Cougars on the big screen!

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

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 honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

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.
