And he asks if its FAST. Then he looks at a VW and he's a little older and asks if its safe, and he has a baby stapped to him.
Bamm!

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd gen camaros take part in!
-Black headlight pockets
-85-87 IROC wheels
-RS hood
-No spoiler
-Z28 grill
Plus I could be wrong, but the RS models didn't offer ground effects until 88, right? If it were an 88, the wheels would be wrong.
All of that being said, it still could be a conglomeration of parts, but everything screams 1985 California IROC to me.

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd gen camaros take part in!
I mentioned this in the firebird thread by accident and got yelled at by those bozos, but there was a movie called "Kuffs", one of the antagonists drives a high-rise z28. It's badass.

I also seen a damn good movie called "Heat". Not sure if mentioned, but there's a camaro that gets shot up in the crossfire =(

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd gen camaros take part in!
suprised no one mentioned a SUPER poplular movie in the day. "scarface". there is 82-83 sport coupe in the back ground parked on the side of the street when tony montana chases that cuban out into the miami main strip and pops a cap into his head in front of the public. fairly early into the movie. ist funny because the movie was made in 83, but based on 1980 lol.
and honestly i cant remember the name of the movie but im GUESSING its called miami blues or something (alec baldwin is in it) but this hooker he dates in the movie has an 85-89 red trans am. its seen alot through out the movie

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd gen camaros take part in!
The car's been discussed on many of 3rdgen places... I think it's actually an '85 IROC, NOT an RS. There was a special "California" 1985 IROC made. It was only offered in red or black with RS hood and NO rear spoiler. That would explain:
-Black headlight pockets
-85-87 IROC wheels
-RS hood
-No spoiler
-Z28 grill
Plus I could be wrong, but the RS models didn't offer ground effects until 88, right? If it were an 88, the wheels would be wrong.
All of that being said, it still could be a conglomeration of parts, but everything screams 1985 California IROC to me.

I yield to your superior knowledge. I was just guessing.

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd gen camaros take part in!
But back on topic, there's a red, z/28 I think it was, in X-Files: Fight the Future. It gets demolished when the building gets destroyed about halfway through the movie.

Noticed last night in Fast and Furious-latest one that came out in 09-that when he goes to the impound lot to find car(s) there is what looks like an 84. Shows from the top of the hood and it is white.

There is a Camaro waiting auction in the backround in an episode of Chasing Classic Cars. Looks like maybe an 87.

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd gen camaros take part in!
Also in "Fred The Movie" in the very beginning of the movie, there is a super clean black Camaro in Fred's drive way. I cant tell if its a IROC but it is nice.
Can be seen here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu6Vt...eature=related

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd gen camaros take part in!
Don't watch tv often but everytime I've ever seen Cops the opening scene always shows either a white thirdgen bird running on its rims or a 4th. Genner getting smashed. Saw a grey bird on that show they had pulled over for drugs that had the tops off.
There's a couple fbodys in Terminator 2 including a blue thirdgen bird that's driven by two guys Arnold smacks around. One got smashed up in the new terminator too.
White 3rd gen Camaro in a parking lot in Sling Blade, where he buys the French fried taters.
Anybody mention that horrible pos film Smokey and the Bandit 3? Drives and early thirdgen TransAm.
I'm sure a good ammount of you fellows are like me and point out everyone you see and annoy everybody el.se lol.

Also in the movie "They Live" (which is where the famous line 'I've come here to kick a** and chew bubblegum and I'm all out of bubblegum' comes from) you can see a third gen camaro as well as some second gen cars.

In the first fast and furious movie there's a third gen hood in the background when paul walker comes too after being dome rocked by the guy with the shot gun ( forgot his name ) keeps claiming he's a cop after he caught him sneaking out of a shop.

Re: Movies and Films which 3rd Gen Camaros take part in!
You all are going to fall out laughing at this, but one night I was watching a cheesy porno on the HBO channel and one of the girls hops into a FRESH looking red IROC and speeds off.
I think the name of it was, "Busty Cops: Protect and Serve"

This isn't about a 3rd gen starting in a movie or anything but has any notice that a 3rd gen camaro's and firebirds appear in the background of almost every movie... just an observation i've made while watching movies lately.
