Landy Films

[Vam]

After a Hobgoblin or three :twisted: my wonderful husband and I <hic> were watching the preview for "Layer Cake" in which a rather nice Defender was featured.

This was after we'd watched "Dirty War" in which we hoped the terrorist bomb was NOT in the white van parked next to the spotless Defender 90.

(We guessed it wouldn't be because the Landy was too new for the BBC to afford it.)

Anyway, it made us realise we play the "Land Rover Film Game" and scream "LAND ROVER!" whenever we see one in a film - its that bad the kids were disgusted when in the second Tomb Raider film, they realised she wasn't driving one (the cow!).

Anyway (again), we thought our favourite, ultimate, bestest Land Rover film EVER is...

DOG SOLDIERS!

Does anyone else do this, or are we just very, very sad? :?

Yes your very sad :lol:  :lol:  just like the rest of us :lol:  :lol:

Dog Soldiers top film.

[pritch]

Let's not forget Judge Dredd here.

I've actually seen one of the taxis from the film, and they're beasts.  Well, you can't really expect anything else from a vehicle based on a 101, can you?

[Landyrover]

I understand that many of the German 'armoured cars' that attacked the British Para's acroess the bridge at Arnhem in the film A Bridge Too Far were actually Series 3 109's... :shock:  8)

Cheers,

Nick

[Paul]

Is there any hope for us..?

My Son is worse than Me, If wile watching the TV
he spots one before me it makes his day..

Nearly had a crash last week due to the young lad,
Driving along and he spots a transporter lorry loaded
with Land Rovers... He shout out "look Dad loads of
Discovery's"... I looked over at them, looked back at
the road and the car in front had stoped.!!  :shock:

[strapping young lad]

that happened to me a few times in jersey cos there were quite a few modded landies over there and cos the roads were soo twisty you took your eye off for a second and the road finishes

 :roll:

Vam

The only reason I bought the DVD was to have a look at the 110. Imagine how upset I was, to wait nearly the whole film, to see a Jeep [-(
OK, OK, so Anglina, I watched it for her too 8)

Ollie

[SteveH]

And Bad Boys II of course, 101 and a 109  :)

[strapping young lad]

anyone seen the advert for Layer Cake?

not the preview type one but a poster?

the one in nuts magazine has a P38a in it as the ad!

[kevbutty]

I can go one better than that Pritch   I've actually driven one of those Taxi's out of the Drudge dread film   :!:

The garage where I work used to own one for 'promotional' purposes . It was a pig to drive with just a small tinted window to look through and to get in you either climbed in through a hole in the floor or roof  :o  It wasn't road legal so we had to trailer it everywhere.

I think they paid over 7 grand for it and is was a piece of junk

[SHERMAN TANK]

they weren't in any film but only the yanks could do this to a disco

[SHERMAN TANK]

HA HA HA!!!!!!!!! :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

[Pete5844]

How about "The Landy That Time Forgot".I'm already sorry I posted this.this. :lol:

[Bush Tucker Man]

James Bond films must be amongst the most prolific users of LR products, examples;
'Living Daylights'? (Timothy Dalton) had the skydiving 90

'The World Is Not Enough'
NAS 90's for King Petroleum
Range Rover 6-door stretch (with unuseable centre doors - seats turned round to suit the script)

The Avengers (& New) also had a variety of Range Rovers from time to time, as well as the gorgeous Bentleys & the XJ12Coupe (& the gorgeous Tara King)

I haven't seen it
I've seen the publicity photos of the bikini & silvery jump suit :shock:  :D

[Vam]

He he, glad to know we're not the only sad gits and we keep good company! :lol:  :lol:

How cool would that be to drive one of the Judge Dredd vechicals! :mrgreen: ...  Still smarting over that fillm TBH - was a massive 2000AD Fan in my youth...

We saw one of the Lara Croft edition Landies, was awesome. But Impractical, I'd never dare go 4x4'ing in it, and would constantly nag the kids about crisp packets/mud I'd be too precious with it, rather than enjoy driving it!

Dog soldiers is one of my Favourite films.
