ironpig70 · 10-18-2004, 08:43 AM

last night i was watching the movie "the day after tommorrow" my first time watching and the wifes second. any how i'm like hey theres a cruiser. wifes like where. so i rewind it a bit and show her the red fj60. i know its sad but i'm affected with these sickness that must find all cruisers in ad, or movies or on the road for that matter.

we feel your pain.

jnau99 · 10-18-2004, 08:54 AM

See I have my girlfriend trying to call them out before me. I'm still up on her. And I was a little disapointed when I spotted a 45 SWB and she said "Thats a cruiser".

I think I paused the movie "Rundown" a few times to see the cruiser.

I feel your pain, now i'm going to go rent the "the day after tommrrow" thanks for the heads up.

ironpig70 · 10-18-2004, 12:09 PM

i know just due to the nature of american and foreign cruisers so i know 40, 45, 55, 60, 80, 100's i have yet to learn all the fine points. the best is my six year old who has learned(from whom i don't know) that cruisers where built to wheel and jeeps are for shopping

We were on the freeway, my wife was in labor & about to deliver our son and I missed the exit for the hospital checking out a nice FJ40 going the other way.

Landpimp · 10-18-2004, 05:13 PM

non US spec 60 series...........Connie noticed it a second before I did

it was in the 1st few minutes of the movie.

I have watched countless horible movies only because there was a Cruiser in it. the worst was a AUssie flix on the Romace Chanell........watched the whole sappy POS movie bacuase of the 45 trayback and 40's........

Cruiser Ken · 10-18-2004, 05:50 PM

Interestingly enough I was watching that same movie last night and caught the cruiser as well. Was only half paying attention but caught the distinctive rear vent.

RHINO · 10-18-2004, 06:40 PM

i dont know pimp i sat through a stupid river rafting comedy movie made in the 80's just to watch a green 55.

fj40_rico · 10-18-2004, 08:11 PM

heavytlc · 10-19-2004, 08:05 AM

When I brought the 55 home the girlfriend said "that is so cool, just like the cruiser in 50 first dates". Yeah I am teaching her well.

cruiserbrett · 10-19-2004, 08:42 AM

FJ55 in "Lost boys" too.

ironpig70 · 10-19-2004, 10:09 AM

the wife orderd net flix and wants to know what movies i want so i'll send her the list

HANGTOWNCRUZR · 10-19-2004, 02:05 PM

Every time my 8 year old daughter watches the movie Parent Trap (and it is often) she always calls me in the room to see the Land Cruiser scene which shows a great scene with a SO late model fj40 that has a great camping rack and even sounds like it has a 2F. They are leaving on a camping trip somewhere in the Napa, CA area, I have always thought that someone on the PBB would have more info.....

85toyboy · 10-19-2004, 08:52 PM

The best is hearing my 2 year old son say "Landcrooozer" everytime he sees my screen background. I've taught him well.

65SWB45 · 10-19-2004, 09:04 PM

And what about the Russ Meyer's film in which he is driving a 45 swb to a desert cabin rendezvous?
