Actually Kid Rock in Joe Dirt was driving a second gen Trans Am 10th anniversary edition, not a 3rd gen Camaro.

I don't know if this was mentioned or not, but they used third gens as stunt cars in Fear Factor. I lost a lot of respect for the show for that, haha

Big Trouble in Little China (1986): About 15 min. into the movie the bad guys use an 86 Red and Silver Trans Am as their getaway car. Don't worry, they don't trash it.
Knight Rider, season 3, Episode title :The ninteenth hole: KITT ends up drag racing a Camaro that's shown throughout most of the episode.

Same here but it is my girlfriend saying it. Even when I am driving I go oooooooh so sexy. Lol. Some girls don't understand men when it comes to cars. Eventhough my girlfriend knows cars but not the understanding between us men and cars.

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd Gen Camaros take part in!
I was flipping around the dial this afternoon when I came across a scene with a black 3rd Gen Camaro in "The Last of the Finest". Some crap cop movie with Brian Dennehy in it (who is also a POS IMO).

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd Gen Camaros take part in!
Well let's move this topic to this thread since some one doesn't like it on its own.
Went to see the new movie Rock of Ages today and since it is set in 1987, one of the greatest years ever after 1986, I tried to count how many times an IROC/Z28 showed up in the background. You would think one of the most icnonic cars of the 1980's would be more prominent, but no. I counted only 3 times a black IROC appeared driving around the streets of LA. A DeLorean got more face time than the Camaro. If any one sees this movie and finds more, let me know.
BTW For those of us who were alive in the '80s, the music is great. The dialog is a little hokey but your not seeing this movie for that. Your paying good money to hear some of the best music ever made. Oh yeah, is Rock of Ages any good? You bet. I loved it.

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd Gen Camaros take part in!
I know its not the most manly song out there but the video for "Call me, maybe" has a 2nd gen Z28 in it.
Like it or hate it, the video is cute... in a highschool girl sort of way.

It was okay, song sucked, girl was resorting to "suggestive" tactics to get the guy's attention, and the guy who owned the Z was gay (Lol literally), but the car looked sweet.

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd Gen Camaros take part in!
There is also a third gen in The Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge. It is right in the beginning during the opening credits. Look for it in the back left window of the bus around 2:17 maybe a little sooner. Also the song "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus refers to an a**hole driving an IROC. 2nd verse.

Also, in Lady Gaga's music video for her song "Marry the Night", she is on a third gen Trans Am/Firebird with other cars in flames around her.

I can't believe there hasn't been a good car movie with a nice third gen playing a major role and getting put through its paces. 80's American cars never got the attention they really deserved in film... at least the imports from that era had Initial D.

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd Gen Camaros take part in!
There was a trailer for a high school type show where this kids cool brother drove a red IROC vert. It was either Nikolodeon or MTV or similar. For the life of me I can't remember what it was called, but it was a weekly show. Can anyone help???
Really wished I'd recorded it...
