jgkurz Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/speed_racer/news/1726473/ The two cars that weren't in the list that should of been were the 55 Chev in Two Lane Blacktop and coincidentally the 55 Chev in American Graffiti... Two Lane Blacktop is a B movie but a great car flick none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 AGREED! Also, what about James Garner's mustang in Grand Prix? It wasn't used extensively or anything--I just like 'em! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six_Shooter Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I agree that list is terrible. Not just the order, which is bad, but the missing cars, like the cars from Death Race 2000 (only Frankenstien's car gets an honerable mention), other cars from Mad Max or the Road Warrior, like Humungous' Ford F-150, or the Bel-air looking car in Mad Max. The Firebird from Firebird 2015 A.D. I was expecting to see the Dayton from The Wraith on the list, but it only had an honerable mention. I think someone's idea of "most memorable" is quite skewed. I've seen most of the movies on that list and forgot about at least half of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eec564 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The Model T from The Absent Minded Professor? KITT? Would The Mystery Machine count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruez Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I think the Mad Max car, Christine and Bullit should have placed higher...IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 chitty chitty bang bang should have been in the top 10. I liked the first 3 but james bond definetly needed to be above speed racer. Interesting list though. Kind of fun to browse through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Was KITT there? and I missed seeing the A team van there too. Honorable mention would have suited the bus from Speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 These are movie cars only, not TV show cars, so no K.I.T.T. or A-Team van, Rockford Firebird, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Ok, we are all bummed that our favorites cars didn't make it higher on the list, so my complaint is the supercharged mad max car. That is the movie car I always think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 You are so right!!! ...what do you expect from a site called rotten tomatoes......Little Miss Sunshine VW bus!!! Oh well, they tried. Ok, we are all bummed that our favorites cars didn't make it higher on the list, so my complaint is the supercharged mad max car. That is the movie car I always think of.
