Land Rovers in Film

Sitting here in surgically imposed lockdown and I have found my old copy of what is possibly the funniest sequence of a Series ever filmed in "The Gods Must Be Crazy". Seen this at least a dozen times and it still gets me.

Hi,
That film was so good.
Cheers

Yes.

So how did that thing get up that tree?

Right now Ch 96 Rush is showing a Land Rover being modified by Goblin Works.

Yes, IIRC they were very popular in Iceland, especially the 90 s for the steep craggy landscape, due to the good approach, departure, and breakover angles. In winter the modified ones with wide tyres for travelling on snow and ice are used, called the "Super Defender ".

Today at 13h03 AEST on Ch 96 Rush in Outback Car Hunters they find and restore a 1958 Series I, which is eventually sold to a guy in England.

Also on the same channel at various times is Richard Hammond's Workshop in which he drives a Puma Defender.

Cant believe I started this discussion over 20 years ago and its still going.[happycry]
