240Z in movies

[Project Z]

I hope this isn't too off topic but this is my favorite z movie, sorry not on the big screen but I love youtube.

Sorry if you guys have seen this before but I just saw it for the first time this morning. That thing is nuts.

A scene in "Corvette Summer" has a customized red Z on display in a Las Vegas casino.

Wow! detailed site.

I found a 240z in a old arcade game called Double Dragon 3 : The Rosetta Stones (1991)

i know this is old, but i think that is more of a 2000gt flavour....

i'm with ProjectZ on this one. that is the coolest thing ever. well maybe if he did it with an L28et, that would be cooler. But still nuts!!

(Corrections):

-The film "Boogie Nights" features a red 280ZX. Not a 240Z. sorry!

-The Z in "Back To The Future" parked outside the aeroybics gym is an orange 240Z.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

-There are a clutch of red 240Z's however in some Chinese Jackie Chan movie, where the Z's are the bad guys' rides.

-In the Woodie Allen film "Annie Hall" the title character drives a gold 280Z.

-There are actually 4 Z Cars that I am aware of from the Transformers:

Prowl 280ZX

Bluestreak 280ZX

Smokescreen 280ZX racer

and a Protectobot (can't remember his name) 300ZX (Z31) police car

-In Knight Rider 2000 K.I.T. is converted from a Trans-Am to a 300ZX.

...............just kidding.

"Invasion of the body snatchers" (1978? version) - Donald Sutherland and his love interest are driving downtown early in the film, talking about Erwin Rummell (?) - They pass a Z on the left side of the street. I went back and zoomed - pretty blurry and the kids gave me greif, so I dropped it. Couldn't tell which year.

Alpha Dog, during the street fair (?), around the time when they go into the store for drinks...

The screen goes so quickly, I couldn't see what model, but it is an S30, not an S130.

One good place to see Z's (I see at least one in most every episode) is 'Rockford Files'. It's on the Sleuth Channel, every morning I think.

Just caught part of what I believe was an insurance commercial - see how much attention I pay to TV ads - in it is what appears to be a red or reddish-orange 260/280Z that has been stripped. No doors. Car is in a back lot with what looks like a For Sale sign on the windshield. I think one guy was showing the other guy the car. He says something like "They didn't get the stereo." Seems to make him happy. Funny, I had just flashed on thinking of Z's in commercials and this one comes up. It shows the car for such a short period I hope they run it again so I can check it out better and find out what the commercial actually is. The car looked like a 2+2 from the little I saw of it.

Seen a grey w/ black fender 240z in the movie Zodiac right before her sees the Zodiac killer in the store. It passes by the door entrance.

It wasn't a movie, but on the History Chanel, Modern Marvels, "Cemeterys", the portion explaining headstones and how just about anything could be put on a stone. The narrator asks, "Care for a Datsun 280Z on your headstone?" Then the camera shows a 280Z carved in profile on the stone.
