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

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

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).

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.

Maybe someone will be able to add a screen capture.

I agree, she was amazing and deserves at least an Emmy nomination.

If you have Xfinity, a lot of them are available on On Demand.

I was watching a documentary on people trying to build an "elevator" to space with carbon nano-tubes and one of the people they were following was driving around in his 914.

I guess if you can keep the FI going you can build an elevator to space haha

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

Anyone know how many movies the 914 has made an appearance in? Seems like I always look for them in old movies. "Up in Smoke" (1978) came on the other day and captured this picture with my cell phone.

There's numerous threads on this.search!!

Yes, thank you. I found many threads about 914s in movies when I performed my initial search (about 23 pages worth) but not one that I could find that gives the number of movies a 914 has appeared in. That's why I posted the question after I had searched.

Please post a link if you were able to find one.

Good chance I am the only person on 914World to see this movie, The Sidekick (2016)

I just noticed the time, I wonder if the car is shown at 09:14?

Just watched 9 to 5 ...at least here in tje LA area...numerous scenes with 914.s. Maybe the most in any major motion picture?

Internet Movie Cars Database ... 914 list:

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Por...mp;model=Typ+47

I had no idea there was a movie cars database. Very cool.

Yeah in 9 to 5 there was a black 914 in a parking space close to the door at the hospital. Didn't see that one the first 100 times I saw that movie on HBO in the mid-80's.

Alright.
Now...
Any teeners in any GOOD (other than Le Mans) movies

Vacation. Towards the end as Clark is running in to the Sporting Goods store to buy the BB gun.

A simple search for:

yields much less than 23 pages and gives you a good number of relevant threads ...

Annie Hall (Woody Allen) not on this list....very quick drive by during outdoor restaurant scene couple of seconds after VW bug....

I took this pic a while back watching an old movie called chomps. Hard to tell, but that's valerie bertinelli. She drove the car all thru the movie.

'Roxanne', staring Steve Martin. Yellow, Rivs, side graphics. There were a number of 'classic' sports cars parked in one of the street scenes.

Money Talks with Chris Tucker, Charlie Sheen. Watched it last night. (I did not have control of the remote) yellow 914 screeches to a halt behind the two SUV's that block the bridge during the jail bus escape scene.

Was in the weird section of YouTube and found the whole movie ...

Given the current new cycle I figured it was a good time to re-watch All The President's Men and I had my eye out for period cars on the street. Sure enough, you can see what is probably a fairly new 914!

Consolificated all the "914s in the movies" threads into one big one ...

Great link!

Wow !
I misunderestimated your vocabulary

It's a "German thing"....just take parts of one word...and add it another...and another...and another...

WINNING - the racing life of Paul Newman

You can catch Beth Davenport, Rockford's lady attorney, driving hers in various episodes of The Rockford Files. .

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.

I have the impression the movie producers themselves had no idea what would happen when they tried to jump the 914 over the school bus.

Didn't go through the whole thread but did check the imdb.com link and didn't see this one: opening scene of "Silver Streak" has a 914 on the street. Very obvious.

Just saw a red one with Fuchs and rust repair on right cowl in Strike Back, Season 3, Ep. 6 @ 5:31. Pretty car.

From Netflix, movie about the founding of National Lampoon.

A Futile and Stupid Gesture



Co-founder Doug Kenney had one.

Not sure if it was yellow like the one in the movie.

My favorite show is The Rockford Files. Love seeing the 914 in the various episodes. There's one episode where Rockford makes a criminal named Johnny lay down on the hood of the 914. I wonder if he dented it? I believe the episode was called Charlie Harris at LargeClick to view attachment

About 1/2 way thru the movie "Thief" with James Caan 1981

The police stop Caan just as he is about to enter a onramp and a blue 914 has to detour around the stop.......

Someone spent some time on this! CHiPs scenes featuring the 914:

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.Click to view attachment

That very last scene ... it was refreshing to see a vehicle on fire other than the one with a VW engine.
