Thread: P38 Mini Me's

Its a no brainer kinda movie. You go along for the ride.

I came to the conclusion there would have to be a car chase soon, and the P38 would surely get blown up. Alas no. It lived to fight another day. Yippee. Not sure why they would pick a P38 for an evil dictator (actually Ben Kingsley acting an an actor, acting as an evil dictator).

Are they gaining cult status (I know they already have in our minds)?

It's funny you should mention the appearance in movies. I think the majority of British police serials seem to have the bad guy (usually living in a country estate) driving a p38. They also appear in ads and on labels from time to time. Not sure what brand it was but the green heavy duty car wash had the p38 on the label. I'm sure you'll probably see lots in the latest Dianna movie as well .
