D-90s in the Movies

[OCD90]

I was on a flight back from the UK yesterday, and they showed an independent film called, "This is Not a Love Song." It has some footage of D-90s as people are hunting the countryside for some bumbling fugitives. Nothing special....probably only 30-seconds total, but it appeated to be an ST, with a hood mounted spare. Blue, I believe. I was delerious from jetlag, so the details are spotty.

It's definitely not worth seeing for the D-90s, but FYI.

[wicks]

Isn't there an ongoing thread somewhere in here regarding D-90s in film? Or did I see that on the Series 1 MSN group?

Well...

Stephen King's Dreamcatcher had lots of a D110 as the tactical vehicle of the Alien-fighting secret police led by Morgan Freeman.

Anyone care to add?

[dmarchand]

What about the Italian Job, original and remake...

[rover4x4]

i THINK the movie 28 Days had some good coverage of the Wolf D-90's and 110's

[chrisvonc]

Defenders all over the place in that movie.

[wicks]

Let's see what do we have so far?

1) Tomb Raider (Custom LRNA 110)
2) Dreamcatcher (D110)
3) Italian Job (?)
4) 28 Days (MoD D90s, D110, 130, FC)
5) This Is Not a Love Song (D90s)

Defenders are a bit trendy I should think.

Let's keep it going...

[rover4x4]

cant forget THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY (series galor)

I think in the movie Heist there is a glimpse of a lifted RR classic in one of the chase scenes.

[PT94D90]

Ace Ventura (the second one) series rovers everywhere

[CDN22]

Bad Boys II

[bd90]

'Die Hard 2' The bad guys drove a Range Rover

'Cliffhanger' I'm pretty sure I saw Sly Stallone driving a 110 SW (or maybe a 90 SW)

And of course, '3 Weddings and a Funeral' Kristen Scott Thomas drove a Series III I think

[KeithD]

It may not have been Cliffhanger but I remember Stallone driiving a blueish grey Land rover in one of his movies but i think it was an SII or SIII. (Later - it was an SIII - check this out!!!
http://207.44.132.28/~admin148/4x4xfar/celebrity_rovers.htm

[flippedrover]

Cliffhanger was a Series

[bd90]

I only saw the rear of that Cliffhanger LR for a second and ASS-U-ME- ed it was a Defender. thanks for the correction.

[pcarey]

One of the more oscure ones: Hard Boiled.
I think there were some near the end as ambulances but they might have been Toyotas. I was pretty tired the last time I saw it.

pwc

[RichardMoore]

there is a series I in the closing shots of Ice Cold in Alex and also midway through 633 Squadron, these both being WWII movies makes the LR a time machine!

Talking of time machines Dr. Who was always good for a bit of Landy spotting especially in the late 1960's/ early 70's

[Mike Hippert]

The world is not enough (007). Been trying to find one so I could add to the thread.

[Joe P]

There was another movie just recently with Angelina Jolie about third world relief efforts that had a series. i can't think of the name, but I'll find it and post it.

[Chaucer]

It was "Beyond Borders"

[Joe P]

That was it

[wicks]

Black Mask - Chinese Action Movie (Jet Li). MoD 90, AT 90, etc. One gets blown up. :(

[roverboy]

There's a red beater Series II A parked in a corn field in the movie "Barfly" from the 80's. Killer movie with the screenplay written by the greatest author/poet of our time...Charles Bukowski.

[Mike Hippert]

110 pickup on ER last night on TV. I also thought I saw a Defender on the commercial for the minny series for Traffic.

[mikeslandrover]

James Bond - The Living Daylights - D90's chasing about around Gibralta and heavily descised as "Russian" trucks.:grin

[TDI Guy]

Hey. I just saw Bad Boys II. They have a sick chase sceen with a ser III 109 2 door s/t. Also, did anyone see the video from Kelly Clarkston? Don't know the name of the song(I'm not a fan) but she is driving a early Ser IIa 88 with no top through the entire video. Very cool.

RAndy

[dmarchand]

Yeah, she sucks. She pushes that series right off a hill....

Not that I'm a fan of course..

[Buckon37s]

Bad boys one. Series three that the drug dealer drives. Kinda cool.

[Doug]

There's a Defender Bowler running in the Paris Dakar. Caught a brief view of it last night on SpeedTV. Not a front runner, so coverage will be minimal at best.

DW

[TDI Guy]

Not that I'm a fan....but....... "Not that there is anything wrong with that!" Did you guys ever notice that they always have to wreck every rover in every movie/video/etc... What the F&%k.. I always get pissed. I wanted to kick Kelly's ass when she pushed the IIa of the cliff. And what about the one Ace Ventura movie where they drive that monster truck over the tiger striped iia and crush it to shit.... OK.. I'm done venting..

[sherpamike]

I just saw a Capital One commercial on ESPN that had what looked to be a some kind of LR. Whatever it was, was a toy car with zebra stripes. Maybe a D-90 or a Series 88?

[Art Vigil]

There's a LWB series in the Dell commercial with the people pretending to be in boot camp.:eek:

There's a yellow D90 in the movie "She's all that" can't believe nobody got that one yet :grin

[chrisvonc]

Maybe your the only one who saw it. :grin

[Art Vigil]

Also, there was a red '94 D90 in the show "The Sentinel" for the first 5 or 6 episodes.

Oh and don't forget about the *Connistion green D90ST in Beverly Hills 90210.


* Interesting side note: There were actually two identical D90s in 90210 and they were property of Pioneer Centres of San Diego (or purchased back by the dealership). Pioneer Centres also owned the Denver dealership that became Land Rover Denver East and the vehicles were transferred to Denver to sell when the show was done using them.
When I purchased my '95 D90 in September '95 it had about 700 miles on it and for the longest time I thought it was one of the 90210 vehicles. I later learned it wasn't, but it was fun while it lasted. :cool:

[wicks]

I used to do the advertising for 90210 - wish I was still doing it when the 90 was appearing, would have been fun to design into some ads but the gals at Fox would likely have not bought those comps. ;)

[Mike Hippert]

On the Chucky Cheese website they all dance around a yellow D-90 in one of the movies.

[dmarchand]

Chucky Cheese website

Your a strange man Mike... ;)

[Mike Hippert]

Awww man, I don't think it's there anymore.

Hey! Dave I was helping out a 3 year old at the time! I just thought it was cool that it was a NAS D-90 in the movie and not a j**p.

[wicks]

Just saw BEYOND BORDERS. Actually a good flick. Angie rides in Defenders on the screen once again. Very interesting action.

Here's the updated complete list. I am now going to keep it as such going forward...please let me know of any additions!!

Note that there was 1 title in 2001, 2 in 2002, and 3 in 2003, all fairly notable releases (thus added). Perhaps the Defender is just starting to get popular?

Wicks ;)

Bad Boys II 101s and seiries IIIs

[Quimbola]

Anybody know the number of the two 90's on 90210? When I bought mine, it had been in a pilot with Robert Wagner, some detective show.

[chrisvonc]

SciFi channel ran some movie about dog/werewolves and there were 2 109/110? that got trashed.

[dmarchand]

I caught that the other night to. Brit soldiers trashing the "hood" on that 109. It was a nice rig. And good to see a 109 as a get-away car. Sort of.

[wicks]

Guys the reason those aren't on the list is that there are already extensive lists of series trucks in film, etc. done by Series club members.

This list is for Defenders in Film. If they come along with a Series, that is circumstantial.

And 90210 can OU812.

[chrisvonc]

I mentioned them because I didnt catch for sure if they were 110s or not.

[Burke]

I was watching Navy Seals on AMC last night. Chase scene at the end with a Series III.

[boshea]

Range Stormer to appear in the next Bond movie

[wicks]

Chris, let me know on that page if you want me to treak anything or anything. I look forward to being a contributing editor of d-90.com. ;)

[waveridin1959]

I think the name of the movie is Bravo 2-0 or something. About the SAS in the gulf war. Military rovers, classics, the works.

[Glenn_Guinto]

Timely that this thread got bumped back up. I'm having lunch at home right now and flipping through the channels. MTV is showing a video of Kelly Clarkson (sp?) that features a SIIa. Lots of coverage as she drove it the whole video and pushed it off the cliff towards the end.

[wicks]

Glenn, we're not supposed to talk about that one.

[Glenn_Guinto]

oh, sorry my bad...

Just read the previous posts and I forgot this is a "Defender in the Movies thread...not series, not discos, not range rovers...

:grin

[wicks]

What I meant was it is too sad an abuse of the Land Rover product. ;)

[dmarchand]

Hmmmm, just got a Jcrew catalogue last night and they had a Series on the cover.

Not that I shop Jcrew...

[waveridin1959]

Somebody may have already said this, but there is a Model leaning against a white ST 90 in the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

[chrisvonc]

Just saw a new movie tonight that has 2 Green D90 SW's in it. However, I cant tell the name of the movie just yet since it just opened today and kind of will directly spoil the ending.

[XD90]

SciFi channel ran some movie about dog/werewolves and there were 2 109/110? that got trashed.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that movie was called Dog soliders perhaps there was about 3 series vehicals in that i think a 109 and an 88 if i remember?

also that big yellow tank looking thing in judge dread was a defender underneath the whole vehical was built by LRSV i thinkwas an artical about in in LROI a couple of years back

there is another but i cant think of it right now ... as usual


James

[norros]

What is the only major motion picture to have the ONLY vehicle in the entire movie be a NAS D90 ?

Nicholas

p.s. I've been slammed lately... will have the rooftop tent pics up tonight.

[Mike Hippert]

I can think of one that has a Defender as I think the only vehical but it is not a NAS 90!

[norros]

which one ?

[Mike Hippert]

Tomb Radier. I have not seen the movie, so just a guess.

[norros]

Nope, that's not it.


And I don't think it's the ONLY vehicle in the movie.

My question was... what major motion picture, had ONE vehicle in the ENTIRE movie and it happened to be a NAS D90 ?

More clearly... my apologies.


Nicholas

[Mike Hippert]

NO apologies needed!:grin

[Nobrega]

The only one to be driven, or the only one seen....i.e. there are no parked cars or traffic?

[norros]

Andrew,

It's the only car to be driven, seen, parked, or in traffic (there is no traffic in the movie)...

:)

Nicholas

[DJ Menasco]

The Gods must be Crazy?

Or was that a series he winched up into the tree? I can't remember.

Hey Chris,... did you see the movie ?

or how did you guess/find out ?

You totally ruined the movie.... :)Not my fault your too slow to go see it. :)

Hey Chris,... did you see the movie ?
.

Prize is a beer on me if you ever get to Tallahassee!I saw it the night it was released which is why when I made the post in the other thread I didnt saw the movie name at that time. :)

[rover4x4]

fuck I just got back from seeing that. tWO Conniston Green Wagons..

[thelandroverguy]

You know guys there is a teen movie, in which a kid drives a yellow softtop. Give me a day and it will come to me.

[Milo]

"She's all that" had a 97 yellow ST!

Follow-up Post:

And if you look closely in Charlies Angels after joey from friends trailer gets shot up theres either a black or green ST..... Sorry a little off topic

[chrisvonc]

Merged this with the "D-90s in the Movies" thread

[Glenn_Guinto]

The movie Bend it Like Beckham had a red D90 SW driving on the streets of London in the opening credits.

[TDI Guy]

I saw a movie on tv last night where people were being chassed by a giant wolf or something. THey were picked up in the woods in a 2 door Ser IIa 109. THey were driving it so fast that the front wheels kept popping of the trail

[chrisvonc]

I saw a movie on tv last night where people were being chassed by a giant wolf or something. THey were picked up in the woods in a 2 door Ser IIa 109. THey were driving it so fast that the front wheels kept popping of the trailSOunds like the scene in "Dog Solders". Story of a british army unit sent in to find a unit of missing special forces and run into a pack of werewolves. SciFi channel?

[TDI Guy]

Yes, Chris, that was it...

[rover4x4]

what was that movie? 28 days later or something? there were a number of Wolfs in it? something where people get some wierd disease and the woprld gets wiped out and there are only a few people that survive???

[chrisvonc]

28 Days Later was about an engineered virus getting out of the facility and wiping out Great Britain.

[Deon]

Ok, so now that we almost got all the movies, how about posting some vidcaps of those?

[mlw911]

I believe there is a Series vehicle the Hugh Grants friend drives in 4 Weddings and a Funeral. Just saw the Village also, and called the D90 out to my wife when they showed just the top of the dash as the guy looks out the window.

Michael

[wicks]

Chris - how about letting me edit that D90s in the movies page?

[Mike Hippert]

LOL, What are you going to do, chop out all the non D-90 related movies and comments?

[wicks]

YEP. ;)

No, there will be a separate page covering Series stuff.

[fpkelly]

Chris gets the prize.

Nicholas
Hey, not exactly true. I was thinking about it and remembered they had some old Buicks or something in the pictures from when they met before they left to go to the village.

[mspell]

A M. Night Shamalan movie had a D90 SW w/a good few shots.. Won't say which one & ruin the movie though...

[chrisvonc]

Chris - how about letting me edit that D90s in the movies page?Been thinking about how this could be done. Due to security issues, you would not be able to modify the thread contents aside from your own posts so if you modify the first post with your list, I can smoke all the other posts.

[chrisvonc]

Ok dumb ass me... I just realized you were not the one who made the first post. Wicks, the simplest way for me to let you keep up a list like this her ein the forum woul dbe if you create a new thread for Defenders in the movies and then put your list there. As people spot new stuff, they can post and then you will be able to modify the first post.

[jgoodyear]

Charlies Angles I, When the bad guys kindanp the programer in the parking garage its a black D-90 that they use for the abduction.. I think.. Its been a while since I have seen that move.

Juan

[Davis]

I have only seen a trailer for the movie, but I sure as shooting think I saw a D90 in Team America: World Police ...

[KeithD]

I don't - think it was a Jeep - the desert scene? What a crap movie btw. Do not bother - funny for the first 5 minutes and that's it. More laughs in Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's black and white thunderbirds spoof in the 60s - and that lasted 3 minutes.

[JBurt]

They were H2s and Jeeps in Team America. I only post because I loved it. If you're a South Park fan you'll get the subtle references, if not, go to Colorado and get your money back from the director :) .

[rustydefender]

I'm sad to say I saw a Britney Spears video with a yellow d9o in it I think it was hit me baby one more time. Though tomb raider was terrible that 110 is one of the baddest looking things on four wheels i have ever seen. Definetly much cooler than the jeep in the second one.

[JBurt]

Worse yet is the Kelly Clarkson video where she kicks the Series over the cliff.
Before I owned a 90 I'd have given my "Off"-Rodeo and a kidney for that thing.

[sherpamike]

There is a Forward Control in "Three Kings" with George Clooney

[rustydefender]

new one- there is a long driving scene in a blue one ten through the snow it gets a couple bullet holes in it but survives

[rover4x4]

the movie dreamcatcher there is a 110 with a Rover V8, I am pretty sure the truck wasnt NAS. wierd movie tho

[rustydefender]

Very, Very weird Stephen King is messed up. I actually thought it was scary until I saw the alien thing and he sounded like a Monty Python character

[rover4x4]

watched teh Village again, its a 95 wagon

[PT94D90]

Well...

Stephen King's Dreamcatcher had lots of a D110 as the tactical vehicle of the Alien-fighting secret police led by Morgan Freeman.



I just saw this movie for the first time. That looks like a very new 110 and the movie was filmed in Canada. Anybody know how they could get a new, non-NAS 110 into Canada?

[KeithD]

Seeing the trailers for Hotel Rwanda- there is a white 110 very prominent

getting a new 110 into Canada is easy - either one yeartemp import or for promotional/non-road use I think.

[dmarchand]

Funny, I think they had that or a similar 110 from the movie listed on LRX.com yesterday.

[PT94D90]

gotchya. seems like a lot of trouble and unnecessary expense for a small part in a movie, but i guess if you have a hollywood budget...

[wicks]

HOTEL RWANDA - Don Cheadle

[jvelador]

I know you wanted a D90-specific list, but... here it goes.

The Judge Dredd vehicle was not a Defender as someone posted previously. It was a 101FC (forward control).

The Serpent and the Rainbow had them driving around in a Series III, though Bill Pullman kept calling it a "Jeep" thanks to the know-nothing writers.

I Dream of Africa, with the beautiful and talented Kim Basinger has several Series IIs, LWB and SWB. She even gets one stuck in a mud pit! No winch, of course, so my honey has to walk home.

There was an episode of ER where the good Drs. were providing health care in an African (?) country. They drove several Series vehicles.

Of course, Snatch has a black Range Rover crawling around the pikey camps, "I fokin 'ate pikeys"!

Jav

[WCURoverD90]

Theres a new movie coming out this month that has a lot of, what looks like defenders and series truck in it. I will try to remember the name, Looks like a pretty good movie...

[boshea]

M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village" features a Defender SW toward the end of the film. I also caught the beginning of a Kelly Clarkson video on MTV in which she was driving a Series vehicle....

[JBurt]

That (insert female explitive, come on be creative) pushed it over the edge though. Why couldn't they take my old truck and roll it off the edge and give me that one?

[jvelador]

Does anyone know what song the video is for? I'm curious.

[JBurt]

At the risk of being the complete opposite of the Defender owner stereotype:
http://www.rcarecords.com/media/kelly_clarkson/video/low_300.asx (http://www.kellyclarksonweb.com/)

Funny part, she talks about the concept for the video on her website (http://www.kellyclarksonweb.com/) and basically she's stealing her ex's truck that he's obsessed with (I'm reaching here, but not unlikely since it is a series vehicle) instead of her and Ferris Bueller's the thing.
This leads to the question: Who on here dated Kelly Clarkson? :cool:


I promise I've never been there except to check this for Javier.

[rover4x4]

damn there should be a law against destroyin Land Rovers. why couldnt they have used a jeep? :cuss

[wicks]

Must have been a low burg vid, cuz they clearly didn't hurt the rover, just rolled it down a hill. I rented my series II to a film once, i need to find out what they used it in and see.

She's kind of a punk/pink/country chick. Wierd hybrid. Kinda scene.

[Mike Hippert]

I have to agree with Wicks, I don't think it got totaled, it was most likely happy that it got to go offraoding instead of having to listen to her.:grin

[JBurt]

So I'm watching Reign of Fire today (nothing else to do cause the truck's in the shop) - There's a 110 that get's F-ed up in it. Made me sad, then I remembered it was filmed in Britain and they have tons of them over there...sniff...sniff...

[jvelador]

Wicks was right, the car was not damaged. If you look at the video, it was rolled off a little mound. Since they showed a cliff right before she stopped, it gives the impression she's at the edge of the cliff. Though she can't sing, she's actually very pretty in her own way.

Anyway, here's proof the thing still leaves and breathes:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6296&item=4540387616&rd=1

It's up for sale, obviously. Look at the pics closely and you realize why they only chose certain angles. Even my Series would have looked better :)

Javier

[Mark M]

I was watching Showdog Moms and Dads on Bravo last night and noticed that one of the people they are profiling, Kyra drives a White '94 ST. The show is kind of like a real-life version of "Best in Show".

[gtg067i]

I just saw a Lincoln Financial Group commercial with an older lady driving around in a white defender 110 pickup. Very cool, I have never actually seen one before other than the ones ECR builds but this one wasn't a hi cap pick up but definately a single cab. That would be a fantastic truck to have, really show all those dang f-150s down here in Georgia something new.

[JBurt]

I learned to drive on a F-150...I still miss it. Love the D though.

[Doug]

Mark,

Kyra is the wife of one of SCLR's past presidents, Randy Banis. Randy is, among other things, Webmaster of DeathValley.com. Do a search on 'Last Chance Rand' and you'll find Randy's previous lifetime, before being Chalsy's 'dad'. ;)

DW

[KeithD]

Just seen the Village (which is much better than rated, just don't expect a horror story) nice amount of D90 defender with rusty door hinge screws...but....the thing says it is a V8 but it sounds like a diesel. Must have been dubbed after. and how did they get the ladder in/on it....

saw a yellow one in DC the other day - who's is it?

[rover4x4]

its a NAS D-90.

[Rover- Girl]

Does anyone have any 1994 -97 D-90 comercials on tape !?
Did they produce any here or just in the UK !?

[rover4x4]

nah just in the UK if you a re lucky I have only seen NAS rover adds in print

[Eric Siepmann]

Layer Cake. Near the end there a a gorgeous 110 Double Cab TRD edition for around 5 minutes. It's a shame because they end up puttig bullet hole in it at the conclusion!

TRD 110 Cre Cab

Roof Rack
Canvas over the bed
Spare on Bonnet
Looks like a brush guard as well.
Almost looks lifted and larger tires.

A very nice D-110 indeed.

[cdy8]

Layer Cake is a great movie too.

[steved90]

new nick cage movie lord of war
about 6-10 d110's and just a cool movie but the d's help... went with some friends from work and they all think i am crazy about my d90 and then during the movie they were all like hey that just like yours only bigger. sweet movie.

[TDI Guy]

Cool. I want to see that movie. Looks cool and with the D's in it, thats a hit with me

[rover4x4]

Not a bad flick. Some neat Defenders.

[norros]

Well, this isn't really a movie, but a promotional advertisement for UNIMOGS...
Been googling Unimog's & Pinzgauer's just for the hell of it. Who knows.

In any case, about 1/2 way through the video it shows a 'new' Unimog pulling a D90 ST...
The D90 isn't stuck, they're just showing the 'power' of the Unimog.

http://www.unimogtrucks.com/media/unimog.mpg

[Mike Hippert]

Mogs are cool, I would have liked to see one of the snow throwers in action. And that 90 looks very NAS, like it was filmed in the US.

[flippedrover]

Its a promo video.

[loved90]

New movie Lord of War with Nic Cage has several 110's in it.

[JBurt]

I noticed one that was faded out in "Alfie". It's in one of his monologues...and no, my fiance` picked the movie.

[chris snell]

I saw a 110 (or was it a 90?) in "Jarhead". Great flic, by the way.

[WCURoverD90]

I saw a 110 (or was it a 90?) in "Jarhead". Great flic, by the way.


I saw that as well. I believe it was a 110, and yes that was a great flic

[steved90]

a friend from work today told me that the Dr. in Gray's anatomy TV show was driving a yellow d90 in the sunday show, i can niether confirm or deney this.

[mpodgorski]

i saw that episode, it was a series 88. Right at the very end, that to Tivo I was able to see it.

[Doug]

"The Interpreter" has a terrific 110 in the opening expositions about Kidman's character. Good film, too.

DW

[jvelador]

I saw The Da Vinci Code twice today. I saw three Land Rovers in the movie, two Discoveries and a 110. The book specified that they ditched the French Police in a Range Rover, in the movie, it was a Zambezi Silver RHD 110, complete with a roof rack. It was a nice surprise.

If you read the book, you'll be pleased with the movie. If you haven't, I suggest you hurry up and read the book first.

If you read the book, you'll be pleased with the movie. If you haven't, I suggest you hurry up and read the book first.

Javier

No doubt they used a D110 as they couldnt find a Range Rover with "polypropylene" headlamps..... :confused

[1000kva]

I just saw "The Muse" with Sharon Stone. About 3/4's of the way through it, you catch a glimpse of a red 90 sitting in traffic on the freeway. That is probably the only reason to watch this movie, FYI.

[JBurt]

Underworld Evolution has a nice RRC in it. Garage full of vehicles, funny the only one that starts in a landy

[Doug]

"Duma", a movie about an African farm family that adopts a cheetah, has lots of great footage of a new Defender 110 crew cab. Interior shots, driving shots, desert off-road shots. The truck is the family's main vehicle, followed by a Porche Speedster and a BMW boxer with side-car. Fun film, btw.

Went to see the new Superman today and there was a preview for some high school comedy about some guy"must die" I don't remember the full title but the last words were "must die". As part of the preview there are 2 girls making out in a red D90.

[Mark M]

The movie is "John Tucker Must Die". the trailer is here:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/johntuckermustdie/trailerb/

Living in the Hollywood area I'm surprised that I haven't seen that truck around. I know of two red soft tops in the area, but neither of them has had the fiberglass top installed.

Then again, I'm assuming the movie was shot in LA....

-M

[jvelador]

I would have lent them my truck for a scene like that, gratis! According to MovieInsider.com, it was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Official movie page, looks funny

Killer sheep and a Series IIa pickup. I can't wait for this one!

[themaxx]

Stuck at the airport, flight delay due to bad weather in Cincinnati :boring , decide to watch the movie "John Tucker must Die". The Monza Red 94 Defender has aftermarket seats that I couldn't identify, along with SafariGard front, rear bumpers and rock sliders. Factory top and no rear seat(s).

There was a scene in the movie near the end where 'John Tucker' has the 90 at his birthday party, high school kids are sitting all over the truck...the bonnet. I was just cringing the whole time. I know now that if ever I'm asked about the use of my 90 for a movie or whatever, I'm going to need to know in detail what the plans are.

[Billakris]

There were series trucks all over in The Last King of Scotland.

I loved the movie too, but seeing land rovers always makes a movie entertaining.

I'm a pretty big guy and I walk and sit on the hood of mine all the time. So to me a couple of kids sitting on it not a big deal. Oh was the movie any good?

[Shake]

"John Tucker Must Die" Teenage chick flick. New release (kinda). Daughter made me watch it. The rich kid, jock, getting all the action has a red D-90 ST. See it quite a bit.

[Devin W]

Some neat footage of a pair of 110's (one below) in ROAM, which is a pretty cool MTB flick. I think they're in Morocco IIRC.

ROAM Video (http://www.thecollectivefilm.com/roam/index_roam.html)

[jordan0527]

Not a movie...but I saw an Arles Blue SW on a Farmer's Insurance commercial last night during "Nightline". I think it was for disaster insurance. Some guy lost his house and is seen brushing his teeth in the side view mirror of the truck (I think this was supposed to be funny). Random that they would use a D90...probably it belonged to the director or something.

[Caribsurf]

Saw this movie on a flight, "The Queen" I think it was called about the Queen of England etc...many many Defender 110s roaming the countryside and the royal family has a collection of them. If you need a Defender fix, this is the movie to see.

One memorable scene where the Queen driving the green 110 by herself gets it stuck crossing a stream and has to call on of her staff for assistance...

My brother has had that DVD for a while. Pretty awesome. It even made a viewers choice award at Banff Film Festival this year. Felt cheated when they played the segment at the showing here in Austin since both my brother and I had seen the whole thing.

Great DVD for MTB fans.

Can't say it is the "best" movie, but its my favorite LR movie because we did all the Rovers for the production:
"Ace Ventura, When nature calls"

and before you say it... all those Rovers were crap and pieced together with duct tape and cardboard under the paint. We didn't send them anything good to wreck.

Mike, I am so glad to hear that. It always drove me nuts to see thse Rovers smashed like that. Pretty cool that you did them. I have to watch again.

I got a call a while back from someone (whoever does this...location scouts?) wanting to buy my Range Rover classic (the one that looks like a rolling SG advertisement) to use in a movie. I asked them what they planned to do with it as I'd be happy to let them use it in the movie but I didn't want to sell it. They said they were going to blow it up so I would not want to just let them use it.

Never found out what movie that was for but a year or so later that movie with Jamie Foxx "Kingdom" came out and at least in the trailer (I haven't seen the film) they destroy a RRC. I guess that was the movie.

[mountainviewrover]

groomsmen. very late in the movie arial shot you can see a d90 with full roof cage and roof top basket parked in the road.

I love the scene when they first get to Africa and Jim Carey is bouncing around in the Series like they are heading down some beaten path like in the old Mutual of Omaha nature show and then they pull back and the passenger is not moving and they are on a flat road... cracks me up all the time.

Anyone see the nice series trucks in "The Bank Job" starring Jason Stathom?

Not exactly a movie, but about 35 minutes into the March 6 Apple iphone roadmap keynote, they show a series truck in a slideshow.

Aaaw geek out!

I rented "Rendition" last night - saw a few Defender sightings.


Thought I'd add a link to the trailer http://www.renditionmovie.com/ there's a sighting in that too.

[oldscratchggf]

in one of the old Big Brother "skate" videos, they show some dude grinding a handrail, while casually in the background somebody jumps a D90 what looks like a good 30 feet off of some sort of embankment.

[oldscratchggf]

There was a nice 110 ex mod and various series trucks in the Bank Job. Pretty mediocre movie otherwise.

[ollieskins]

Anaconda 3 not only has defender 110's but "the hoff" in it as well!

[midturtle]

I'm not sure if these were ever in the movies, but they deserve their lime light just because of the uniqueness factor...

Looks like the Defender is back in the new Jame Bond flick, Quantum of Solace. Too bad it gets blown up the first time you see it!

Also, there was a red '94 D90 in the show "The Sentinel" for the first 5 or 6 episodes Flipping through the channels, landed on the SciFi channel and saw the red D90. Just made the show interesting!

Sci fi- excellent! Keep your eyes peeled for Anaconda 3!

Anyone catch the D90 at the beginning of Extreme 4x4 today? Its good to see one make the show, even if it was just a quick glimpse.

Its not a D-90.. its a Suzuki Samarai..(SP) They built one one one of last years shows..

[JJB622]

Was browsing youtube when I saw a still shot of a familiar looking vehicle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za5D7wn2AKs&feature=channel
I hadn't heard of this rapper before but he has good taste in cars. The D90 wasn't really embraced by the rap community compared to Land Cruisers, Jeep Cherokees, and Monteros of the same vintage. Lil Kim does have one supposedly.

[RyanB16]

I am not sure if it has been mentioned yet but "Rendition" has a few with Reese Witherspoon. it was just on satelite a few nights ago. a 90 that the bad guys drive to blow shit up in. and a 110 later on towards the end. the 110 is actually on the cover. i just googled it.

[flippedrover]

Not a movie but last Sundays Family Guy Stewie was playing with a 110 just before he got beat up by a baby girl.

This may have been mentioned in this extensive thread already, but I stumbled across Jim Carrey's "Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls" last night.

Oh it was pretty real.
We built a total of 12 trucks in various states of crap for the movie. There were a few nice ones, but the majority were ratty stunt cars.

That Queen Elizabeth movie from two or so years ago has some nice shots of the Queen driving a D90 out on her grounds in the country. I think I remember seeing it in that thread listed above, but my favo(u)rite part is when she drives it out into a remote part of the grounds and stops by a stream while going through a rough patch in her life and just sits out in the middle of nowhere for awhile. I'm not doing the scene justice though.

[globallandrovers]

I just saw 'Anaconda 3' (there are actually 4 anaconda movies, if you can believe that) & it stars David Hasselhoff fighting terrible cgi anacondas. It also has a hot chick in a white tank top. Oh yeah, and it has plenty of 110 footage too. Highly recommended.

[tomaco1]

I was watching some cheezy Ed Burns movie about writers and spotted a D90.
The sad thing wasn't that I was watching a chick flick, it was that I spotted a D90 in the window reflection when they were window shopping!

So... not like I watch the Food Network all the time, but I do- so, who saw "Good Eats" with Alton Brown last week ( I think). He has a 94 D90 with supposedly some sort of diesel conversion and a tickford soft top. It was also conniston green with hard window tops.
