I just found this interesting article about the TR(s) used in Miami Vice and thought I'd share it: The Testarossa debuted in the 1986 fall season opener as a black version driven by IRA gunrunner Sean Carroon.[9] The exoticar was a fitting image for high rolling terrorists dealing in hand held Stinger missiles. Although the episode credits read "Crockett's Car Furnished by Ferrari North America", Sonny was yet to drive his new car. Michael Mann needed a plot device to introduce the Testarossa, so he had the gunrunners launch a Stinger missile at Crockett's prized Daytona and blew it up before his very eyes.[10] A month later (the next episode), Lt. Castillo told a still-grieving Crockett to check out back for his new car. Sonny was greeted by a white Testarossa,[11] Florida license plate ATF00M. He proudly recited the specs of his new toy to Rico, "345 hp and 180 mph!" Much like his treatment of women, Sonny soon forgot about his past relationship and eagerly moved on to the new. Two show cars were provided by Ferrari North America and were originally delivered black, but were later repainted white for better contrast at night. In addition, a stunt car was created by the Roberts Motor Co. by beefing up a 1972 DeTomaso Pantera chassis with salvaged Testarossa body parts.[12] The mid-engined Pantera replicated the Ferrari much closer than the Corvettes which were used to create the Daytona look-alikes.   | ||

I just saw a movie "Exposure" with Ron Silver plays a photographer for "men's" magazines and the owner or publisher is a little sleazy guy and drives a Testarossa. I don't think it is a real one because it has an early Testarossa grill and two intakes on the front spoiler like the 512TR. Besides the sound is just not right. | ||

I just saw the movie "The Rookie" with Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen. At the beginning of the movie the car thieves steal (probably a replica) a red Daytona Spyder and they drive it onto an auto carrier. The car gets trashed when the thieves unload all the stolen cars while careening down the interstate! | ||

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but.... was fast-forwarding to the next recorded episode of Magnum P.I. last night and caught the intro to an episode of Murder She Wrote. The name of the episode was "Ship of Thieves", and it featured a very nice sounding yellow 348 Spider at the opening of the show. Now, what to do with all these Magnum P.I. tapes -- I'm running out of storage space in my home office! | ||

Also im not sure if anyone mentioned the movie Army of one. There was a really long chase with an F40 and a Countach as well as an F40 burnout. It was a bad chase scene because the Countach kept up but the F40 the whole way. The F40 was also chased by state troopers and that was fun to watch. You know they couldnt keep up | ||

I most correct my previous post. I made mention that I saw actress Ali McGraw on a talk show years ago indicating that she had owned a California Spyder years earlier. I did some digging on the history of various Ferraris on www.barchetta.cc . After digging through the data, I believe that I have my actresses mixed up. I always did get Ali McGraw and Barbara Hershey confused because they were both in alot of older movies and both had long brown hair. Well anyway, under the SWB California Spyder history file, it seems that serial number 2903GT was owned by Barbara Hershey. I will assume that this is the actress of the same name. So please pardon my previous blunder. Of course in the real world sense, I am no closer to either a Ferrari California Spyder, or a beautiful Hollywood actress. | ||

OK, now my 2 cents worth. They're not Ferrari movie sightings but obscure Corvette sightings. 1. Diamonds are Forever (I think that's the one). James Bond, 1970. Jill St. John is stalling the bad guys at a gas station while Bond hops in the back of their van. As she walks across the gas station lot, a blue 1958(?) Corvette is parked in the background. 2. The Graduate. 1968. Near the end of the movie, Dustin Hoffman runs out of gas in his Alfa Romeo spyder while chasing Ali McGraw and runs into the nearest gas station. If you look closely, there is a red 1961/2 Corvette parked in the gas station lot. Interesting bit of trivia: I saw Ali McGraw on a talk show one time where she mentioned that she had bought a Ferrari Spyder back in the sixties but had later sold it. She made some mention of it later being sold to Japan for an incredible amount of money. Any info on her car? 3. Kid Galahad. (late 50s) Elvis Presley. Elvis plays a boxer having a match at some upstate New York camp. There are a few shots of a '55 Corvette driving around. 4. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World. 1963. While Spenser Tracy is running from the crazy mob with the satchel of cash, there are numerous shots of a '55 Corvette driving back and forth. It must have been one of several background cars specifically used for the production, because you can see it several times in several scenes. 4. Redline 7000. 1966. UNKNOWN car, possibly a Ford Daytona Coupe or a Ferrari? The head honcho driver runs off into a ditch and hitches a ride with a bimbo babe. I haven't seen this movie in a long time. What kind of car was he driving? Was it a Ferrari? | ||

Does anyone remember the Goodyear tire comercial back in the 80's? It has a few Ferraris driving on a twisty road. The narrator says, "Why does every new Ferrari shipped to the U.S. come exclusively on goodyear Eagle tires?" Then the cars stop, and Enzo gets out of one and the narrator says, "Because Mr. Ferrari wants it that way." I have been trying to find it on the web, but I haven't had any luck. | ||

Not that it matters, but the incorrectly dated inspection sticker was on the Mustang, not the fakey-do Ferrari and it wasn't put there on purpose. In fact, in the director's commentary on the DVD, Cameron Crowe says he didn't know about it until later when someone pointed it out as a reason why they thought the entire film was a dream from beginning to end. He says he didn't intend it to be interpreted that way but is glad to see that there have been such diverse interpretations. I was hoping there would be some commentary on the fake F-car, but no such luck. | ||

Okay, got bored and did some searching on the Vanilla Sky fake ferrari. It was a fake and the explanation is that basically the whole movie is a dream and it is laden with references to dreams and reality. Even the inspection sticker on the car expires 2-30-01 which is a fake date. So the ferrari is fake to subliminally support the movie. Call me Magnum P.I.....wait he drove a ferrari too...was it real....wait I'm thinking of the fake Daytona in Miami Vice | ||

Hi guys and gals, I was thinking last night of what Ferraris are seen in movies and commercials and came up with a small list which I know is totally incomplete: 1. The Hidden - great cult movie with a chase seen right at the start with a black 308 which is later trashed and shot at. A red mondial is in it also. 2. Ghost - A parked red TR where patrick Swayze comments on it. 3. Magnum PI and Miami Vice 4. I remember a Pirelli commercial where Enzo himself jumps out of a 308 or 328 and the commentator says all Ferraris come with Pirellis because Mr. Ferrari wants it that way! 5. A ladies perfume commercial? where a guy drives a black 512 boxer in the pouring rain? 6. A Chrysler commercial where a black TR is racing a minivan on a wet oval track and then slides into the grass. I can't think of any more. Anyone remember these and more? |
