MINIs On The Screen

Sure, we've all seen The Italian Job I and II, right? (You haven't? Shame on you!) What about other appearances? Well, the other night Mythbusters did a piece on gas consumption when under stress, and there, parked in front of their camera van was a MINI!

How many of you have seen similar views in movies or on television? Sorry if this thread has been tried before, but I thought we should at least be as active as the 356 Registry for Porsche fans. They have EVERY flick that has even a single frame of a 356.

Doesn't one of the Bourne films have a Mini?

Yep, a classic Mini in the first Bourne.

BTW, there's already a thread about this:

I just saw one yesterday! Well, kind of. I was watching What's New Scooby Doo (I was home SICK, ok!? And I love watching Scooby Doo) and in one of the episodes (season 2?) the Mystery Inc gang was in Greece. One of their rental cars was DEFINITELY a MINI! No logos or anything, but definitely MINI. Theirs was a red one, and the one chasing them was a yellow MINI. All four kids and a big dog - yep, sounds about right!

The TV Series, "Charmed" had a Silver MINI in it for more than a few seasons. Allysa Milano's character. Phoebe, was the driver.

not TV, but the Webcomic PvP has one of the main characters driving a Mini.
