Land Rovers in Film

[barney]

time to get your brains working.
let's see how many movies you can name that have landrovers in them.
try to get the movie name, not just the genre.
i'll get the ball rolling:
ace ventura- pet detective
tomb raider
the man with the golden gun
cliff hanger
the gods must be crazy.

next...................

[Mick-Kelly]

Some disney movie about a giant gorilla in Africa had a heap of old landys including forward controls. As well as the Goodies episode where they were hunting wild Rolf Harris's from the back of a series 3.

[Galv]

How about

Daktari
Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion
Blow Up
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Any Doctor Who episode that involves "UNIT"

[Goblin]

Dog soldiers had two Series landies.

Also not a movie but our own Dr. Harry Cooper from "Harry's practice" gets around in a Defender.

[tempestv8]

In the movie "Tailor of Panama", Geoffrey Rush was driving a Discovery Series II.

In the movie "Don't say a Word", Michael Douglas was driving a Discovery Series II.

In the movie "Traffic", there was a dark blue Disco II parked in front of the house where the school kids were doing drugs.

In the movie "Bend it like Beckham" there was a Discovery in the carpark of Heathrow airport.

In "Volcano" Tommy Lee Jones casted partner (Jacqueline Kim) was driving a Disco I.

In "Stepmom", there was a Disco I which I think Julia Roberts was driving.

In the original "Tombraider", there were a bunch of black Discos parked on the side of the road where Angelina Jolie was riding her black Triumph to the auction.

The list goes on and on and on! :wink:

[-Macca-]

I'm gonna upset everyone here.. I've got the biggest list so far!

[barney]

thanks macca. sort of kills the conversation doesn't it.
of course there's the 101 in three kings that was over dubbed with the sound of a diesel engine,
and there was the 101's with new futuristic bodies in judge dread.

But always worth picking them - a real brain-strain! 8)

Cheers

[fernockulated]

also spotted a nice red disco on all saints last nite :roll:

[DiscoTDI]

I hate to admit that I have seen this but there is one in Steve Irwins crocodile hunter movie :oops:, apart from that every single movie ever made in africa will have one in there somewhere

[mudmouse]

On a less serious note..

What film can you think of with a Land Rover (any type) in it?


1. Smiley gets a gun. (a SWB Series 1)

2. .........?

[mojo]

The gods must be crazy ...

[mrapocalypse]

The Bucket list. Two dudes in Africa.
Hotel Rowanda. UN Defers.
Constant Gardener. D2
Cliff hanger with Sly. He has a 109 Wagon.
Love Actually : Ryan Oneil has a D2
The Gods Must be Crazy. Famous S1
There are heaps!

[Lucas]

Cliff Hanger
OO7 - a few of the earlier ones and some of the later ones (one movie had them dressed to be Russian cars)
Red scorpion
Tomb raider

nuthin new under the sun eh?

[vnx205]

The most important one to know about is "The Gods must be Crazy".
The LR has a name (Beelzebub, I think) and a character of its own. For a significant part of the movie, the focus of attention is on the LR. Some of the funniest moments involve the LR. The scene at the gate with no dialogue surely rates up there with the very best silent movie comedy. Dare I suggest it almost steals the show?

If we are going to start name dropping, my Series III LWB appeared in the ABC mini-series "The Farm".

I was paid $50 for the privilege of having Greta Scacchi walk past it in the clearing sale scene.

I was so thrilled, I didn't wash it for a year after that.:p

Yup everything has been done before!

However the two movies with Land Rovers that make me laugh are: Ice Cold in Alex
633 Squadron
Both WWII movies. :D:D:D:D

As Ford spends more money on product placement than on good engineering it followed that Land Rovers started turning up in a lot of movies. I remember one recent one with Mike Douglas(Mr Zeta-Jones ;) ) and every time he came to a quick halt the tyres squealed even on the gravel :o :o maybe the ABS wasn't working :p

I watched the movie the queen you know the once centred around dianna

that was like heaven 130's 110's P38 hehehehehe that was the best part of the movie :)

[Fusion]

It's not a movie but an add . the latest redbull add is set in the outback and the cops are driving a defender ;)

[long stroke]

007 Casino Royal (several defenders at the start)

National Treasure 2 (speed chase in a rangie sport)

TIM

[solmanic]

Are we talking about all Landrovers (Range Rovers, Discoveries & Freelanders) or just series and Defenders?

Series IIa - Ace Ventura, When Nature Calls. Classic parking maneuvre where he barrels though the bush then takes off on a jump and lands between two other cars... "like a glove!"

YouTube - Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suH8Wx1_9I0)

Range Rovers - Ocean's Twelve - fleet of Full-fat Range Rovers comes to pick the crew up from an Italian prison. Couldn't find a clip sorry.

[Patto110]

:Rolling::Rolling::Rolling::Rolling::Rolling:

[BigJon]

Lord of War (Nicholas Cage). Watched it last night. Heaps of Defenders, driven by the good guys. 110 wagons and a 110 wellbody.

[JamesH]

Point Break, right at the end when Patrick is supposed to be at bells beach. has a nice 109 but it was obviously filmed in the US becasue although they had the ars on the correct side of the road, they were LHD.

[solmanic]

The most important one to know about is "The Gods must be Crazy".
The LR has a name (Beelzebub, I think)

Tha Landrover in "The Gods Must Be Crazy" was called The AntiChrist.

The Queen ( Defender broke down crossing a river while being driven by QE2)

[JamesH]

The Queen ( Defender broke down crossing a river while being driven by QE2)

I watched that film with some Landy people. We were outraged that the Defender stopped at that creek crossing. Barely a puddle. QE2 has had advanced driving techniques training too and she has her truckies ticket.

[markyc]

New (ish) Holeproof socks ad...

[markyc]

... and from Pom tv: Time Team (Fenders & Discos) every episode!

[RonMcGr]

There were a few in the movie "The Queen" :)

[LSBob]

Clockwork Orange it was supposed to be set in the future so in one scene the police were driving Range Rovers as even back then they knew that the RR would not change much.
Also the TV series before Primeaval where they were collecting prehistoric animals from the past through a time curtain and they used Land Rovers. One group of scenes was filmed in America as well as England as the Land Rover changed from LHD to RHD

[JamesH]

I just remembered Ewen MacGregor saying that he has a tricked up Defender when he was interviewed on Top Gear. He was seen driving this dark green or black Defender on "Long Way Down". had the licence plate EOM xxx.

There were some nice Series Landies in Hamish MacBeth.

Embarrassed to say screen Landy spotting has become an obsessive nerdy habit. And it's contagious! Friends who don't even like Land Rovers are now compulsive spotters. I'll get an SMS like "Nice Defender on Channel 7 news, right now"

:D:D I get the same thing sometimes. Nothing wrong with that at all.

[stevo68]

Well some of my ones have already been said...there was a D3 in last Mission Impossible and another movie recently with Sean Bean in it where they go around killing crims. Torchwood has the spacey looking RRS and the The Kingdom has RRS and RRC in it,

Regards

[HarlingtonStraker]

The Brittish Horror Movie "Dog Soldiers" I think the only Vehicles in it are
Series 2s and 3s.

Cracking good Thriller, but a gut wrenching scene when they blow up a series 3 to smitherines.

Fairly rescent movie, probably just left the new release weekly section.

I was close. On the right track anyway.:D

[foz.in.oz]

The film "Anger Management" with Jack Nicolson and Adam Sandler was full of Rangies. Nearly every scene on the road would have two or three of them driving behind.

[waynep]

In "Doc Martin" on ABC the cop drives a 2 door hardtop 110.( sounds like a TD5 )

[solmanic]

Point Break, right at the end when Patrick is supposed to be at bells beach. has a nice 109 but it was obviously filmed in the US becasue although they had the ars on the correct side of the road, they were LHD.

Not quite true - It's an 88

The (visible) cars were all RHD and on the correct (Left) side of the road. They even tried hard to pick beaten-up "Australian" looking vehicles to scatter along the street. The giveaway that it was not actually shot here was the pine trees and slightly over abundant "Torquay" "Bells Beach" signs stuck up everywhere. It distinctly looks like the northern California or Oregon coastline (minus the driftwood - for those who are familiar with that region).

YouTube - Point Break - Final Scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1ud7EnrZHQ)

[graceysdad]

Blood Diamond, plenty Landies in there and the Aussie movie The Odd Angy Shot got a few Army 2As and some Acco shots, the gods must be crazy is without doubt the best, the bit where he has to bail out to close a gate while shes tottling off down the track at idle, there is grounds for a budding young writer to come up with a bloody funny movie with this sort of stuff

[numpty]

Can't remember the name of the movie, had Roger Moore and Richard Burton in it, and a load of other Pommy luminaries. They were mercenaries, and there were a number of lightweights featured as well as RL Bedfords.

[Mud_Bogger6]

Ace Ventura When Nature calls has a line of Series'

[Trippo]

Born free(1965)/Living free(1972) = Elsa the lion stuff
Wheels Across a Wilderness (Leyland Brothers late 1960's I think)
These I remember seeing at the theatre as a youngster an probably introduced me to the versatility of 4wd vehicles.
I would have to agree that the best was the previously mentioned 'The God's Must be Crazy.' It covered all areas of off road work - hill climbs, the gate, river crossings and I've got to have a winch like it had = fully automatic.
Cheers Chris

[waynep]

The new series? In previous (2?) series it was a 90 :)...same green tho :D

Yes last series it was a 90 but in Saturday night's episode where the plumbers "borrowed" it to run tours with, it looked like a 110. Must admit I din't look that close I was looking at Louisa ;). Or maybe my TV was set to extra wide :D

[scrambler]

Aadman Animations new kid's show Shaun the Sheep. Series 2 SWB.

:D:D:D Got to agree with you movie critics that part of the film was soooooooo funny :D:D:D:D

[Sleepy]

I've watched a few movies lately featuring Land Rovers.

The God's Must be Crazy - Say no more, it's the star of the show.
Cliffhanger - Sylvestor Stallone drives up in a nice Series 3 - only good bit of the movie
They're a Weird Mob - Which stars a very nice Series 1 107 (Just like Ol'ute!)


Can you think of any more good Land Rover movies?

(They don't have to be good movies - Cliffhanger wasn't - I just watch it for the first 10 minutes)

[scarry]

Movies arent my go,but the latest James Bond movie was full of LR products.

In my opinion,the movie was a shocker,in fact the worst Bond movie i have ever seen:(

[crl]

In Quantum of Solace James Bond drove a Range Rover Sport whilst in Bolivia. In Casino Royale There were some Defenders in the African jungle as well as several Range Rovers in the car park of the country club James Bond visited in the Bahamas. The Living Daylights featured a British Army Land Rover in the opening sequence set on The Rock of Gibralter.

I seem to remember a number of black Range Rovers being used towards the end of Oceans 12 also, I think they were being driven by people posing as INTERPOL.

[long stroke]

ACE VENTURA-when nature calls!!
Afew series landys in this funny movie:lol2:

TIM.

[Sleepy]

National Treasure II - has a good chase scene with a RRS and also a cameo appearance of the back of a Series III.

[4wd4fun]

A couple of others Tomb Raider 110 ,Judge Dred 101 modified, James bond Octopusy Convertable RRC.

[kenleyfred]

The Living Daylights featured a British Army Land Rover in the opening sequence set on The Rock of Gibralter.

Watched that movie last night, I think it was that one, wasn't it annoying later in the movie when Bond and the girl are about to escape from that big plane by going out the back of it before it crashes. Our hero turns to the girl and shouts "Get in the Jeep "
It was a Land Rover.

Ice Cold in Alex from 1958. Awesome WWII drama set during the Western Desert Campaign.......Brit army vehicles were Series 1's, so techinically they wouldn't have been around in the early 40's!!

Four weddings and a Funeral...the Series 2 was the real star....

[Sleepy]

Maybe I should merge all the AULRO threads on this? :D

This all started because I was watching "They're a Weird Mob" which has a couple of scenes with Ed Devareaux driving around in a lovely old Grey 107 just like mine. (Proabably not that old in 1966;))It features in a about 4 or 5 scenes and looked very appropriate in the 1966 Sydney scenes.

Searched in aulro for "Land Rover Movies" and got about 6 pages - should have narrowed my search huh? I don't visit other fora.

I end up watching movies just because of the Land Rovers:D (SWMBO hates that!)

Sorry to flog a dead horse. As bushie mentioned, this will probably melt away as another movie thread.

Thanks for the links anyway - I should have looked harder. :(

[D3Jon]

Saw a documentary the other week on Shackleton's open boat journey and subsequent trek across South Georgia.

The TV crew started their re-enactment of the journey on the Falkland Isles, in Port Stanley. I have never seen so many Defenders in one place - In one segment, of 4 cars driving up a main road in the town, three of them were civilian Defenders! These cars were un-related to the filming, just people going about their daily routine.

The crew were in a Disco and there were parked Disco's and 'fenders everywhere. Landy heaven! I found myself saying "there's a Landy, there's another..." until my wife told me to shut up as I was spoiling the show. :D

Jon

[Bushie]

Cheetah Man - on 7 yesterday evening. The guy had a Landy badge on his jacket, but with (I think) "Sand Rover" on it. He was driving a mustard? colour 130. They were in Namibia, so I suppose it all fitted.


Martyn

[Grover-98]

Incredible mind blank at the moment but i certainly do get excited!

Only one which has come to me n this time of blank is... Unleashed... But that ends sadly as the Range Rover is rolled and destroyed :o

[spudboy]

What about "The Gods must be Crazy"? Must be over an hour of land rovers in that one.

[JDNSW]

Can We Help (ABC1 Friday 1830) last week had a segment on Campbell's Lake Eyre World Land Speed Record in the sixties - and guess what? Scenes are full of Series Landrovers as support vehicles.

The Green Zone has a 110 in it, also in the hands of the baddies, seems to be a common theme......

The TV series Dark Blue features a RRC

Cheers,

[clean32]

survivors has a puma and it broke down

[Mick_Marsh]

Mad Max III had 101's in it.

Fire Down Below (1957) (Rita Hayworth, Jack Lemmon, Robert Mitchum) had a red S1

and of course, that classic Aussie horror story. Jack Thompson's first film, Chipps Rafferty's last.
Wake in Fright
Chipps played the local policeman. He drove a SWB SII.

[chris_mack]

Green Street has a new Range Rover, Layer Cake has a bright yellow P38A, and a Td5 110 double cab, and Snatch has a RRC

[chris_mack]

Kingdom of Heaven. Gorgeous RRC gets blown up by the bad guys... :mad:

And sorry to mention the obvious - The Queen.

isnt kingdom of heaven about the medieval crusades? dunt think there was many cars about then!

[Landy Smurf]

i saw a movie last night werewolves it had 2 land rovers in it they both blow up but they both play important parts s2 i think

[ozscott]

Those funky little lithe people the Black Eyed Peas in the clip I've Got a Feeling (tonights going to be a good night) hop out of a D2 rect headlight hse...if you need an excuse to watch the clip again on that big screen it's not a bad one...

[Landy Smurf]

[easo]

Shaun the Sheep is a spin off charter from the Wallace and Gromit shows.

[d2dave]

Not a movie but an old tv show. Matlock police. It was on Win tv Mon nights at 2 am. When they had to do a search in the bush the police vehicle was a series three. In later episodes they switched to an FJ 40 toymotor.

Yes a cool chase scene where theres a 130 powering through a small village, Ive never seen a 130 drift till that film :)

[robbotd5]

The most important one to know about is "The Gods must be Crazy".
The LR has a name (Beelzebub, I think) and a character of its own. For a significant part of the movie, the focus of attention is on the LR. Some of the funniest moments involve the LR. The scene at the gate with no dialogue surely rates up there with the very best silent movie comedy. Dare I suggest it almost steals the show?
She was known as "the antichrist" and has "BC" number plates. When Andrew Stayn left the winch running and the Landy climbed the tree... Ai Ai Ai Ai Ai!!!!!!!
I LOVE that movie!!!!!
Regards
Robbo.

[Savanahkelpy]

The black and white movie, "A town like Alice', featuring Peter Finch and Virginia Mckenna, and a nice series 1 shorty, near the end of the movie, in Alice Springs.
Also a split second appearance of a Rover, (series2?), in ACDC,s video clip, "Its a long way to the top".

Movie: Never So Few (1959)

today on GEM this war movie was shown where Frank Sinatra, Gina Lollobrigida, Steve McQueen & Charles Bronson almost by themselves won the Burma War !!!!!

In one scene they stole a Nip S2 Land Rover and ran amok through an airbase blowing all the assets up

How do we know it was Nip? - it had a Jap flag painted on it of course!

How did we see it at night ? - the base lighting was very good I suppose

(well that's what happened in the movie!) ;)

naturally they knocked off all the Nips and won the war !!!

anyhow, Japs must have had a time machine I guess before the deLorean

[raffranky]

What about "The Gods must be Crazy"? Must be over an hour of land rovers in that one.

The Gods Must Be Crazy. Had me and a mate in stitches for hours. The Landrover is the star.

hmm... interesting - thanks

all the usual suspects are there .... but

difficult to search on movie/series names - it appears to have left out a couple that come to immediately mind (JAG and Never So Few (1959)), I'll have to look for some of the other more unusual ones if I can recall them :)

Well being a lazy bugger I couldn't be stuffed trawling through pages to see if this one had been added to the list....

Saw one on Foxtel last night called, 'The last of the knuckle men'. It was made in 1979 and set in a mining town near Andamooka (SA). Anyway it features an ex-military 88 s2a in a fair few scenes, as well as a young Michael Caton.

Don't know if these have already been mentioned: George of the Jungle, The Odd Angry Shot.

I was told that there is a Land Rover in Zulu Dawn, in the background somewhere, but have not seen the movie since I was told this.

I know this has been covered before.

[Phideaux]

Land Rovers in film.
Tomorrow when the War Began: Land Rover is definitely the car the kids use to go for a weekend in Hell (which is a secret beauty-spot in the mountains). It's a 110, I think...

Also featured in the 1981 BBC TV series on 'Day of the Triffids' (which, diverting into movie critic mode, was vastly better than the 2009 version).

[BST4X4XFA]

I kow it not a movie, Heartbeat's (Old British cop show) got a couple series landies driving about.

Hi All

Not much of a movie buff, but that is a later series one LWB station wagon.
It has fully floating rear axles , a steel one hole radiator panel and a safari roof.

Did anyone mention the S1 '86 SWB HT in Across the top.

And dont forget the demise of a nice Range Rover in the Avengers, When Steed parked it across the top of the missile silo.

I saw it yesterday. I was thinking that if the movie started in 1971 when the landrover owning couple turned up, the series 3 looked very well worn for what would have been an almost new car. Plus I didn't think they had the burst proof doors with seperate locks that early on. I could be wrong though.

Great movie.

Great movie.

Saw the movie today, and I agree. Date specified as 1971, the Series 3 should have looked almost new (underneath the dust), especially when they first arrived in Dampier, and it did not. A 2a would have been more convincing. I did not notice the door locks, unfortunately. Also worth noting that in 1971, a new Series 3 probably would have had seat belts.

Worth seeing, as much for the depiction of the area and times as for the story.

[bell1975]

The Bowler Wildcat (Defender heritage somewhere in there?) was shown in the final episode of season 17 of Top Gear this week. Have a look on Youtube as someone may have uploaded just this section.

It was a story about a few former British soldiers who happen to be amputees and the challenge they are embarking upon to do the 2012 Dakar Rally. It's worth watching IMO.

[86mud]

I watched Fast Five the other night (Vin Diesel, The Rock) and there is a an absoulte beast of truck at the beginning of the movie which I think use to be a 101 FC albiet highly modified including coil overs...

Will have to watch it again to confirm.

I've only watched it seven or eight times, my Grandparents had it and as kids we always begged to watch it...maybe that's where the love of Series came from although it's not exactly the best advertisment for them.

Driving from Vic up to Sydney at the start of the year with no handbrake and having to start the engine by opening the bonnet and shorting the starter out (Solenoid not working) reminded me of this film...stalling at traffic lights on a hill proved interesting too :o

And there's a third one? If you could call it by the same name...

The "River Cottage" series on the BBC has a lot of Land Rover shots in it. It's a doco about a guy who leaves London to become a smallholder in Dorset.

When he started years ago, he was driving around in an old series 3 lightweight... he has since "upgraded" to a defender 90 rag top. Not sure what it is now though...

[aew849]

Hamish McBeth's police car was a battered Series 3 88" hard top....

Sylvester Stallone drives into the movie Cliffhanger in a Series 3 109" wagon.

Four Weddings and a Funeral....the dodgy wealthy aristcrat (Tom??) who ends up with his cousin...does the funniest speech....drives them about in a Series 3 SWB.

In Croc Dundee 2 Where they go to "belanga Mick" the window of the shack is a series 1 windscreen

In escape from LA with Kurt Russel there is a series 1 rangie...........

Can't wait for the new 007 film.

I think we are going to see a fair bit of the Defender in the new ABC series "Death in Paradise"( Sat 7:30pm). According to the first episode, it is the only police vehicle on the island (apart from the motorcycle and side car).

[landrover dave]

Featuring HUE 166 being dismantled by Mike Bishop aka 260AC


Coast on SBS tonight did a short segment on the origin of the Land Rover and Maurice Wilks.


Cheers, Mick.

One of the Underworld movies had a Rangie classic in it. They ussed it in a chase cant remember if it got blown up or destroyed.
And not to forget the 101's used in Stallones movie Judge Dread

Just saw the new Bond trailer, saw a flash of a defender in a chase sequence.

Any one watching "The Aussie Way Up" on National Geographic?

Basically four blokes trying to tour the outback in a 130 running it only on canola oil or any other bio fuel they can find and use. Watching it now and they have run out of fuel and are using camels to haul the defender back to civilization.

Go have a look.

Might have already been mentioned, but the new Expendables movie has 3 AWESOME decked out landies in the first scene. Excellent movie for those who enjoy mindless action also.

The September 2012 edition of Land Rover World has an article on those Defenders -

Expendable Defenders
Not only does Expendables 2 have the potential to be the biggest movie of the year, if not the decade but it also features a handful of very special Defenders that were built in Scotland then driven to near destruction on the film set in Bulgaria. Simon WH visited PortalRover in Inverness to get the full story.

Just stumbled across this. Looks like they have a portable refinery of sorts in their trailer with heating elements to clean it all up.
