Ernie, have to agree with you on Miami Vice. That was of course top notch, in many ways, more than 'just' the cars. The Lambo chase wasn't my favourite (nor is the Goldeneye one), I always think there is at least one idiot driver cause otherwise one of these cars would eat the other alive for the mismatch (I can't see how a 355 wouldn't eat up an Aston Martin for breakfast and a Lambo would be long gone before a Daytona even shifts into 2nd). That's why I loved the chase in 'The Rock'. Yes, the 355 would have gotten the Humvee a lot earlier, but they do a lot of 'terrain' driving where the Hummer is more suited for. Anyway, my fav scene was the night time shot with the camera mounted on the outside of the Daytona, showing the front wheel eating up the tarmac and Collins playing the soundtrack (In the air tonight). Just for the record, the Daytona wasn't real and also the Testa had its fair share of gizmos: http://www.ferrariclub.com/faq/miamivice.html | ||

Dan and Ryan, the "California Spyder" in FBDO is actually a "Modena" built by Precision Design & Engineering, Inc in the 80's that loosely RESEMBLED the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder (Ford 289 CID powerplant). The actual show car is said to have been destroyed (while filming the garage scene, perhaps?) and the car that was making some show rounds and that I've personally seen at several auctions is actually another Modena that has been billed as the "sister car" to the FBDO car. Precision Design still makes a version of the car that can be ordered as a kit or turnkey but now markets the car as the "CalSpyder" for obvious reasons. I don't know if Ferrari had to pay THEM for the "Modena" name or not, but that would be funny if they did. Here is a link to Precision Design's website: http://www.calspyder.com/ (Notice how the "F" word isn't mentioned anywhere in their description of the car.) | ||

Ok I'm gonna have to represent for the 80's kids. Cummon guys one of the greatest Ferrari shows of all times MIAMI VICE! My favorite scene was when Crocket and Tubbs were cashing a white Lambo in the Datona. That and any time Crocket had to be some place fast. Just love to see the Ferrari eating up the road and then blowing by. Also the Testarossa halling ass through all the stop lights in the middle of the night. The funny scene that I remember was when Crocket got the Dayton taken away, and the suprize was he got the Testarossa as it's replacement. Shame on you guys for not mentioning the show sooner. | ||

Kevin, those are actually scale replicas of several exotic cars in O-11. There was a Murc and several others I couldn't identify, at what looked like 1/4 scale. Not sure their purpose--they were perhaps used in deleted scenes???  | ||

The dealer from "Scent of a Woman" called himself Freddie Bisco. I wonder if he was a real dealer. I've owned the movie since it came out. Probably my all-time favorite. DISCLAIMER: NON-FERRARI Here's one for all you triva buffs. In "Ocean's Eleven" they build a scale model of the vault of the Bellagio casino. They build this replica inside a huge warehouse and if you look closley there is a yellow Lambo Murci parked in the background inside the warehouse. | ||

Yup. Charlie goes: So I guess you love women? Pacino replies: Above all things. A very, very distant second... is a Ferrari. Great movie. The tango scene is awesome too. I love the tango. Another great scene in that movie is right before they test drive the Mondial, when he's talking to the salesman. I've always wondered: what dealership was that filmed in??? | ||

Mike; I agree with you 100%!! Al Pacino was great! Driving the Mondial through New York was a fantastic scene. Another great scene was when he was asked what in his life did he enjoy most. The second half of the answer was...."and a very distant second is a Ferrari." Do you remember what was "first"? | ||

I'd have to agree with an earlier post and say Al Pacino driving the Mondial in "Scent of a Woman" is my favorite Ferrari scene. Scent of a Woman is one of my all-time favorite movies, though. My least favorite Ferrari scene is in that god-awful movie "the Fast and the Furious" when the Ferrari loses in a race. | ||

Love that kid in his kit car, reminded me of my own youth in a soap box, that just looked like a Ferrari from the fifties (well, at least to me anyway).

Evan, I believe he sold that car through Ferrari of Scottsdale. I saw one there that was identical a year or a year and a half ago. The manager claimed it was the car from the movie, and it was for sale. Not sure if that claim was correct, but I have no reaso to doubt it. They were NOT asking a premium for the car over current market prices. I think it was a 1998 model, and had about 13,xxx miles. | ||

Let's go WAAAAAAAY back. Sophia Loren - I think the movie was "Boy on a Dolphin". She's in a coupe, possibly a 340 or 375 America. How about "Goodbye Charlie"? Pat Boone in a 250 GT Cabriolet. He mentioned 12 cylinders, 6 carburators and fuel injection! Really knew his cars! A real rush of a cruise scene - I don't remember the movie title but one of the actors was David Jansen (from the "Fugitive"). He and a beautiful lady were chasing each other through a section of the Swiss Alps, one driving a Daytona Spyder, the other a coupe! They would pop up the headlights when going through tunnels. The sound was there too. Fantastic! Bob Zambelli | ||

My favorite scene is on my 355 Challenge game. If you set the track records on all 10 tracks there is a movie given to you in the gallery. It shows what looks like a 348 with all of the black stuff on prototype cars. Later it tells you it is a 355 prototype at it's earliest stages. Then it shows you a beautiful red 355 diving through the mountains in Italy. There are little clips here and there showing the inside of the car and 5 vales in the clyinders. Just a really cool little 10 minute movie about the beginning of the F355. | ||

I agree with William & William, Gumball Rally has the best sound track. In addition to the begining set in NYC, the scene were the Daytona & Cobra enter and leave the gas station together sends shivers up my spine. Two of the best sounding engines ever made IMHO, the Ferrari V12 and the Ford FE, so different yet each the best in it's catagory. I have just about worn my video copy out. My lifelong friend and I would tell our wives (or ex-wives as the case may be) that we were going to be like the two old gentlemen (we are getting close) in the MB 300SL, their wives were gone but the car remains!

WHy has no one mentioned 'La Passione' which has Ferraris in every scene? Chris Rea had a sharknose Ferrari replica built for the film and there are also shots of a black 355 being driven round Monza. The film is about a young lads obsession with Wolfgang Von Tripps. There is also the brilliant song in the film 'Shirley, do you own a Ferrari?' which is performed by Chris Rea and Shirley Bassey. I have the film on video tape. It's a bit mad and very wierd but it is about Ferrari's so that's OK! Here is a link to Amazon where you can buy it http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004CUUC/qid%3D1039161857/202-0896118-9252632  | ||

Danny and Rob, you're both right: First he drives it through a window and eventually it gets crushed by the San Fran trolley. Up to that point it looked really convincing, but once you see the plastic/fiber glass body not buckle, but just crack, you realize they just killed another Fiero. I always loved the dude's line on the motor cycle: "Man, you just f$$$ed up your Ferrari." And Cage dry as they come: "It's not mine." | ||

The 355 in the rock went through a glass window, nailed about 6 parking meeters, slalomed through 5 gallon water jugs, and finally got crushed by the trolley. You can tell that the 355 is a kit car if you look closely when the trolley nails it. And the dead give away with the car in Ferris Bueller's Day Off is that Ferris, Cameron, and Samone could all EASILY fit in the the 250 SWB California. Too bad the new Bond movies can't throw an F50 or Enzo into some of the scenes. | ||

Danny, you could join the Ferrari Club of America (FCA), they don't require ownership. I did that years before I got my F car. BTW: I'm still working on this movie list myself. Some of them are close to impossible to find. I'm trying to collect them all, but I guess in some cases that means waiting for them to show up on TV :-( | ||

Oh, the 355 in "The Rock", oh wait, they crash it through a window. Ok, the 308 in "One Crazy Summer", oh wait, they chop it up to become a sail boat engine. Then the California Spyder in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", shoot, they reverse it off an elevated garage into the trees. Oh I've got it now, the 355 in "Fast and Furious", heck to it, they let a rice burner blow it away and make the owner look like a jerk. Heck with all the movies, we get no respect! | ||

The Gumball Rally with the Daytona spyder hands down. Best scene at the start of the race in New York. Daytona passes a cop in times sqaure. Cops says "It's going to be a nice day."  | ||

Christy in Vacation use to be the Gold standard...but I now have to agree that GoldenEye is better. Sexy, Sadistic, ex-Russian fighter pilot, with a sweet smile and a reckless attitude, racing through the cliffs of Monte Carlo. How can you beat that? | ||

Tom - You're right! Christy Brinkley in a red 308 GTSi (National Lampoon's Vacation) is an all time classic. But Christy does look just as good in a Mondial (Vegas Vacation). I'm just more partial to the 308. | ||

Grand Prix. The only movie that a part of which was actually filmed inside the Ferrari factory. Seeing it in wide screen Cinemarama is something I'll never forget. | ||

Glad you mentioned "The Hidden." Love mid-budget quirky movies. Also on that list, not necessarily F-car related, though, are : Repo Man, From Dusk until Dawn (alright, big budget, but when it goes from crime-noir to nouvelle vampire, i gotta laff); Killing Zoe (good, nonferrari driving sequence). Oh yea, and in the previews before the latest J Bond movie (the car chase sequences in the movie sucked in my estimation, too many special effects, not enough real driving), there was a "commercial" for the Z car, involving a high speed drive thru Prague. It was far more compelling than any of the car stuff in the movie, IMHO. | ||

All good ones. Interesting similarity between 'The Hidden' and 'Rendez-vous', especially around those poor Parisian garbage handlers... ;-) | ||

I think most 308 guys have to think of Christy in Vacation - good action shots | ||

Definately "Ferris Bueler's Day Off" Although its not a real California Spyder, it looks great - and great music, too. Second favorite is "Rain Man" with Tom Cruise driving a 412. | ||

Many movies have been made starring F cars and often people mention Magnum PI, but when I'm driving my 308 hard, I never think of Selleck. The favourite scene that comes to my mind are the opening 3 minutes of 'The Hidden'. And it has the music to top it off. So, what's your fav F car scene on the big and small screen? |
