Well, why not reuse the last one. It's already paid for. I guess Jeep is putting some major bucks into the picture. | ||

"We view Jeep as the perfect partner in this film because the brand's attributes are a natural fit with the Lara Croft character," and “To create the vehicle, we took the ultimate off-road machine, a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, and tailored it to fit what aristocratic Lady Lara Croft, would need to do her job as a tomb raider,” At first thought,I was sure the film makers forgot the Lara Croft character is British. Now, I'm sure they forgot she is British--what would the Queen say! All tolled--I kind of like the Lara Croft jeep, but where do the tires go when you hit a bump? | ||

In the 2nd Tomb Raider Lara Crofts' stock portfolio takes a dive! She is forced to trade her Mansion in England, and Land Rover, for a small apartment in a overly populated city in the U.S., and drive a cheap wrangler!!! Hey, everyones feeling the crunch! | ||

Wow. I wonder how much bank was thrust into that movie to get that product placement. Oh well, at least this one can actually be bought in the US. Tom | ||

Yeah Tom and the sad thing is a read somewhere that they actually are planning on selling a version of it to the public. As Doug points out I hope they scale the tires down or add some giant bumpstops. As much work as they probably did on that thing it still looks like a cheap jeep with some cheesy plastic fender flares to me. | ||

After all the "special" work on the Land Rover in TR1, it got about 15 seconds of screen time. Now that its a Chrysler product it will probably be the star of the show. | ||

Too bad it's not an H2 with snorkle and light bar...that would have looked tough  -Lawrence | ||
| Doug Campbell (Dougc) New Member Username: Dougc Post Number: 7 Registered: 12-2002 |
I thought the H2 was already getting top billing for "Tomb Raider III: Lara Croft and then Jewels of Suburbia." | ||

Well if she just abandons the thing in the woods again, then why not a jeep? | ||

You guys are all wrong- TRIII will feature Lara in a Pontiac Aztec on some swampers and a nice lift. It even comes with a snorkel and soccer mom stickers on the windows. | ||
| Chris Marcel (Gumarcel) Senior Member Username: Gumarcel Post Number: 326 Registered: 11-2002 |
Ha i remeber somewhere seeing that exact thing, an aztec with a lift and swampers. We live in sad times, sad times indeed! |
