Tarantino's script for TRUE ROMANCE...

CLARENCE

You know, most movies that win a lot of Oscars, I can't stand. "Sophie's Choice", "Ordinary People", "Kramer vs. Kramer", "Gandhi". All that stuffis safe, geriatric, coffee-table dog sh*t.

LEE

I hear you talkin' Clarence. We park our cars in the same garage.

CLARENCE

Like that Merchant-Ivory clap-trap. All those assholes make are unwatchable movies from unreadable books.

LEE

Clarence, there might be somebody somewhere that agrees with you more than I do, but I wouldn't count on it.

Clarence is on a roll and he knows it.

CLARENCE

They ain't plays, they ain't books, they certainly ain't movies, they're films. And do you know what films are? They're for people who don't like movies. "Mad Max", that's a movie. "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", that's a movie. "Rio Bravo", that's a movie. "Rumble Fish", that's a f**kin' movie. And, "Coming Home in a Body Bag", that's a movie. It was the first movie with balls to win a lot of Oscars since the "The Deer Hunter".

I saw the last 20 min or so of a movie that took place in the CA desert mountain area(think Duel). There was this black coupe trying to wreck a short bus driven by some woman.

PS I just saw(for the 2nd time) an ad for the Happy Feet movie. It looks like it's about a bunch of tapdancing penguins.

Yeah that was some crappy knock off movie in the style of Duel. Guy was in a MOPAR of some sort can't remember at this point and was apparently a child molester.

As For the Knight Rider 2000 car, Pontiac got all pissy and they ended up using another car for the base chassis. Whatever it was(I want to say a Ford Probe, but at the time Dodge had their hands in EVERYTHING so I actually believe it was a Dodge Stealth) was FWD.

Also Foxtrot, its Knight Rider 2010, I liked it, wasn't great. They had that "68" Mustang that they tossed some "race engine" out of some famous racer's car, which was like a 429 or 460 and the guy that sold him the car said "it wouldn't fit you gotta cut the front end"...which wasn't entirely true since Ford fit 429s in the cars from the factory.

I also liked the Stealth Fighter jet car the villian had.

Your thinking of the 1977 film The Car with James Brolin.

Cause there is The Car(big ole mean looking Sedan posseded by some demonic power).

There is crazed Semi truck driver chasing down a motorist.

Then there is crazed Child molester in a black MOPAR chasing school bus driver.

1977 The Car

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075809/

If I remember right it started life as a 71' Lincoln, George Barris design. To make the sound of the car they used 3 recordings similtaneously- idle, high reving, and actual RPMs- to give it an evil/mean sound.

Knight Rider 2000 was a mid-90's GM Saturn SC-1 coupe. you can tell buy the greenhouse shape, the overlapping of the rear sail panel glass to the backlight glass, narrow pillars, the door openings (slanted upper window surround) and the interior, which they didn't change much at all, just like the original T/A KITT. I have heard that they wanted to use the Pontiac Banshee showcar, but like the Ford Futura Batmobile being the only one, and the fact that it cost GM over a million dollars to build, they used the Saturn Body in White and made a glass body for it, close to the Banshee because of the styling direction of the day. GM had a sponsorship role in the first Knight Rider series, just like Chrysler Corp had in Dukes, so who's to say they didn't "reprise the role" again?

Typo?

Actually, I've just got a crappy memory for Numbers.

Like I said, It did have some fun bits in it.. But for me, these were outweighed by the Not-so-fun.

And Yeah, I remember them having to cut the Mustang.

I wish car movies were written by Car Guys!

My biggest annoyance with it was when the Mustang turned into an GM F-Body.

Most likely a Firebird.

Didn't care much for the Stealth Car, myself.

GM did not want any part with the K2K TV movie.
