Guest RCNSC Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Ok, this thread is all about Z car movie sightings. Not ZX, or 350Z. S30 1969-1978 Z cars. "Bruce almighty" there is a 280ZX 2+2 - Lots of scenes, even wrecks it. "You got served" - old school 240Z (I was flippin out when I kept seeing it), lots of cameos.

akeizm Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Its not a ZX. There is a rusted pos in "Friday After Next" its either a 260z or 280z cause it has those big arsed bumpers on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Top Gun. When Cruze is driving his bike through the lights, and the chick (name?) follows and almost wrecks her Porsche. Tom stops his bike, she pulls up behind, and when the camera changes to a close up of them talking, you can see a 240 roll up to the intersection behind them. Also; the movie 21 grams. Benicio Deltoro (sp?) is freakin out at a kid, showing him his truck (thats plastered in Jesus stickers) and there's a flat black Z parked in front and to the left of the truck... not sure if it's an s30 though...

icesky Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Not really a sighting but a awesome movie 2-4 years old "Wangan Midnight" I think. Here is a more detailed link url=http://www.v8zcar.com/s30z/wangan.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia Flash Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Nothing wrong with the ZX, heck my next project will be a V-8 powered ZX, that is if I ever get this one done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I dont remember the name of the movie nor its actors accept OJ Simpson's name. OJ and two other actors of that time were Astronauts about to be launched to the Moon. Just prior to the launch their supervisor wisks them off the rocket ship under the guise that the rocket ship was built to less than standard tolerances, and if they stayed on the ship they would die prior to reaching the moon. These three almost astronauts were taken to a ghost town where they were told to remain. NASA had build an entire Studio in this ghost town so that the three anstronauts could stage the moon landing. The three would be astronauts attempt to escape. The ship was launched without its astronauts. Anyway: OJ and one other astronaut get caught while the third one, with the help of a reporter break the story to the public. This reporter uses his girlfriends car....A Brand New 280Z (the movie was late 70's circa). The Z doesnt come into the picture until the last 30-45 minutes of the movie and is shown about a half dozen times. It appeared to me the movie's angle of approach was founded in the conspiratorialist's idea that NASA never went to the moon. It was an interesting movie - typical late 70's B-movie. It had Hollywood's full backing and I dont believe it was suppost to be a B-movie: but that is what it looked like to me.

zeeboost Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Commando starring Ahnuld has a lot of Z's There's also a zx (I think) on Speed, but it takes a turn for the worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 If Z based Ferrari 250 GTO kit cars count, I'll add Tom Cruise driving a black one in the beginning of Vanilla Sky and of course John Candy drives a red one a bunch in the movie Delirious.

zguy95135 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 in the Back to the Future, the one where he goes to the 50's, in the beginning there's a red or orange 240Z driving around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akeizm Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I wonder if the directors actually chose those Z's to be there or were they a random selection or just there for the hell of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strotter Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 How about "Boogie Nights"? The character trying to emulate Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) buys a 280 (?) the same color as Dirk's Corvette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Flash Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I love Boogie Nights and that is a red ZX that Scotty buys to impress Dirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drftn280zxt Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 In SPEED there are lik four Z's. Couple of S30's a 280Z's and 280ZX's most of them were hetting towed I think. There was a brown 240Z on the highway whn the bus was on the highway I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy95135 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I dont know if this counts but in a tv show called Maximum Exposure (its like real tv), theres a 240Z with a Monte Carlo rally paint scheme spinning and crashing into a wall in the show's intro sad...
