Just watched another movie with a cruiser in it (a walk to remember) I think I have seen probably more than a dozen movies with cruisers in them. One actually bugged me a little cause the Kid kept calling it a jeep. I think it was called midnight madness( my girfriend makes me watch some horrible movies). what movies have you guys seen with cruisers in 'em?

THERE IS A 45 IN "PROOF OF LIFE" [GOOD MOVIE] FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS. I KNOW I'VE SEEN ANOTHER BUT CANT THINK OF IT.

Crocodile Dundee 2 has an FJ40 and 45

criters 2 has a fj40 and it survives a huge explosion (no supirise there)

saw one in an outback commercial.... that's like a movie, right?

:D

was suckered into watching "a walk to remember" when i saw the 40 i thought that maybe it would turn out to be a good show. i was wrong, the show was pretty gay after that and the cruiser was only in it for about 30 seconds. that was the only redeeming factor in the show, and possibly that 30 seconds wasn't even worth the remaing 2 hours of hell. sorry for the review.

In the movie Bandits, billy bob's character steals and drives a perfect looking 60 series, and later as the camera is panning, you can see a 40 series breifly.

In the Crocidile Hunter, he drives a 70 series troop carrier.

I was watching some really stupid movie last night (like 2 am) with Sean Penn stuck in the desert, and he walks past a 40 series.

I'm sure I can think of more later.
My wife hates it.

In the opening scene of the original Gone In 60 Seconds, there's a totalled red 40 in the wrecking lot:(

SLOW BURN... also a good name on how you feel if you spent money to see it! :D Love Minnie Driver, not sure how she got into this one... FJ45 is in most of the movie, best if caught for free.

ohh also ther eis a 40 or 45 in MAD MAX. one of the opening scenes, when goose is eating at a restaurant and gets a radio call, he walks outside, and there's a 40 sitting in the parking lot. Australian cruiser!!

In the beginning of the movie Bats there's a nice 40 in for a few minutes.
another movie I can't remember the name of, it was a sequel, big android dude from outer space, with white hair, is chasing a couple thru africa.
in the car chase, hes driving a bigass mercedes flat deck truck, and the couple is driving a 45. they're in it for half the movie.
can't for the life of me remember the title, it was a pretty shitty movie.
and Im not sure of this one, but in Days of Thunder, the scene where they go to Robert Duvall's barn and workshop, they do an aerial zoom in thing, and there's what looks to be a modified 40 in front of the house.
and yes, they all think I'm weird for saying,"hey was that a cruiser?" and hitting rewind to check in the middle of a movie.
cheers,
ryan

Another 60 in Dante's Peak and some 40s in Romancing the Stone. We usually see a 40, 60, or 80 on our local nightly news at least once a week. No 55s or 45s that I can ever recall. My wife gets pretty embarrassed in the theatre as I usually yell out Cruiser and then the Series when I see it on the screen. Everyone sort of looks at us like we are crazy. But she does it too when we are driving around. It is a positive disease and I'm helping it spread.

In Jurassic Park III there are some cruisers in front of the control center.

There's also a Panasonic video camera commercial with a green 40 in it.

It's not a movie, but I was watching "History of the 4x4" on the History channel this weekend, and they showed some 40's out wheeling, but didn't include the Land Cruiser in the evolution of 4-Wheeling.
They talked about the Bantam, Willys-Overland, Jeep, Scout, Land Rover, Bronco, etc.

Bastages.

slow burn is a 55 not a 45. :D

my housemate has a porn movie with two landcruisers in it

pre 1976 landcruiser and a early FJ55

they are in a movie, with tia carrera, and its called search for the snow leopard

ive seen lots of others, most aussie movies, get a cruiser in there somewhere....:rolleyes: bit of an icon over here really

there is a movie, with a SICK modified cruiser in it, and its got two little girls and they try and get their parents back together...

double trouble?
PARENT TRAP maybe?

there is a FJ45 in Black Hawk Down where the helicopter is swarming around the people getting food.

There is a green 40 series in the movie INSIDER, when a masked Al Pacino is being driven to a Hezbollah leader, there is a green FJ40 driving behind him, Tub mounted machine gun and all!

Another one is in the movie THE PERFECT STORM, when the divorced guy drives around with his kid. It's driving behind their car and they are driving at night but you can clearly see the distingtive cruiser light's on the fender.

saw a Fj40 in the classic movie ORICA (sp?) when they are working down on the beach at night.

parent trap i think...DONT ASK!!! lol....but i think thats it i remember it too! yee haw!!:D

I don't know how I forgot but Lost Boys has a 55 in it.

In a movie called "Bravo Two Zero", it's about desert storm if i remeber correctly. Two British SAS commando's are captured and brought to a prison in a 45 Troopie, best damn part of the movie.

There's also a really bad movie starring Chuck Norris that shows FJ 25's and one or two FJ 40's. I think it's called Missing in Action or something like that

I've seen more but can't remember the titles.

Mark

I think "Shaggy DA" has a 40 in it.
I know its the guy who was in all those Disney movies that was driving it.......

Might have been "That Darn Cat", but I'm pretty sure it was Shaggy DA.....

Here's a tougher question:
Can you name an old BLACK & WHITE movie that has a Cruiser in it?

I just did.... :D

yes it was parent trap and it was a green fj 40 and it was an early model (round blinkers)

You guys are forgetting the best scene with a Cruiser in it. B movie from the early 1990s called "Revenge". Anyway, Keven Costner bangs Madeleine Stowe while driving in an FJ40 in the Mexican desert. Unfortunatly, the Cruiser blows up a short time later when the bad guys come.

Check HERE (http://www.clcc.org/clcc/LC-movie.asp) for more movies with Cruisers in them.

"razor back"! australian flick with a 45 pickup in a lot of scenes. one pretty cool high speed turn in the 45 and it gets up on 2 wheels on a dirt road. pretty crummy horror flick besides that but have a beer with a couple of friends and check it out.:D

I was watching "Up the Creek" on UPN on Saturday (not much on at the hospital), and there was a 55 on most of the first half of the movie.

There's a hella clean long box 45 at Disneyland's California Adventure theme park right near the waterfall at the big ass innertube ride called Big Bear Rapids or some chit like that. My wife saw it first and knew I'd be spendin a little time tryin to figure how I could get it out of the park without anyone noticing me. Still workin on that one.:D

Is it the sea foam green FJ45 lwb?? I saw that at California Adventures and i was thinking the same thing :cool:

That's the one. All loaded up with rafting equipment. Clean tailgate and all.

if ya get a chance watch the History(or was it disco chanel) documenty on Black Hawk Down, MANY MANY Cruisers, they showed a close up of the front of a 40 that has a poka dot camo paint job. But the 2 hour show is packed full of 40/45/70's and a REAL good documentry!

Commercial on recently for Kohl's about half way thru they are loading a canoe or something ontop of a late model(blue) fj40.

Hanibal, there is a fj60/2

The Perfect Storm, headlights of a 40 in the rear view mirror

tons more I can't recall right now.

Stupid volcano movie?......the chick drives a 60.

not a movie but on discovery channel last week was a show on electric eels (sp) in venisuala ( sorry henry ) bj45 troopie , 2 45 p/u and a 40 at some outback camp .... guess who i thought of :rolleyes:

Not a movie, but the show Alias has a way hot chick that drives a 60 sometimes. Hot chicks and cruisers go together very well.

Oh, and here is the Disneyland 45:

'Dirty Deeds' has a 45 troopie in it. It's an Oz movie about organised crime in Sydney in the late 60's. Has John Goodman in it. They fly to some outback location to go pig shooting, and the troopie is at the airstrip. The movie is set in 1968 but the Troopie has a square bezel:rolleyes:

Has anyone mentioned 'Kangaroo Jack'. I havent actually seen the flick; only the shorts.

I volunteered to go with the wife and a couple of kids with no family life, to see Kangaroo Jack, she was kinda confused at me til the show started, crummy movie but lots of Cruisers!!

"little rascals" the one that was out a few years ago...there's a 40 carcass sitting under a treehouse.

Is that the one where the lady is in the desert looking for some odd treasure? The 55 ends up going off on its own power, without a driver?

Ah ha... I caught some of that on cable the other night, the only reason I kept going back was to see the 55... how old is that show? Looks like it was filmed in Southern Utah...

not very old, 2-3 years.

A sat thru a horid romance movie on the Romance Chanel last year.....only cause the lead drove a sweet hj47.....how sad is that?:flipoff2:

Really Gay movie, Jack Frost. But Henry Rollins drives a sweet FJ-40 in the snow in that movie.

In the newer Shaft movie People's is drivin a pimped out Lexus 80 series LC ;)

There is a 45 in Live From Bagdad. And I remember seeing an FJ40 in a car chase through the mountains in some action movie. It was army green, and in a line of j**ps. Might have been Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Yeah I thought that was weird seeing wrecked 40s on the property of a company that was "state of the art" everything. Would've been more believable if they were 80s piled up in that field :rolleyes:

hoe 'bout "all the right moves", tom cruise football movie. coach's wife drives a smurf blue 40.:D

If "Up the Creek" is the early 80s movie with Tim Mathesson, sort of a sequel to Animal House, their green FJ55 is sort of a major player in that film.

Also, one of the coolest Land Cruiser related films is another Aussie film in it with Bryan Brown (Tom Cruise's partner in Cocktail, the F/X movies from the 80s). He plays a sheriff in Wallabee (same town as crocadile dundee), but the movies sort of slow and a little depressing. Everyone drives a cruiser, 40, 60, 80, whatever and the plot revolves around them. Except they call them "Toyotas." Can't remember the name of the flick but good movie.

the new movie "the dancer upstairs" has a 55 in it.

can't think of the title, but there was a movie that had kim bassinger as the lead, filmed in africa, had 45s, 40s in it.

i do agree with someone above that "revenge" has the best cruiser content.
