The Distracting Background Cars in Media Thread

[Tunerguy21]

From the first Fast and the Furious

That white car in the background looks quite like a 2nd gen MX6 (probably not a V6, though). Never really noticed until watching it over with a friend who'd never seen it. And I think that would make it the only MX6 in the movie. Don't recall seeing any used as modifieds.

Comes the dank meme car, The XV20 Camry!

Gold BBS on an IROC-Z. Choice 👍

I hated those chrome trims fitted to European cars, back in the day.

Mission Impossible 4

During some scene in some automated car park in Vancou...I mean Mumbai, I spotted rather interesting and maybe some odd choices of cars.

CGI Nissan 350z

I had to rewatch that scene through youtube:
Nissan Figaro and S Cargo in "Mumbai"

At first I thought it was a Toyota MR2 but it turns out to be Toyota Sera.

Is that a Rolls Royce?

Any idea of that Blue car above Hendricks?

And Nissan Figaro once again

The blue one looks like mazda mx5

Nice job 👍. When I watched MI4 I'm mostly distracted by the featured car though, which is the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics (the i8 concept prototype) Can't take my eyes off from it :

Also, some cars you mentioned above as I know is not available or usually seen in country like India, especially those tiny JDM kei-cars. Idk why they put those car there, but for me it feels a bit jarring after knowing that from these screenshots.

That's why i always prefer people filming at actual locations rather than filming it at totally different location. I'm not talking about the Green/Blue Screen but outside filming locations. For example, as a person who went to Dubai in 2011 and live around the same area, the traffic cars during the chase scene in Dubai were surprisingly accurate. While there's the usual Exotics, there were also everyday Japanese and American cars too.

But yeah, i really got distracted by those JDM cars more than any other car in the movie.

I'm guessing that wasn't Parrish Smith's car which broke down on FDR Drive while en route to 1974 Broadway.

please listen to my demo

Alright, I also agree with that. I guess some of these Mumbai scenes were filmed in Japan instead of the actual country? That would make sense cause the automatic storage parking isn't available in India as far as I know.

Btw, I think you missed a bit some cars that wasn't mentioned there after I looked this particular image a bit closer :

I noticed the blue and white van is quite interesting, so I search for it and turns out it is another JDM cars, Suzuki Every Sambar :

Full image of the car :

And the white van behind S-Cargo is Subaru Sambar van :

Hong Kong, judging by the plate on the Rolls.

I started watching Lethal Weapon 2 and nearly spit out the drink I wasn't drinking, when I saw this in the opening scene. ...and then, the end of the scene ...

It crashed? Why??????

The car flips upside down into a building at the end of the car chase.

The yellow diamond road sign with a checkered pattern on the boarder is a rather Canadian-looking sign...

Example:

Wouldn't be the first time a film crew brought their own "regional" signage to mock up a location.

I absolutely love the '67 Impala Coupe - one of the best looking muscle cars IMO.

Image isn't showing up. If you're using IMCDB, they don't seem to allow people to share images from their site.

I forgot about the Lotus cars in the movie. Interesting find!

Joel from Vinesauce, the person who's responsible for all the internet memes we got over the years thanks to his live streams on Bootlegs, Windows destruction, game corruption, awful games and more.

Somehow he ended up in Fuji Speedway with a field of "GT/Forza player's wet dream" for a brief moment.

During the ending of GT Sport, an R34 Skyline or R35 GTR appears driving away on the highway at night somewhere in japan:

IIRC that's from the movie "Falling Down", not the movie you mentioned. Then again, this specific '67 Impala has been used in movies quite a lot it seems.

Noticed a couple things watching, The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down...er, I mean, Speed.

Datsun 280ZX

And this Pontiac Le Mans.

I have watched this movie several times yet for whatever reason, I want to watch it again.

Decided to watch Yeah Right! again, and I got to Rick McCrank's part, and there's this little gem hiding in the shot:

A nice, red SW20 MR2.
