Title: Cougars on the big screen!
Post by: Carl on July 22, 2006, 01:06:01 AM
I was watching the trailer for an inconvenient truth. The movie about global warming and noticed two cougars! The first one you can clearly see. The other one is way in the back on the right hand side.

When it shows cars driving in the beginning of the trailer.

No big deal really, but I thought it was cool. hahaha

^^^ yeah
 
but to contribute, i rented Reservoir Dogs a couple weeks ago, and a few minutes in when the guys are walking away from the camera towards a road, there are cars going by and one of them is a silver 87/88 cougar. i thought it was so neat! :hick:
 
then i was watching The Dead Pool on amc or tnt a couple nights ago and i saw a black 86? cougar on a side street as hes running into a restaurant after a shoot-out breaks loose.

I dont think I could stomach that garbage with AL Gore long enough to see the cougars lol. My favorite is the Southpark episode making fun of Gore claiming there was the threat of the manbearpig, "Im totally serial you guys."

Alright, since people spotted Cougars in other movies.

Here is the challenge.

If you see a Cougar/TBird in a movie post it here.

I know of at least one episode of CSI: Vegas that has a T-bird in it.  I dont remember the name of the episode, but its the one where the rollercoaster car flys off the track and kills a couple kids.  The coaster slams right onto a Fox Bird in the parking lot.  I cried.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but was just watching "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" (Steve Martin, John Candy) and just about half-way through the movie, during a scene in an Airport Parking lot, you can see nearly a dozen various 80's T-birds and Cougars. Most I've even seen in a movie.

Now that you mention it, I was being a lazy bum the other night (nothing new) and caught a few minutes of Full House. The daughters were in some guy's 94-95 Mustang convertible driving around like crazy, and almost have a head-on collision with an 83-86 Cougar while going through a tunnel. I'm glad they missed, even though it would have made for some juicy, made-for-tv drama.

I think there have been several of these movie threads.

Here are my best choices:
1. '87 20th Anny car in "The Nutty Professor" (Eddie Murphy).
2. '83-'86 Turbo Coupe in "Moving" with Richard Pryor. Great movie.
3. Black '88 XR-7 in "Along Came Polly."
4. Black '88 XR-7 in "School of Rock."

There is a '94-ish Cougar in "Monster" with Charlize Theron. It's actually integral to the plot (about halfway through the movie...her character kills a dude and hauls him back to her house in his Cat). I think it had a half-landau top on it IIRC.

EDIT: Oh yeah...
They're not Foxes, but I think the top 2 Cougars in movies have to be
#2 - black primered '67 Cougar at the beginning of "From Dusk 'Til Dawn"
#1 - Red '69 Cougar from the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"

Now just imagine if cooch Galore was driving the Cougar...how fitting. :tg:

That Black '88 XR-7 shows up in a lot of New York filmed movies.
It appeared in the first Spiderman movie, was egged in Mr. Deeds and was in Raising Helen as well.(I have a screen shot of that one)
I think I spotted it in Spiderman 2 as well.

There was one movie when I was flipping channels, the character they were focusing on at the time pulled up to a gas station and filled up his black '87-88 LS. The car was on the big screen for nearly 3 solid minutes. Don't remember the name of the movie though.

I also remember an episode of CSI Miami( I think) where they mentioned the suspect escaped in a Mercury Cougar. During the re-enactment scene, I think for a split second I caught the rear window of the car.

Its not a cougar but I noticed a 4 eyed Tbird in the new movie Inception parked on the side eventually getting hit by the train driving down the middle of the street.

I was watching Black Sheep with Chris Farley (probably his worst movie, I don't recommend it)... Right in the opening, about the 3:15 mark, the bullhorn flies off the roof of his truck and breaks out the window of a fox bird.

EDIT: It also looks as if they used two different types of bullhorn in the close up and distant shot.

Found an 83 or an 84 Thunderbird in "Super Mario Bros." Yes, they made a movie of it in the 90's. No, it wasn't any good.
