MOPARs have had a big showing in the movies and TV. The General Lee, Christine, the Challenger from Vanishing point.
We get to be the bad guys in movies alot too, The bad guys in Bullit had a black charger which obviously had the ability to leave the mustang in the dust whenever it wanted to.
Not just run of the mill bad guy cars though, Evil demonic monster cars too. Christine, and the black charger that chases the schoolbus in that one B-flick, the Car from the Fantasym series.
Hahaha, We get Christine and the General Lee. Gm gets That stupid talking Fireturd from Nightrider and the A-Teams van. Ford gets Cooters tow truck and a red and white Torino....LOL
I know there are a few more, I just can't remember them off the top of my head.

Thumbs up

The movie Joe Dirt has a superbird clone in it. Looks pretty sad but neat at the same time. This car is actually for sale on e-bay.
The Green Hornet drove a mopar also(for all of you old enough to remember this show) I think it was a customized Imperial.
Nash Bridges drives a Cuda.
The original Beverly Hillbillies show was always great to watch for the mopars in it.

Biggrin Movie Cars!

I liked the Charger in Blade and I'm glad they decided not to total it like some of the other movie/TV cars!

see, I completely forgot about Green Hornets car. The charger in Blade was mean looking but they shouldn't have done that stupid fast forward effect when the car was being driven.

They have the Challenger from Vanishing point in the Muscle Car museum in Sevierville Tenn. They also had a replica of the General Lee for a while and I talked to a guy a while back who has a Chareger dressed up like the General Lee, has a 440 Anyways, wasn't Daisy's car before the Jeep, a mid 70s RoadRunner or something along those lines? I was watching a movie on USA a while back that had a CHarger DAytona or or the plymouth equivelant a while back, I hope it was a replica since it got flipped and totaled though. There is also the charger in Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, and not nostalgic, but the Ram in twister was pretty nice. I'll try to think of more
