Still more musclecars in movies and T.V......

Here's some more musclecars in movies and T.V. shows whether their was a chase or not.  # 1. "Faster"  Mean revenge tale starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton. The Rock shows some real acting chops playing a heartless career criminal, and the smokin' hot Carla Gugino is wasted as Billy Bob's partner. Two musclecars in here-a 1970 SS396 Chevelle with the round taillights of the '71-72 models in the bumper-Arrrgghh!!  And a Gold 1967 GTO with a Hurst Dual / Gate shifter that's in a flashback chase. Refreshing in the fact that every character in here is an asshole; there's no real "good guy" that's falsely accused or any of the other usual Hollywood dreck. Just a good old-fashioned Jim Thompson style  ( the Getaway, the Grifters, ) crime thriller with vile characters and the kill ratio of an arcade game.  Speaking of vile characters and arcade-game kill-ratios-that brings up  # 2. "Sons of Anarchy."  Often called by critics "The Sopranos with Harleys" -this excellent FX series chronicles the exploits of the "Sons of Anarchy" a Hell's Angels type motorcycle gang.  Ron Perlman drives a 1970 SS396 El Camino, while Maggie Siff-who plays Jax Teller's wife has a 1966 Olds 442. Real-life Hells Angel and movie tough-guy Chuck Zito-( he was in HBO's excellent prison drama "Oz",)  and is most famous for kicking Jean-Claude Van Damme's ass over a stripper in the now-defunct SCORES strip club in New York, has been guest-starring, and when he's not on a Harley, he's driving a red 1979 Trans-Am. # 3. "Lights Out".  This was another excellent FX series about a retired boxer who has to fight again because he's in tax trouble. I loved the show, Holt McCallany was excellent as the boxer, as was Stacy Keach as his father / manager, and he drove a 1971 SS454 Chevelle. The fight choreography was awesome, as were the storylines.  I have no Idea why it wasn't renewed for a 2nd season; the critics raved.  # 4. "Argo". Thriller about the 1979 Iranian Hostage crisis starring Ben Affleck. Ben drives a 1964 GTO, but sadly there's no car chase action.  # 5. "Memphis Beat." TNT network Cop show set in Memphis that's filmed in post-Katrina New Orleans. Wh0's idea was that?  Balding, skinny, Jason Lee ( "My Name is Earl" ) is unbeleivably annoying as an Elvis-impersonating detective. ( Kurt Russel, Don Johnson, and Andrew "Dice" Clay are the only actors who can do a decent impression of the King ) The fact that he drives a 1964 GTO can't save this train wreck. # 6. I'd almost forgotten "Demolition Man" until it was on cable this week. Action-comedy starring Sly Stallone, Sandra Bullock and Wesley Snipes about the future where were so politically correct that even swearing or eating high-cholesterol food is against the law. Lots of action and laughs-Bullock is especially funny flubbing catch-phrases, and Stallone having to correct her. Bullock after Sly opens a major can of whip ass in a fight- "You really licked his ass."  Sly-"KICKED his ass!!"  "You mean kicked his ass!"  Anyway-there's a chase with Sly and Sandra driving a 1970 W30 Olds 442 that they stole from a museum and Snipes driving a Smart-car looking thing that's pretty funny.  # 7. "Dark Blue"  TNT cop series Stars Dylan McDermott as the head of a rogue, undercover modern "Hat Squad" type L.A. P.D. unit. Much better than "Memphis Beat";-it's actually filmed in L.A., and Mc Dermott drives a black 2010 Hemi Challenger SRT8 that he smokes the tires on a lot, and when he's not doing that or shooting bad guys, he's having sex with the smokin' hot Tricia Helfer. ( Charlie's girlfriend Chelsea's roommate on "Two and a Half Men" that Charlie had a dream sequence of a threesome with Chelsea about-hilarious ). Tricia drives a bright blue Hemi Charger, so Mopar fans will really like this one. Hope it comes back for a 3rd season. Mastermind
