Ferrari in the movies : worth see

I actually have that on an old Beta tape

 

The Ferris Buhler car is a replica with a 289 Ford motor in it, the sound was dubbed in. This car was for sale about two years ago for around $35,000.

 

Nobody EVER mentions that fabulous arthouse flick, "Freddy Got Fingered" with Tom Green. Michael Anthony Hall drives a 355 Spyder. Poor Tom ALWAYS gets dissed.

 

That car is now owned by FChat member DrStranglove...

I don't think it's real.

However saying that, it's one of the best replicas I've ever seen.

Looks like a Favre recreation it's so spot on.

they filmed the rasta shootout scene in front of my office building for a week... There was actually 3 identical 550s and one 575 ..

 

Sheesh, I didn't know we had two threads going about movies. This one had at least four movies mentioned I never knew had Ferraris in them. Great!

 

I remember an opening scene were a yellow Pantera was driving on the highway, a few seconds shot, had nothing to do with the story though. There were more often nice cars in there like the Jag E-type and of course Columbos' own Peugeot 403 convertible. Columbo always saying it was a rare classic car, I say the same these days about my Alfasud, it is in similar shape as the Columbo 403...

 

It was a 1989 Mondial T Cabriolet. Great scene.

 

Certainly was and if you like Mondials "Only you" is great too. Aerial shot of the car winding along the Capri coast line. Gorgeous!

 

the 2 daytona car chase in the Swiss Conspiracy was AWSOME!!!!!

 

Ahem - Gone in 60 seconds? they go into the warhouse and steal like five or six Ferrari's. Man that is one sweet ass warehouse

 

Also James Bond 007 - Goldeneye. James Bond chasing the lady down the hills, then she spins out and all that.

 

I'm thumbing through the channels last night and, surprise, nothing was on until I saw the American Movie Classics (AMC). "The Racers" with Kirk Douglas had just started. Filmed in 1955, it was a fun look into the Mille Miglia and a driver's (Douglas) rise to GP racing. Worth every 112 minutes.

In "A french rendez-vous" it was a Ferrari 275 GTB2. The driver could have been the well known french collector Albert Prost (nothing to do with Alain Prost) and not C. Lelouch. The secret has been kept for years and Claude Lelouch is still claiming he was the driver but I really doubt so. I've read lots of BS on this movie like it was a Mercedes or so on...
French director Elie Chouraqui was also involved in the movie at one point.
The film has been taken with a gyroscopic film camera (it was in 1976). The sound has been taken apart and added later in post-prod. The sound is horrible though...

If my informations are good, Mr Prost died in 2002 in the crash of his own Caudron Simoun, the very last airplane of this kind (2002/09/06).

 

In "A New Leaf", the car Walter Mattahu drove was a 330 GT2+2, not a 275 GTB as elsewhere noted. This little-known film is one of my favorite comedies. My favorite line: after Matthau complains that his Ferrari always gets "carbon on the valves," and his friend advises him to give up on the Ferrari and "Get a Bentley," Mattahu retorts, "How dare you!"

 

The whole movie is hilarious. The constantly breaking down Ferrari becomes a running joke.

My favourite is the opening scene where you think you're in a hospital's ER, but instead they're checking the vitals of the V12.

 

there is a beautiful yellow 355 spider in Boiler Room along w/ a diablo VT

 

Really? Then what was it? I have the DVD, love it, but they mention it to be a Ferrari, and there's a Ferrari on the cover. Of course, it could all be a ploy! Do tell, what is the car that drives through the city?

edit>Heh, read some conflicting answers above..

 

Red Testarossa in Bikini Drive-In

 

Scratch that. Red Testarossa with bikini babe on Bikini Drive-In DVD cover...NOT in movie (except *possibly* in one brief background flash).

Rip.

 

It's in both. In the second it is parked at the gangster's house.

 

And there is a nice chase sequence in the additional features I believe.

 

In the movie “2 for the Money” there is a scene where a client calls in to the handicapper and it shows a brief shot of what I thought was a Ferrari 430 Spider. The handicapper calls the car “Your Ferrari F-1” Did I see what I saw? Who you Going to believe? Me or you’re lying eyes? 
