Top Gun - 356 - Kelly - Tom's girl
Cars - 997 - Sally Carrera
LeMans - 917K- Steve Mcqueen

My favorite is the 928 from Scarface

[GM2006]

Flash Dance is one movie that comes to mind - because of Jennifer Beal more than the 911 her boss drove.

[Jazzbass]

Spy game - 911 longhood - Robert Redford's car
Uh oh... someone diss'ed the 912! And a Dorki's 912 at that! :lol:

[Dr K]

My favorite is the 928 from Scarface
Mine is the spyder (or is it a 356) in 48 Hours, esp. because Nick Nolte drives a pink Cadillac, and when Nolte sees Eddie Murphy's Porsche, Murphy says "some honkie got the last pink Cadillac."

[michael lang]

Those are all excellent, my favorite is "No Man's Land" from the 80's with Charlie Sheen. Outstanding driving scenes with lots of P-car showings.

[John]

These aren't movies, but they're worth mentioning:

Dr. Cox's 911 from Scrubs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBIK8rMJZqg

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's (Will Smith) 911 Cab from the video for Parents Just Don't Understand with the classic line, "Would a lunatic drive a Porsche like this?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI0dCVwdedE

[Porsche_Driving_Club]

The movie "Against All Odds" with Jeff Bridges & James Woods had a P-car in it. Jeff Bridge's character drove a red 911 SC Cab.

[Redroc]

"Patriot Games" was on last night. Jack Ryan's wife had a 911. Unfortunately I turned it on right before she drove into a ramp divider wall. :cry:

At least they didn't waste a 944 to make the movie!!! :twisted:

[kimlangley7]

A recent episode of Grays Anatomy has the Female OBGYN driving a Speedster... me thinks >> way too not-real >> as a real Speedster would have to be driven by a true car-person... cause if you don't know the vehicle > you are in for multiple stranded experiences..

[brianr]

Office Space
Bill Lumbergh's 911

This is like IMDB but for cars: http://www.imcdb.org/

[Elfer]

Sweet 930 turbo in Midsomer Murders: The Killings at Badgers Drift. Undertaker with license plate 'RIP 1'

[Porsche_Driving_Club]

Magnum PI's lady lawyer freind had a black 924S

[DDD]

Magnum PI's lady lawyer freind had a black 924S

In season two, Magnum gets chased by a 928. I am trying to remember, was it Higgins in the car with him? The guy in the 928 was shooting at them.

If you want insanely obscure references, there is an episode of Rumpole of the Bailey where a guy drives a blue 930 away from the scene of a brutal murder of a promising young lady........yeah, too obscure, I know.

[DDD]

I forgot, on the magnum season one bonus disc is a show that includes a very young Sharon Stone (swwinnggg batter!) and her crazy twin sister, also played by Sharon. The show starts with a flashback of the twins racing along the California coastline in a white 930. They have a cat fight and end up crashing the car over the cliff.

Awesome! Did I mention a young Sharon Stone? :twisted:

[racer]

Black 930 in the opening song/credits of TV's Lee Majors - "The Fall Guy".. That's kinda obscure ;)

(The 930 makes a huge fishtail slide -right hand corner, slides out to the left, as Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) jumps over it with his custom Chebby Pick em up)

[Trak Ratt]

Bullet - sweeeet nearly new 356 cab

[Tyler Durden]

American gigolo 70s 911

[Trak Ratt]

American gigolo 70s 911
Spy Game 912Are you sure :? thought that was a rebadged 911 ;)

[twills]

because of my loyalty to the story and the music, I must offer the following correction:

The Big Chill's character with the Pcar was Nick (William Hurt) not Tom B...tho Tom's character, Sam Weber/JT Lancer, did try to launch himself into the driver's seat thru the open Targa roof.

here's a 30 second encapsulation of the film:
http://www.angryalien.com/0905/bigchillbuns.asp

Have you seen the Porsche that briefly appears in traffic during the car chase scene thru the streets of Zurich in Bourne Identity?

[aubreym]

The 912 in "Spy Game" driven by Robert Redford belongs to Kurt Mickelwait.

[kimlangley7]

Cannonball Rally > had the Mother/daughter hot chicks in a Turbo

[Porsche_Driving_Club]

My uncle was head of Public Relations for the Magnum PI show (& Hawaii 5-O as well). Stan, his name, told me that Porsche was originally offered the Magnum car role in a 930 Turbo, but Porsche decided against it. After the success of the show and the attension the "Ferrari" was getting Porsche offered the show 2 million dollars a year for them to use a Porsche 928, but the show declined saying that the "Ferrari" was a character in the show & could not be replaced. The show later took Porsche money by featuring the 924S in the script.

Ferrari really took the Magnum Show quite serious. Mr. Ferrari's public image was that he did not leave the Ferrari factory for anyone or anything. That everyone must work around him & his car.

Stan said that this was not a truth. Everytime a new shipment of Ferrraris was delivered to the show they were accompanied by Mr. Ferrari himself. Stan met with him during each of these occasions.

[986SChris]

it was sky blue not pink. eastwood was in "pink cadillac."

[berettafan]

i THINK Pelican Brief featured a 911 getting blown up.

[Dr K]

So, let me get this straight. My favorite car company as a child was handed the chance to provide the lead 'car' on my favorite show as a child, but instead blew it off.

What will Porsche do next, build hybrid electric volkswagen minivans and let their sports cars get obese? :?

personally i feel much better NOT ever seeing a guy in denim shorts and hawaiian shirt, hairy chested, gold chain'd, and mustachioed being associated w/ a guard's red targa. it works quite well w/ that 'eye-talian trash' machinery :D

[Trak Ratt]

Correct.Then I think you and frogger will need a new home. A stunt man was the drover :bang:

[dholling13]

The Bad Boys 964 turbo gets used like it should followed by the 996 that was literally driven like it was stolen in Gone in 60. But the shark in Scarface was definitely nice :).

The Spy Game Car is in a different category all together.

[pookie]

Sin City has a 550 Spyder. Bad movie though.

[slbates]

1980 TV movie -Top Of The Hill, starring Wayne Rogers. Very nice Porsche driving at high speed in a winter scene.

[dholling13]

I just remembered, a lot of Bond movies had Porsche's with cameo appearences. ie: A View to Kill - Gold 928 next to the Rolls and Die another day, the white 993 that was blown up :(.

[aubreym]

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando 1985. There was a punk drove a yellow long hood targa. The car was smashed up pretty good along the driver's side after a car chase that ended with the Porsche on its side. Arnold dragged the guy from the car, dangled him by the leg over the edge of a cliff for some interrogation, then dropped him off the cliff after some suitable corny comment.

Not sure if this was mentioned, but there was a late '60s early '70s 911S in the first matrix (I think it was the first one). The scene was in a parking garage, right before they went into a club. It was black I think, and nice.

Word on the street is that Keanu Reeves has a '95 993. Which doesn't help the value of my car. :|

Also, best 911 scene on TV, was the "World's Scariest Police Chases" when a guy stole his boss's mid-year '70s 911, and went on a crazy chase. The idiot narrating the show kept saying "its turbo charged engine is really giving the police a tough time".

[cmartin]

Watched Spy Game again tonight. Great flick.

Check out Harper. Paul Newman drives a clapped out Speedster. The move is from the sixties or early seventies so car was surely original.

Hasn't been mentioned, but an episode from Quincy had a 924 in it, and an episode of Rockford Files featured a black 930 as a villain/car of interest. I have no idea of the dates, but the names of the shows should prove that they're old.
