambezi green. I didn't realize so many people were in the movie: Jeff Goldblum, Terri Nunn (of the group Berlin!), Lionel Richie (still in the Commodores), and the late, great Donna Summer! The movie wasn't good by any stretch, but I spotted some cool cars in there. That's Jeff Goldblum running right in front of it.

I was watching a show on Prime called "Red Oaks"...pretty good show so far, set in the 80s. Anyway, there is a scene in the third episode at a wedding, a 928 rolls up, then you see a red 914 in the background. Two spottings in one week...maybe I should buy a lottery ticket! Or maybe I watch too much TV!

I was watching Black Cat, a 1991 Hong Kong remake of La Femme Nikita, and saw a 914!



My wife and I were really excited until they shot it to hell and blew it up 10 seconds later.







It's interesting. One of the close up shots shows a gas tank door by the wheel, and in the exlposion, the Fuchs wheels magically turn into steel wheels painted to look like Fuchs. The front bumper changes as well! Hahaha

I realize that we’re geeking out on the 914s, but in nearly 3 years since it was posted, not one person here has mentioned that is Barbi Benton in the last episode scenes in that video. Let’s keep a little perspective here, fellas. Just sayin’.

One of our members now owns the LeMans winning 914-6 #40. And that is one of the 3 ultimate 914s to own. The other two are the Factory 914-8s in the Porsche Museum, so getting them is completely impossible.

Couldn't sleep last night (2:20 am) and I put on pluto TV - Chassy channel for some white noise. It was showing Porsche Road Trip - Vegas episode.

And guess who i saw in TV with his 914--- @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=3348 . A taco run in LA and a drive in LV.
Very cool! They even showed a snippet of the 914 rally. Newcomb ranch I think.

I was half as sleep so I couldn't do a screen shot.

Not sure when they will show it again but i will be in the lookout for it.

Had a weird situation last night. For some reason I watched two 1978 movies in a row. The first was ‘Thank God It’s Friday’, a disco themed movie with Donna Summers. There is a 914 leaving the front of the club in one of the scenes. A little off topic but one of the main characters, played by Jeff Goldblum, drives a 911. But as soon as that movie was over I started watching ‘Corvette Summer’ with Mark Hamill. At one point he is running after his stolen Corvette in Las Vegas. A 914 enters the scene from the left pulling through the parking lot (?) he is running through. It’s the only vehicle in the scene.

I got you all whipped...
My first 914 was a rusted 70 1.7 when I was 17.
A friend and I were driving it around at Christmas break in light snow, sliding everywhere, topless!

Suddenly we get nailed by a snowball and we chased down the subversives.

Turned out to be a teenage "sleep-over, slumber party" with 7 nubile young females of breeding age...

They liked the idea of sliding around in a sportscar, in the snow as well.

One girl on my friend's lap, one between us, three sitting on the targa bar with their legs draped over our chests, and two sitting on the upper windshield support standing on our thighs.
We were up to our necks in ...

9 people!
Lightweight people but 9 none the less.
Bottomed the 914 out like nothing else.
I actually drove around with them all of them in/on the car.
Very slowly, no sliding at all...
Didn't get anywhere with the girls but did make a good memory.
