Movie Star VW's ?
Randy Carlson
Do you know of any movies that have had a VW in them? I am trying to put
together a list for a future project and could certainly use your help.
So what movie? and what VW?
Here is the list that I have so far...
Herbie of course
Back to the Future= bus
Pretty in Pink= ghia
Footloose= bug
Sleeper= bug
Money Pit= bug (all lit up)
Uncle Buck= bug (clown car)
The Bellboy(Jerry Lewis)= bug
Fast Times at Ridgemont High= bus
If you know of any I missed, let me know, I will update the list every
couple of days!!
Thanks!!

At least Newman keep his German.
When I was younger ( a lot younger ) growing up in So. Cal., the late
Steve McQueen was rumored to have taken a ' vert ( year unknown ) and
somehow stuffed a 351 Ford into it. Don't know if it's true or not, but
that was the story floating around at the old Horespower Engineering shop
in the mid 60's.

Yes it was Witness. The car wouldn't run during most of the movie.
He got it going just in time.. I believe it was a type 4, and it's
probably the only movie with so much footage of a squareback.
For those who haven't seen it, it's is a good movie, and worth renting.

I seem to remember from those days, people were talking about a reversed

Me neither as far as Steve McQueen is concerned, but in Holland I have
seen both a bus and 2 bugs (non convertibles!) with that setup. C:-))
It was even done with the "regular" 4 bangers for rally-cross, it is

In "The Milagro Beanfield War" (1988) the lawyer, Charlie Bloom,
played by John Heard, drives a white, mid-sixties, microbus.

I know of two movies that have VW's in 'em...the first Gremlins, that main
character (who can remember?) had trouble starting his beetle, and an
older movie with Mickey Rooney driving a VW beetle convertible. i don't
remeber the name, but the plot of the movie was about a scavenger hunt
across the United States. The winner recieved a dead uncle's (?) vast
fortune. Hope this helps, Ross, and good luck huntin'!

A similar question came up earlier when someone just saw Doc Hollywood
and saw Michael J. Fox driving what he or she yhought was a Ghia. That
person was wondering how many other movies have Ghias in them.
Although the car driven in Doc Hollywood was a 1956 Porche 356
speedster and not a Ghia, the combined readers of the newsgroup came
up with the following occurrences of Ghia's in movies and TV programs.
- Mike Meyers drives one in: So I Married An Axe Murderer
- Robert Redford Drives a red convertible in: Sneakers
- Kramer from Seinfeld Drives a blue convertible in a couple of the
episodes when he runs away to california.
-Get Meaxwell Smart drove a Ghia for part of the TV series run.
-There's a red Ghia cabriolet ignoring Roger Moore's
hitch-hiking efforts in: Octopusy
-There's a Ghia Cabrio in: The Sculptress (BBC series)
-In the new Green Day video a Ghia gets smashed...
-In The Rock, at the end of the car chase sequence
there is a ghia wrecked in the background.
-In one of those old Disney movies, (the Kid
with the computer brain?) Dean Quimbly drives a Ghia
with a bungee cord door latch.
-.In the 1982 movie Valley Girl. (starring Deborah Foreman
and Nicolas Cage), there is a convertible Ghia.

In Mr. Holland's Opus, they keep showing this 23 window bus outside of
their apartment. It is never driven, but shows up at least twice.
I think that someone already mentioned Gremlins...
TV: Dr. Louis drives/drove a nice baby-blue bug in ER.
Ghia:
>- Mike Meyers drives one in: So I Married An Axe Murderer
I was about to mention that one as well. Just watched it again.

Also in Sneakers, I believe that it is a bus that Marty tries to start in
the very beginning of the movie.

I've seen a movie (usually late-nite TV) called Castle Keep, with a
bunch of American soldiers in WWII Germany. One soldier *HATES* every
car/Jeep etc. they drive until he commandeers a split-window Bug, which
he falls in love with. His buddies push it into the moat of the castle
they're in, and it floats. Somehow, the guy gets into the Bug and drives
it out of the moat. Don't ask me how that worked. :-/

Well, there were several bugs parked around in The Lost Boys. In that
Stephen King movie based on the novella 'Sometimes They Return' the
teacher drives a T2 bus or camper. Back to Future was already mentioned,
I think.
And who could ever forget the blue '69 bug that Maude stole from the priest
and painted the cristopherus plate on its dashboard in that all-time
classic 'Harold and Maude'? I did like the first hearse too, though...
anyone know its model and year, BTW?

2nd - Marge Simsons' sisters drive an orange VW Thing !!!
Emily Conroy
Please excuse if someone has already mentioned, but ...
I watched The Rock last night and a cable car wiped out a little Love
Bug. Soo sad...

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, since I just joined the
thread...
But if you watch the famous chase scene through San Francisco in the movie
Bullet with Steve McQueen, the streets are FILLED with VWs. In fact, I
think he passes the same orange one at least three times.
And then, the chase climaxes in FRONT OF A VW DEALERSHIP!!

A white Ghia also went up (quite literally) during that scene. If you
look quickly before it is destroyed, you can see that it already was a
little less than a mere parts car.
But that's okay because one of the stars of "That thing you do" (Tom
Hank's recent movie) drives a convertable black Ghia. Just like that
ax-murderer comedy a couple of years ago. ("I married an ax murderer"?)
Or Kramer driving a blue 'vert Ghia when Seinfeld and his pals were in LA.
I hope one day my car is "noticed" and asked to be in a film.
Does anyone rent their cars to the movie business? I know that _old_ cars
are in movies a lot, but our VW's are getting older too. Good experiences?
Bad experiences?

series, The Highwayman. Got a decent day rate. Free lunch, too!
The thing also appeared in a Phoenix market commercial for an auto
dealer as a p.o.s to be traded :)
Beats working for a living!
Have fun,

Anybody know what type of car Maxwell Smart drove in "Get Smart" (When the
series started, not the later portion).
Hint: it was air cooled!

I thought that he originally drove a Sunbeam Alpine (or was it a Tiger), and
then later drove the Ghia, or was it really the other way around?

In the old TV series "V", I watched it last night on Sci-Fi, one of the
main female drives a White Convertable Bug. Didn't see to much of it so I
couldn't tell the year, yet.

There are vw's in some of Russ Meyer's films, including a chase scene
involving a buggy (Beyond the valley of the dolls or supervixens i
think) Been a long time since I've seen these classics though!

There is a lime green Volkswagen Beetle in the movie Extreme Measures. It
wins out in a chase scene. :)
