Saw the MINI convertible on Scrubs, and one of the agents on NCIS has a MINI.

On The Beatles Abbey Road album cover there is a red Mini halfway down the street on the right (as you're looking at it).

Not a movie, but there is a classic MINI in a Japanese mini-series directed by Takashii Miike called "MPD Psycho". There is also a song by the Japanese band, Pizzicato Five, called "Mini Cooper".

Saw that episode today. I'm tempted to point out that I think the emergency brake light is on throughout that entire scene.

I bought the fourth season on DVD not to long ago, so I'll have to check that out again. (Yes, I'm a NCIS fanatic )

On some episodes of Mythbusters, when they're in the parking lot behind their studio, I've noticed a Pepper White Cooper with a checkerboard roof parked.

I just saw this movie... Love Ellen Page - she's so talented...

But why did the MINI have to be the pedophile's car?

And they treated it near the beginning like a car he used to lure in the younger girls....

Minis filmed in Nevada

Does anyone know of any movies or TV shows filmed in Nevada that included shots of Mini Coopers? Thanks!

I was going to ask the same question. I assume it has to be a staff person since they were on a closed set. It was a nice looking car. Wonder if they are a member of NAM.

Kate also gets abducted in a MINI when she's pursuing Ari...I'm pretty sure.

NCIS fanatic here, too.

I just watched the first episode of "Primeval" on BBCA last night and there is a scene with a black classic Mini being driven by one of the main characters.

Anyone know who belongs to the Mythbusters MINI? I saw it again on the episode demonstrating how stressful driving consumes more gas. Well, duh, but it WAS pretty funny how they went about proving it (loading 'em up on fluids, telling them they'd just taken a laxative--turned out to be a fake--cars cutting them off, etc., etc.) It was a pretty significant amount, though.

Time resurrect the thread.

There was a Mellow Yellow R56 on the Sept 17th episode of Ghost Hunters on SciFi. Saw it about 7 minutes into the show.

Someone mentioned his movie but MR Bean featured his Mini lots in the TV series:




Also you might enjoy an old thread of mine with Mini commercials:

Ghost Hunter MINI Owner

Apparently one of the members of TAPS on Ghost Hunters has a Mellow Yellow MINI. On the Sept 24th episode you can see one parked next to their office as they are leaving. It looks like the same one in last week's show.

Seeing as TAPS is based out of Warwick, RI maybe the MINI came from INSKIP.
I know...useless comment....
