trucks in movies part 6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dion · 07-22-2003, 03:39 PM

check out "The Getaway" with Steve McQueen, I don't think I've ever seen a movie with so many 67 72 chevy gmc trucks, tons everywhere.

"Take this Job and Shove it" has a cool 67 68 and a sweet mid 70's 4X4

I may have mentioned this one already, "The Driver" with Ryan Oneil has a few shots of 67 72 and one bad ass mid 70's step.

krazy_texan · 07-22-2003, 04:25 PM

well see i dont get it, for you fellas who have sat down and whatched the movie Sweet home Alabama, i am wondering, my name is Jake and i have a 71 chevy but how come i cant have a Gmc 4x4 like his and a girl like that.

Hooter · 07-22-2003, 05:43 PM

one thing I hate about sweet home alabama is the sound effect they used when the door shuts on the cab, Im sorry that is not the right 67-72 door latching sound. only people like us would notice anyways

1969 GMC · 07-22-2003, 06:09 PM

even tho that truck is a GMC 4x4, I like mine better because its stick, and doesn't have puke on the seat

DuckhunterInTN · 07-22-2003, 08:24 PM

I'd put up with the puke to have a drunk Reese Witherspoon in my truck...

I liked the fact that the truck was not some mint restored truck but a used and abused work truck...

The only part of the movie that bothered me was that the whole time that Jake and the yankee fella are driving in the truck the thing is in "Park"...look at the shots through the windshield...

krazy_texan · 07-22-2003, 09:23 PM

havnt noticed any of that stuff so i guess that i will whatch that movie tonight.

astaclam · 10-28-2003, 06:27 AM

Ooh, do you guys know the year that that truck was? The orange GMC 4x4 in Sweet Home Alabama?

SEVEND2 · 10-28-2003, 06:46 AM

Movie,Steel Magnolias my wife watched (chick flick), I caught a glimps of a blue or blue and white, 71/72 (side shot and front shot)

tom hand · 10-28-2003, 07:58 AM

Natasha Henstridge drives an 71/72 in Chilly Dogs

skyhawk1 · 10-28-2003, 08:01 AM

Anybody seen Lonestar State of Mind? Watched it on Direct TV a couple of nights ago. Earl drives a 72 lwb all during the movie. It's a pretty good movie also (funny)

fast67chevy2002 · 10-28-2003, 10:09 AM

If I remember right, I think there are quite a few in the begining of GOONIES, after the jail break, and "MA" takes the jeep on the beach.

dubie · 10-28-2003, 10:48 AM

Check out Matthew Good's new video Gravedigger. It has quite a few shots of a GMC . Just saw it last night. And the song is pretty damn good too

PR454SS · 10-28-2003, 10:53 AM

Ya at least in all those movies they don't beat them up like in Terminator 3, Arnold crashes a 4x4 into a building

doesn't appear to do a whole lot of damage though...

actually still looks better than some of my trucks

dion · 10-28-2003, 11:47 AM

I rent 70's movies all the time at this small mom and pop video store and there's pretty much at least 1 67-72 truck in almost every one.

check out

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 10-28-2003, 01:07 PM

Yeah, I saw Lonestar State of Mind. Pretty good movie and the truck didn't look too bad either, it really looked good at the end with the blonde driving!!

cwilli84 · 10-28-2003, 01:25 PM

Theres the rdaically altered 90's chevy pickup in Stallones Cobra too.

9teen69 · 10-28-2003, 02:51 PM

There's a green Blazer in the new RADIO movie driven by the asst coach.

**Canadian694x4** · 10-28-2003, 03:56 PM

Val Kilmar drives a really beat up 67 lwb Chevy in "Thunderheart"...

my new 72 · 10-28-2003, 04:16 PM

Hey Dubie, don't you mean Dave Mathews. He is the one who sings Gravedigger. "when you dig my grave, could you make it shallow, so that I can feel the rain.....Gravedigger" Is that the song?

CPNEJR · 10-28-2003, 04:40 PM

hey any of you guys seen Dazed and Confused? they have a nice black 72 with 454 it's awesome

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 10-28-2003, 06:27 PM

There is a '69 or '70 in the movie "Dragonfly" that the tribesmen drive.

dion · 10-28-2003, 11:10 PM

check out Walking Tall, he drives a 67-68 swb

Hooter · 10-29-2003, 01:54 AM

I always cry when I see ground hog day, even though the truck dont have a motor or tranny in it when it goes over the cliff

**Canadian694x4** · 10-29-2003, 07:52 PM

Hooter man I feel the same way.....oh, the humanity!
