Videos: Iconic Cars from Movies and TV: A Gearhead's Ultimate Guide


Gearheads often remember the fast cars more than the movies or television shows where they appeared. In many scenes, cool cars outshine the actors, the television scripts, or the movie screen plays. The car chase scenes are often more compelling than anything else. Back in the days of Blockbuster Video, who doesn't remember renting the Bullitt video, sliding the tape into your VCR, and having the video cued up at the famous chase scene between the Charger and the Mustang fastback? Roaring engine sounds often eclipse a tv or movie score, if you want to get right down to it. And the sound effects of sirens blaring, cars crashing, sliding out, the General Lee jumping a stream, or burning rubber can even give a car guy or car gal goosebumps and an adrenalin rush right in front of a home or surround sound movie screen.
