Whoa...a lot of these scenes are coming back to me now! Although most of the movies were less than memorable for the most part . I don't think I'll be running down to the rental store for any of them any time soon.

Good stuff all around. I had forgotten about Face and his C4, one of my favorite shows also. Of course, Magnum and his Ferrari and I think A.J. Simon from Simon and Simon drove a Z28...not sure about that though.

The new Knight Rider should have been a vette...probably wouldn't have made it any better of a show however.

One of the Fast and Furious movies had a C5 racing a Mustang (i believe) and they crashed.

True Lies also features a Corvette scene - again, not a very flattering one.

I agree, the Internet Movie Cars Database, IMCDB.org, is an incredible source of info for Corvettes (or any other vehicle,) found in TV and movies. You can search by vehicle or by specific show.

The scenes are rated by stars as follows:

***** The vehicle is part of the movie
**** Vehicle used a lot by a main character or for a long time
*** Vehicle used by a character or in a car chase
** Minor action vehicle or used in only a short scene
* Background vehicle

A cool site to show when our favorite cars appear on the big and small screen! Check it out ...

I saw a C1 in Animal House and I saw a silver C4 in a Bond movie I think it was a View to a Kill.

Sam Malone had a big block '67 on Cheers. Only shown on the show one time that I know of. It seems that it was in a magazine as well.

The Adventures of Ford Fairlane had two scenes involving some college kids and their Corvette. The Vette ended up getting blown-up by the bad guys. Even the Ford he drove didn't get spared in the movie.

Then, there's one of those "log on to this site to start your own business" get rich quick commercials where the one guy is seen getting into a silver C6 vert. That might not really count, but I just saw it about on TV about ten minutes ago.

Don't forget the movie "Stingray" from 1978. Was overshadowed by "Corvette Summer" which was released at the same time. "Stingray" featured a 1964 convertible running around the Missouri back roads.

Theres a silver C4 in the movie "Wanted" with Angelina Jolie, which she uses as a ramp.

It starred Martin Milner and Tod Stiles, then later George Maharis and Buz Murdock...probably before many of you were born...

I remember watching this show as a child. Remember the theme song? I believe Milner and Maharis were Todd and Buzz throughout the series. This is definitely where I got the car bug. Wish they would show it on one of the classic channels. I thought the luggage on the luggage rack was cool.

Speaking of which there is a movie with Asia Carrera, can't remember the name of it, that features a Yellow C5 and a gray C5 as well.
