I was pleasantly surprised to see the blue Mk2 Supra in The Butterfly Effect.... although it somewhat confused the folk I was with when I got all enthused over the car :lol:

lol ya its a third gen celica actually :wink:

Just a different motor and fenders. All my friends thought it was a pretty big deal, but they are all freaks like me... except maybe not quite as bad... lol

Yeah its a Celica, not the Supra variety.

There is a Mk2 Celica Supra in The Firm.

Theres a Nissan Silvia (CSP311) and a Toyota S600 or 800 in the Karate Kid 2. and various other Datsuns in the Karate Kid 1 and 3, including a B210, and a 510 wagon.

In "When Harry Met Sally", Meg Ryan drives 76-78 Corona RT119 wagon in a few scenes.

I watched Zodiac recently, being set in the 70's and 80's I was keeping an eye out for any Z's in it. Thought I was not going to see any until right near the end of the movie when the cartoonist is going into the hardware shop, I spotted a silver S30 parked up the road. Its out of focus, but those sugar scoop headlights are unmistakable.

Not quite as old school as the rest but of personal interest to me, in quite a few of the outdoor sequnces in Seinfeld, there is a Palarmo Grey '88 Starion. Its always parked in front of Jerrys apt.

On topic: The Incredibles animated film has a lot of older imports, including Datsun Roadsters

The new Alvin and Chipmunks movie has a Datsun roadster the main character uses to drive around in.

Wow, you're the first person I know who's actually seen that movie, lol. That's cool though! Datsuns represent!

Cannonball Run was mentioned, the sequel had an '83 Starion.

I bet the Godzilla movies would be another great source for various cars as well.

There's a lot of bad-ass older cars in there. Disco Novas, I spotted an early '70s Dart Swinger, '60 Chevy wagon, late '60s GMC wagon, looked like a '54 Ford 2-door at one point, whole bunches of nice cars.

In the heinously pointless movie "Collier & Co.", which was a direct to video release from one of the original Dukes Of Hazzard actors, the bad guys chase his '69 Charger through an orange grove in a yellow Plymouth Arrow, which gets rolled over pointlessly.

Theres a Korean/Japanese movie set in the 70's i believe, about Japanese and Korean spies. Its called KT, which i think means Kill Target. Anyway the main characters get around in a 2 door C10 skyline, and the bad guys get around in a 4 door C110 skyline.

I've only seen the end of the movie on TV, and have never managed to find it anywhere to watch the rest of it.

It's a Triumph, not a Datsun

In Commando the Arnie film, the bit when Matrix kind of abducts the girl and her car at the airport parking building, there is a 240z, 280z and a couple of Rx7 FB's parked up.
And during the chase scene they almost ram a RA28 off the road, and theres a few others in there also.

Saw a guy once with a Datsun Roadster and his personalized plate said "NOT A MG".

The Honda N600 was in a few American movies, but I stumbled upon this just now. Lots of French film appearances.

There's a Datsun 510 seen briefly in a scene from "King of the Mountain", an early '80s flick about racing on Mulholland Drive:

There's also a 280ZX in another scene:

Warren Oates and his green 4Door Datsun 510 get massively ventilated by bullets in the finale of "Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia":
