240Z in movies

[koreavet]

What about that movie "One on One" with Robbie Benson. He gets a brand new 280Z, drives it to California, and lets it overheat. A scene shows steam pouring out of the engine compartment with the Robbie Benson character wondering what to do.

I wonder if the movie producers really drained some of the coolant, and forced the car to overheat? Probably warping the head.

My point exactly.....the ZX was a 300ZX in the "Ridgemont High" movie. Maroon color, I think. The scene is at night, but damn if it wasent sweet looking. Window vents and all.....

Well now, if you will remember, the Fast Times at Ridgemont High movie was released to Theaters in 1982 which means it was probably filmed in 1981 or very early 1982.

The last time I checked, the 300ZX didn't come out until 1984. I rest my case.

Ridgemont high:

It was a 280zx. and they were listening to led zepplin.

theres a 300zx blind date? with bruce willis.

Theres a 240/260/280z in inner space, when martin short is out the back of the, wherever, and is about to hop in the shelby mustang convertalble. you see one in the background around this scene.

and I swear they blew up a fairlady roadser in an episode of sliders.

Kind of off the subject, but Jones Soda Company bottle labels use customer pictures and they had a short run of a lemonade that had the rear pillar vent of a 72-73 240

In this movie John Candy's character wins a Ferrari in an auction, but it really a 240z ferrari GTO conversion! They even show it being driven! Anybody else remember that?

I stand corrected about the 300/280 mistake.

An easy error to make as it was't on the screen for very long, and as you stated it was a night scene.

Was just watching my Tivo'd '9 1/2 Weeks'. In the opening scene, a 280zx is seen driving behind Kim Basinger.

OK, not in a film as such but I did see some TV footage a few years back showing someone stealing a tank from the US army and driving it around squashing cars and things. There was a shot of a z (can't tell which) which had been squashed from front to rear. It looked about 2 feet high !!!!
