Lame movies excellent Series rovers. I reccoment for its rover content.   muskyman Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 12:00 am:    die hard 2....the bad guys come out to get the general on the snow covered tarmac in a RRC   Brian Friend (Brianfriend) Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 12:04 am:    Pet detective 2...jim carry jumps a series 2 and lands it perfectly in a row of series trucks.   Phillip Perkinson (R0ver4x4) Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 12:46 am:    the gods must be crazy.   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 02:02 am:    Clear and Present Danger: they were driving Range Rovers up to the house with the huge lifted yellow truck before it was blown to heck by US CIA or SO. Die Another Day: brief shot of RRs leaving the "ice Palace" as James Bond arrives. I'm sure there's other Bond flicks, but that's the best my brain can do at this hour. pwc   Prescottj (Prescottj) New Member Username: Prescottj Post Number: 124 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 05:17 pm:    The rig in Cliffhanger is SWEET   travis (97reddisco) New Member Username: 97reddisco Post Number: 29 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 07:39 pm:    The best is in Dumb and Dumber.

Bright (Leslie) advanced member Username: Leslie Post Number: 1742 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 10:58 pm:    lol.... Speaking of, I just found my tape of it this evening (the kids had knockd it behind the entertainment center, so I couldn't find it in the stacks back whenever it was we were discussing it....).... There was a show on NBC a week ago, about journalists in the Middle East, had some SIII in it. The opening of one of the Timothy Dalton Bond movies has a military SIII going off a cliff... Romancing the Stone (Michael Douglas' vehicle that gets whacked by the bus at the beginning). Mighty Joe Young (the new version) -L   Chuckwagon Unregistered guest Posted on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 12:09 am:    I watched a movie on the Sundance or IFC channel, I don't remember which, but it was called Fuckland. It was a documentary sort of movie that was kind of interesting, but anyway it had a ridiculous amount of rovers. There was prob one every 2 minutes or less, every other driveway had some kind of LR and one of the main characters drove a red 110.   Todd W. McLain (Ganryu) Member Username: Ganryu Post Number: 115 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 07:08 am:    Brian, Don't forget the Disco in the second season of the Sopranos, when Tony went to Italy.   Rans (Rans) New Member Username: Rans Post Number: 335 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 07:58 am:    In the Bourne Identity, during the chase scene there is an accident where a green RRC broadsides a van. Also on television if anyone watches Monarch of the Glen on BBC America they drive and shit colored, rusty old SIII that I just love. Lot's of other Rover cameo's there. In comercials...how about that snowball rolling downt he street of Aspen(?) that hits the front end of a red DII.   William C. Leek (Onionman) New Member Username: Onionman Post Number: 62 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 01:49 pm:    "Mugambo", from 1953, starring Clark Gable, Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly is a comedy-drama about an Africa safari to catch wild animals for zoos. In one scene, Gable calls his Series model a "jeep". "The List of Adrian Messenger", a suspense movie from the mid-60's, starring Kirk Douglas and George C. Scott, with supporting roles by Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster. How about that line-up? In a scene of a fox hunt across the English countryside, some characters ride in an Series model.   Tom Rowe Unregistered guest Posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 08:26 am:    I just saw Savior, pretty good, but depressing, movie. One scene has a couple of Defenders escorting a bus. Unfortunately Serbs get out of the Defenders, line up the Muslins who were on the bus, smash a few in their heads with an assortment of clubs, then shoot all the rest. Another great Rover movie, is Killer Force, http://us.imdb.com/Title?0073241 Lot's of Land Rovers racing about the desert. One good scene has O.J. Simpson staggering out of a wrecked Series, patting it on the bonnet and saying, "Good Land Rover, good Land Rover". It has the most Land Rovers I've seen in a movie, short of the CT videos.   Greg French (Gregfrench) advanced member Username: Gregfrench Post Number: 179 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 08:30 am:    Last night on Boston Public there was a DII in tha school parking lot   M.A.C.

Bailey (Rover50987) advanced member Username: Rover50987 Post Number: 260 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Friday, February 14, 2003 - 10:58 am:    U2 Video with a glimps of a Discovery - DVD came with the best of 1990-2000. James Bond where he is playing paint ball with Brit forces at Gibraltar and someone makes it into a real game. Bond rides on the top of the Series III that is on fire and swerving. Saw a Freelander on a Jack-in-the-Box comercial. And a Discovery in Law and Order a few weeks ago. The Sum of All Fears - crap movie - has a FC-101 and a great looking Series IIa or III - can't remember. Bourne Identity has both a RR Classic, and a 4.0 or 4.6.   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Advanced member Username: Charlotterover Post Number: 114 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, February 14, 2003 - 11:55 am:    Rans, I saw that one in Bourne Identity too.

Freddie Prinze Jr. drives a yellow soft-top D90 in many scenes. Appeared as if they blew the whole budget on the Defender so they used it in many shots.   Alan Bates (Alanb) Member Username: Alanb Post Number: 93 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Friday, February 21, 2003 - 09:55 am:    Don't know the name of the movie, but some silly Steven Segal movie there was an awsome scene with Steven Segal in a RRC being chased by some bad guys, I remember the RRC flying in the air , maybe off a parking garage, all shot up, doors torn off, then it finally crashed into a parked car, it was pretty cool, but the movied sucked.   Mike Goodell (Mikegoodell) New Member Username: Mikegoodell Post Number: 18 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, February 21, 2003 - 03:10 pm:    Just on last weekend, Morgan Freeman in "chain reaction" driving an RRC.   Jesse Lessard (Jlessard) New Member Username: Jlessard Post Number: 33 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 09:20 pm:    Hey a new movie to add to the list! "1st to die" on NBC the psycho killer just drove up in a nice new silver D2. It has showed quite a few really nice glamor shots so far   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Senior member Username: Leslie Post Number: 1796 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 10:26 pm:    Oh, I remembered another newer one.... There was a movie on Sci-Fi a few months ago, called "Dog Soldiers" if I remember correctly... it's about a group of Brit soldiers on a training exercise in the Scottish Highlands, and discover that they're bait to catch some werewolves... anyway, there's a biology grad student driving a 109, pulls up at a cottage, there's a Series in the barn, too... one of those low-budget flicks, but, I thought it was cool..... FWIW... -L   Jeff Light (Mongo) New Member Username: Mongo Post Number: 4 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, February 24, 2003 - 09:21 pm:    Don't forget "Tomb Raider" If you can get past Angeline   Paul Clawson (Pnut) New Member Username: Pnut Post Number: 29 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 07:38 am:    John wayne did a movie called "Daktari" I think. Its one of the series pickup trucks and a rhino nails the side of...I don't even think it scratched it.   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Senior Member Username: Deanbrown3d Post Number: 513 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 08:02 am:    Not movies, but TV programs if you're interested: Adventure Inc., while kinda pathetic, does have bimbos and land rovers occasionally. There was recently even a car chase between a defender and a mustang, and LOL the rover kept up (until it crashed). Scout's Safari. Regularly has series rovers all over the town. Man I love that program Dean   William C. Leek (Onionman) Member Username: Onionman Post Number: 65 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:42 am:    The John Wayne movie was called "Hatari", and the rhino gored a man riding in an old Dodge power wagon. The only Land Rovers in that movie were parked in the background as the characters chased a baby elephant through a small city.   Reed Cotton (Reedcotton) New Member Username: Reedcotton Post Number: 19 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2003 - 11:29 am:    If you can find it, try "Ice cold in Alex" only one 109 SW at the end of the flick, but it is a great off-road (mostly sand dunes) adventure film. The picture was a WWII film so the Land- Rover doesn't belong in the movie.   R. B. Bailey (Rover50987) Senior Member Username: Rover50987 Post Number: 338 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2003 - 01:33 pm:    The John Wayne one is great - real stunts in those days... The special edition of Lawrence of Arabia shows 109's being used to haul the camera equipment. The one with Sam Waterston and Denzel Washington about S. Africa and aparthied, can't remember the name but there are some pretty good Rover shots in that.   Steve Cooper (Scrover) Member Username: Scrover Post Number: 214 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2003 - 01:55 pm:    Watched 'The Fourth Angel' on TMC this weekend. Jeremy Irons gets to grenade a Range Rover with Jason Priestly inside. Yeah!!!   Reed Cotton (Reedcotton) New Member Username: Reedcotton Post Number: 20 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2003 - 06:30 pm:    Another movie that used quite a few Land Rovers, was Skeleton Coast staring Ernest Borgnine. Even had the old "Chain a guy to a Land-Rover and watch the tide come in" scene in it. Other that the Rovers, the movie is pretty bad though even for a low budget action/adventure flick.   Nick Chorneau (Nicholas) New Member Username: Nicholas Post Number: 8 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 09:10 am:    Anyone see "Dont Say a Word"?

Only because I like it when people call me a terrorist supporting, environment hating, gas guzzling male with an inferiority complex. But they did mention Land Rover and showed them several times.   phil (Powerslide) Member Username: Powerslide Post Number: 59 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 06:39 pm:    Did anyone mention "The Wild Geese" it is about British Mercs hired to liberate some African nation.   Will Bobbitt (Rkores) Member Username: Rkores Post Number: 216 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 07:57 pm:    We started watching Gorillas in the Mist today in science class. It is about Jane Goodall. Towards the begining they show her driving off-road in a SIII 109 with no top. The only problem is that seen is set in 1967 and SIII's didn't come out until 4 years later. I called this out in class and everyone laughed at me...
