Default C5 movie stars?

Don't know if this has been posted on before but I was out driving around today and started wondering which movies/scenes had C5's featured in them? Specifically, I wondered if the C5Z had made any cameos anywhere?

For that matter, can anyone name any movie scenes where any year vette is featured prominently? The only one that comes to mind is the Steven Seagal movie where he wrecks the red C4 vert trying to get away. Sad that that is the only movie that comes to mind .

Obviously, Corvette Summer with Mark Hamil would be on the list.

Feel free to post stills and youtube links.

Discuss!

Adam Sandler's "Mr. Deeds" has a bunch of red C5's towards the end of the movie.

And I think I remember seeing a yellow C5 in the last "Punisher" movie.

There was a Steven Seagal movie (Hard To Kill?) where he drove a Corvette around a parking lot, if I remember correctly. I've seen Corvettes in many TV shows as well.

In ConAir, a couple of Vettes are destroyed. Looks like the producer (Jerry Bruckheimer, I think) doesn't like them very much.

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

While not a C5, the "ROUTE 66" tv show (1960-1964) started it all years ago.
It starred Martin Milner and Tod Stiles, then later George Maharis and Buz Murdock...probably before many of you were born...

I think that was the first time I'd ever noticed the C5. I kept rewinding that scene in the parking lot and thinking, "Sexx on wheelss!!!!"

In TV, JAG had two Vettes featured - a C3 and a C5. Con Air had a C2 and a C4. Just a few of the many.

Gleaming the cube with Christian slater, a guy in a red C-4 lets him hang on to the car while chasing after the bad guys.

Kuffs the chief had a red C-4 that gets blown up.

The Super with Joe Pesci his Red C-4 gets stirpped outside of his apartements that he is forced to live in.
