comanche in a movie

[Maveric]

Was flipping through the channels tonight, and on HBO theres a movie called "the big bounce" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315824/

and I shouted out "hey a comanche!" at the truck one of them was driving.

it looks like a later one from the early 90's but i can't tell, all the emblems and decals are gone, and they replaced the tailgate with something off of a ford? :nuts:

thought i'd point it out, anyone know who owns it? owned it? or any other movies that you can spot comanches in?

ironically jeep comanches are appearing in movies made in 2004, 12 years since the last one was made...

 

mmm i still love that truck...

 

jeep on fellow comanchians! :nuts:

[rockhardzj]

I love that movie.

Off the top of my head, there's one in "Sahara" and "War of the Worlds" and "Monster's Ball". And if you look closely at Sahara, that's not an MJ burning, but an XJ made up to look like the MJ that was used earlier.

[lostissues]

if I'm correct, and remember, in the movie evolution there is a scene where they are running through a parking lot heading into a mall and there is an XJ and behind it I'm pretty sure there is an MJ

Nobody ever says this.

 

Maximum Overdrive!

 

On the bridge scene, sitting in the cars that don't get crushed when the bridge lifts, is a 2wd 86. its blue. you can barely see it, but you can tell by the tailgate.

Well I think there were comanchees in at least half the John Wayne movies.....oh wait, not THOSE comanchees :oops:

wow.. man... just wow LOL

[Geonovast]

Yeah, in War of the Worlds, the white Comanche saved Tom Cruise's life...and he saved the world...so in a way, the manche saved the world!

Those Comanches weren't Comanches, anyway.

 

I used to spend time in Arizona, where the Navajo reservation is located. Many of John Wayne's early oaters were filmed in and around Monument Valley, which is mostly in northern Arizona. The "Comanches" were played by Navajos. At least they were really Native Americans, but it was amusing to hear "Comanches" speaking Navajo ... which is a totally unrelated linguistic group.

a girl once made me watch the musical "rent" over and over.. i only like a couple scenes, and thats cause theirs a manche parked on the street they live on

[whowey]

There is one right at the beginning of 'Small Soliders', the lead kid rides his bike past a really nice red one with a cap on it.

So I'm not the only one who thought so too... nice to hear that :D

another jeep i found, if yall want to see what my jeep looked like nearly new (except for the lack of camper window, and gold striping) theres a blue comanche in the movie 'absolute power' in the outdoor cafe scene in the backround you see it twice. looks like my jeep new! :D at least new for 96, anyway its cool to see a blue jeep similar to mine.

[CWLONGSHOT]

Although its not in a movie...it is on TV!!

 

on the SIFI channel, in one of there new adds for the channel. Some woman is trying to cross the road. But cars and trucks are racing by at break neck speeds. The light changes and presto all vehicles are stopped by here elevating them into the air. Lo and behold it looks just like a MJ Tow Truck front and center!!

 

Check it out!!

Sorry didn't want to start a new thread. On family guy episode 29 original air date 07/25/00(thank you DVR) at the very end as the credits roll there is a scene that is real life, with stewie(animated) with his thumb out and a black shortbed comanche rolls through with no tailgate. Had the laptop in front of me and had to post it up.

[Geonovast]

You must be watching adult swim.

 

I'll have to keep an eye on that. You sure it wasn't a dak?

[pilotblake]

Yes I am, and you made me rewind it back and replay it several times getting as close to the TV as possible :yes: . Stewie walks out, watches a compact drive by. Turns and takes a few more steps then turns around than the comanche rolls on through. No tailgate. Probably easier than trying to blur it out :dunno:

Go to the old yahoo site... I have it saved in the "files" section as a vid... Its def an MJ...

I love it

[Geonovast]

:wall:

 

I've seen that episode dozens of times. I cannot believe I never noticed.

 

But the bigger question... did they film that, or did they steal the clip from something?

 

I even have that episode on DVD. :doh:

[Automan2164]

Oh, and FWIW, while the girlfriend was doing her online driving school for a ticket, I heard her yell out "COMANCHE!!!"... Sure enough, there was a white MJ at the crossing vid she was watching... I have her trained on them now.

 

So if you do the online traffic school in IL, keep an eye out for that one...

[pilotblake]

Your driving school is online? :doh: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[Automan2164]

It was an option, but I would HIGHLY suggest you take the class version in person... The online stuff is timed, and drags on... really horrid videos... and it took her a couple days... The class is over in 4 hours...

 

AND you actually have to pay MORE to take the class online.
