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
Tom Perso
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... smile.gif

Today I was watching USA and the movie was "Money Talks", I think, with Chris Tucker. Then there is a scene were they block off a bridge and first car they stopped was a yellow 914. I just thought it was cool and exciting.

It was 6 months before I ever noticed it, a white 75-76 with Empi wheels I think

There is a film that I saw a few years ago that had a 914 as the main car... it was pretty beat up and was hand painted, but still looked cool ;-)

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.

LOL, those are 2 of my favorite movies... simply great!


I wasn't even going to watch intolerable Cruelty until I found out a 914 was in it.. turned out to be a decent movie... biggrin.gif

clap.gif 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.

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?

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...

White 914 in National Lampoon's Vacation. It's parked on the curb with a surf board sticking out of the open targa top when Chevy Chase AKA Clarke Griswold is buying the BB gun at the sporting goods store.

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!!

I just saw a white 914 pass Dirty Harry on the bay bridge in the Dead Pool!

Saw 2 different teeners in the movie "9 to 5" the other day.
STL914
Just had another movie having 914 content: The Fury with Kirk Duglas and Amy Irving made in 1978. Amy Irving and her "Mother" drive to some institute and they park in front of a Irish green 914. It's playing now on the FMC channel.

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.......
gopack
I posted this one before, but there is one in 9 To 5, on the street, and then again a minute later when they park in a parking ramp to bring dabny coleman's character to the hospital after they poison him!

I saw Nine to Five last night oddly enough. I think it had at least three teener cameos. If you think of more, feel free to add them here: http://orca.mojam.com/914/TeenerMovies

I know there's a stunt movie out there, with a close-up shot of Driving the car in many scene as well as shots of it carrenning around corners.

For the life of me,I'haven't been able to find the title of the movie, and it's not "Stuntman"

Story about,some one is killing the stuntman/woman
God I wish I have that movie!
So.Cal.914
The movie "Carrie" , as Carrie and her escort are walking up a hill towards the

Gym where they held the prom. Looked like a 73 and clean.
STL914
A few weeks back I saw another movie having 914 content: The Fury with Kirk Duglas and Amy Irving made in 1978. Amy Irving and her "Mother" drive to some institute and they park in front of a Irish green 914. The 914 is there in several other scenes as well.

I'm pretty sure the parked black one was a 6, and the other was a 4.

Wow, I checked the page and it was depressing how few there were. I've been getting '70s movies on NetFlix and sorta keeping my eyes open. Now I won't bother...

There's a brief glimpse of a nice looking 914 in this clip from the pilot episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch

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.


(Apologies to Jimmy Buffett - for bastardizing one of his lines)

How can that website have possibly left out the teener (with surf board no less!) in the original National Lampoon Vacation???!!!

Saw a shot of a 914 Fuchs wheel at the beginning of a Cars video on TheTube music video channel.

Without the rest of the car unfortunately.

Cheers,
