Famous 80s Cars

Magnum PI Ferrari
Magnum PI Ferrari (308 GTB)

The 80's had the flashiest cars of all time.
They were in the movies, on the TV, in video games, and in our dreams.

Gullwing doors, racing vents, targa tops, huge spoilers.

Yes, every over-the-top design was put into action.

EVERYONE had their favorite.
Was it a Ferrari Testarossa? The Back to the Future Delorean? KITT?

Heres a few gems:

Tango & Cash

April 28th 2008 00:34
tango & cash

Ah, yes.
Last night I had the opportunity to watch the late 80's classic buddy movie Tango & Cash (not to be confused with the dog-buddy flick Turner & Hooch ). I say classic very loosely...

What a great concept. Get two of the biggest action stars of the day. Sly Stallone and Kurt Russel (Kurt's part was originally cast for Patrick Swayze, but he left to finish making...Roadhouse) and put them in a big budget Lethal Weapon-ish action/one-liner comedy.
Gold.
Well, not actually.

big jaw
The movie starts off strong with a complete re-enactment of Jackie Chan's Police Story. Sly even asked Jackie if he could steal the 'truck shooting' scene, and Jackie agreed...like he had a choice.

Sly took control of many aspects of the film, including the firing of the cinematographer - because he didn't like the lighting he was being captured in...

The actual director even left for unknown reasons (looking at you Sly!), it was toward the end of filming, and I assume the last acion sequence was done by the second director, because it is baaad.

The movie was actually doing fairly well for its type up to this point.
Then they acquired some-kind of super-SUV military mobile. I can take that to a certain degree. The were in the force and they went down to the special weapons factory where their mate was making some crazy ass weapons - hey, it was the 80's.

But when they went to get Jack Palance, all of a sudden he had his own Mad Max army waiting for them!
Yes, we are talking pick-up's with roof mounted rocket-launchers, cars with rail guns, and monster-trucks!
This was such a bizarre scene to me. Obviously back in the 80's I wouldn't have even noticed it, because that kind of crazy stuff always happened.

But seriously, it was in L.A. and explosions were going off everywhere. Even after the fighting had finished, all these random explosions were going off in the background.

However, it did have a few good scenes.
Like the boys escaping from jail, and sliding down the power lines in the rain.
The young and beautiful Teri Hatcher (Tango's sister) massaging Cash on the couch while Tango listened in and thought something else was going on...
I won't even mention Teri Hatcher's dance scene (LOL), but Kurt Russel in full drag...
and two of the most famous 'baddies' of the time.
First the guy with the ponytail and the terrible British-accent, and the classic jail thug with the HUGE jaw and chin.

Yep, it was a real Lethal Weapon rip (even including an industrial electrocution torture), but it was some good buddy action...for a while.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything.

People have asked me a few time (I don't know why, because I don't even have it) about using image frames in your main page, such as ZCars etc.

I wouldn't mind knowing myself....

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

April 9th 2008 02:18
TMNT

Martial arts and Ninja mania swept the world during the 80’s due to the popularity of Kung Fu Theater and ninja movies (American Ninja etc.). The Karate Kid became a blockbuster hit film, and raised interest in the arts. The cartoon characters Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles became a widely mass-marketed pop culture phenomenon in the late 1980s.

As stated above, the Ferrari Daytona Spyder 365 GTS/4 is certainly not an 80's car, and yes it was built on a Corvette chassis.

Enzo Ferrari sued the makers, and gave the show its famous Testerossa's for free!

No probs. I'm a big charger fan, so it wouldve been there otherwise.

Good to see you Miss Starr, I've always been huge Trans Am man myself, although these days I lean toward Camaro's

I didn't forget.
General Lee is a 1969 Charger mate.
Aint no 80s car.

Seinfeld cringe worthy???
Stick to (ugh) Friends then...

As for the Footy Show, I agree Sam is a goose, but am so sick of people whining about it.
The Herald sun had no less than 8 articles about it the other day! I'm definetly not reading this huge article as well.

If you don't like it - don't watch it!

on How do you feel about sleeze on Orble?

April 29th 2008 12:27
Not many seem too, but I completely agree Krystal.

It seems more and more display pictures, and titles on Orble are going this way.

We already have to deal with this on a constant basis everywhere else, and now Orble is no different, using sex to sell in every possible way. I'm so over it, we as a people have so little depth, don't we?

I've stopped clicking on the HOME page now, because I'm tired of reading and seeing sucker posts just wanting hits.
Welcome to mediocrity.

Right on bro, I like these reviews.
Huge sushi eater, but never been on the train.

I'm on my way...

Yeah, i think we're all aware of the 'limiting' sell Hazel, but when u offer something every single morning for the last 25 years I don't really think the limited time thing applies LOL.

People used to come in wanting cheeseburgers in the morning and big macs.
The problem is the demand is for the burgers.
And they don't won't 2 kitchens in there.
