Turbo Meister Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 1981 Slasher Film, "Happy Birthday to Me", starring Melissa Sue Anderson and Glenn Ford contains two scenes with a nice silver 240 Z. At the 11 minute point, several college kids play 'chicken' with their cars by jumping an opening draw bridge. The Z peels out of a parking lot and is the first to make the jump. At 45 minutes, the driver gets back in the Z and drives out of another parking area. No need to watch the rest of the film unless you like "B" movies. The film is showing "On Demand" on Verizon's FEARnet channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) It wasn't really quite a B movie, more just a flop, but there was a movie I remember seeing in the early early 90s, so I would hazard it released 89-91. It was about a kid and his dad, who was a bank robber. they wound up running into his Mom, who he thought was dead, and who drove a Z (280 I think, but I was like 12 and only knew the difference if my dad told me.) The movie was pretty crappy, but one line in it stands out in my mind.. "We don't do concerts, we're bank robbers!!" I can't remember the names of any actors, or anything else they may have been in, either. I remember another scene where Dad explained to Junior that they should steal American cars for getaway vehicles to stimulate the economy; the owner, he postulates, will then go buy another American car. Stupid movie; in the end they all three move to Canada and keep robbing banks I think?? And..... JUST before finally posting this I dug it up. "Fast Getaway" is the title of the movie. The 75 280 is featured rather extensively as a getaway car. EDIT HOLY COW Cory Haim played the Kid!!! I've thought about posting a question up about this dumb movie forever, but the timing is just creepy. His character also manages to lose his V-card during the movie, so that is somewhat amusing.... Edit Mark Two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eV0eA6atXU&feature=related This is even better than I remembered!! There is an extensive chase scene with Aerial footage and everything.. Z-car plays the hero and knocks an old F-100 off a cliff.. Th3en starts up and you can hear the valves and injectors over the water pump fan and everything. It even has the same rims as my 75 280!! WATCH! I KNEW this was a gem waiting to be dug up... Someone download and re host these vids before the traffic gets them dropped!!

ModernS30 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 The 280z they crash is different. It has turbines, the first one has iron cross wheels. Unless she went to the shop real fast before crashing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue72 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 True Lies - 1994 As Ahnold and Tom Arnold are driving at night in their Jimmy (or surveilance van, I can't quite remember), there is a 280ZX in traffic with them. It's the scene where they're being tailed by some baddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Found a still with the 280ZX from True Lies. I also recently watched The Gumball Rally from 1976 and there were Datsuns all over in that one. The silver car parked on the street as the Camaro is passing it looked small enough and of the right shape to be an S30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The annoying kid gets kidnapped at one point which results in a car chase with three generations of Z cars visible in less than 1 minute of screen time.
