There is a MC in the movie Honey. It was either silver or pepper white; scene went to quickly to decipher. But it pulled into the scence and the driver then bought drugs...not the greatest acheivement of the MINI I guess.

 

Nice :smile:

 

I heard there were a few minis in that movie The Italian Job...anyone see it? Is this true?

Quite a few, actually...an article in GoMini talked about using over 32, w/ a full-time 24-hour auto body shop for repairs. Also, apparently the scenes in the LA subway were taken w/ special, electric-motor driven MINIs, and the engine sounds were dubbed in later. This was due to LA laws prohibiting combustion engines in the subway.

Thanks. I will add it to my list of DVDs to rent in the future.
Maybe we will show it at MINI and a Movie in 2004.

 

Saw a MINI in an episode of "Law & Order" last week, it was black with a checkerboard roof, and a very large parking lot attendant climbing out of it.

 

There was a cameo appearance of a Mini w/ stripes and rally lights in Tomb Raider. Looks like it got squashed.

 

It's just your MINI marketing dollars at work.

Good old fashioned product placement...

Sometimes it's product placement -- sometimes it's the director/producer/actors wanting a particular car in a scene.
