Let's see....the movie The Holiday, there's a red one in that....Miss Congeniality 2, a silver one, and I think the car that falls off the cliffs in the beginning of Tomb Raider 2 was a mini

 

What ?

 

I'm pretty sure Alyssa Milano drove a MINI on later episodes of 'Charmed'. Rose McGowan drove a New Beetle.

 

Since we're talking about TV Shows now too, in CHiPs one of the characters, I believe it was Jon, drove a Mini.

There was a classic Mini in Lara's garage in the 1st Tomb Raider movie.
Tom Selleck is driving one in 3 Men and a Little Lady.
John Cleese drives one in Clockwise.
I watched Munich over the weekend and there is about 2 seconds of a classic Mini in one of the London scenes.
There is a 1/2 second (or so) shot of the back half of a MINI cabrio in Transformers, during the big fight scene at the end of the movie.
There are lots of others. Look in the background of pretty much any movie filmed in England in the last 40 years and you have a decent chance of spotting a Mini.

 

when I was sick last week, watching lame daytime TV, I saw a parked MINI in the movie Kettle of Fish.
I even went back to confirm.

 

There's a show on the Science Channel (I think) where Dad & lad build rockets...they were building rocket Minis and launching them through goal posts.

/Nigel wants rocket-power :D

 

Alice (Leisha Hailey) drives an electric blue MINI on The L Word.

 

Those poor MINI's!
Here's a link to a clip of them taking off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMBOTLJn3FA

About 2 minutes in, it shows the mangled remains.

 

Holy crap! I wonder if the airbags deployed!

 

Check out this MINI in the new Bourne Conspiracy game trailer for the PS3 and XB360:

(watch from 1:20 to 1:30)

 

Just saw this movie today “The Bank Job” has a nice classic Mini in it. Not a bad movie. Not for the children a lot of T&A!

Its sad to see that done to the poor cars but atleast MINIs out perform no matter what they do if you listen to them with the second car they are raving about how perfect the car reacted and how well it performs...the only reason it got so mangled was because they screwed up the recover shoot...so MINIs also make expectational rockets?

 

I guess I'm glad the Mini also makes such a great rocket but....well.....I'm too busy crying over the mangled Minis.

There is also a classic Mini in Formula 51 with Samuel L. Jackson.

 

Emily Blunt, one of the main characters in The Jane Austen Book Club drives a MINI.

 

There was a MINI in the Sopranos....


A couple of my fav MINI Cooper Commercials....

I love seeing MINIs in the movies, on TV, in magazines...but my favorite spotting will always be.....

The MINI in the wild.....as she goes......
(pic: chasing my husband..blumini)

 

There's also a Classic MINI in Mr. Beans Holiday, and I think it was Rowan Atkinson's own that was used.

Also Ziva David in NCIS drove a new MINI during the prologue of the first episode of the fourth season...although she needs better driving lessons.

 

Lets not forget the mini that was turned into a snow mobile on discovery's monster garage with jesse james

 

There is a PW with Black bonnet stripes toward the end of Alvin and the Chipmunks movie!

 

writing down with a pen

 

Hiugh Grant drives a classic (orange/white) in the beginning of Four Weddings and a Funeral. Although I slightly resent the quote: "It only goes 40 miles and hour!"

 

Someone else pointed out in a recent thread that there is a MINI in the movie Hard Candy... Ellen Page in quite a different role than the one in Juno...

 

I loved this one...

 

If I remember correctly there is a MINI in Spanglish (Adam Sandler movie). When they went to the beach there was one in a neighbor's garage.

 

theres also one in the new chipmonks movie
