Do the doors come welded shut?

 

ford got away with a new model bullit. chevy got away with a new model SS. chrysler....NO. BAD CHRYSLER! THAT'S A BAD, BAD CHRYSLER!

 

There was a point in the Atlanta Journal Constitution about how one, the city or set they filmed in doesen't look anything like atlanta, and two, there is a scene in the movie where the flag is discussed.

Basically is said something along the lines of it emphasizing what a "Rebel" flag meant over the who historicism of the Confederacy. Which was nice and sugary, but I bought it.

Although I thought that every one knew the civil war had about ===> <==== this much to do with slavery anyway.

 

That's all I have to say.

 

It comes as no surprise that the idea was written on a napkin at a cocktail party -where they must have all been wasted beyond recognition. So they slap on a confederate flag and the numebrs "01" on the side then tack on a nice hefty $15k price for all that "work" they did to it huh? Stupidest car ever, the people who did this should take heed the next time they come up with some great idea while in a drunken stupor.

 

Yeah, it could be a little more orange, but I think it looks hot!

I like the front end!

 

On a side note, I just saw the movie last night. Other than killing no less than 5 Chargers at a minimum (if you go see it, wait for the scenes during the credits!!!), it was a cool movie, and exactly what I expected to see. Rednecks, muscle cars, a story line with holes you could drive a truck through, and Jessica Simpson's legs and, uhm, uh...

A fully gratifying experience

 

saw it last night too. felt just like watching the old show, but longer. if i'm not mistaken, they killed ALOT more than 5 chargers. i'd definetley recommend seeing it for a good laugh.

back to this thread... ...that is all

 

Oh, I have the distinct feeling they killed more than 5. I know they used up 10 doing Starsky and Hutch. Its just that, you actually witness 5 dying in the credits

 

Check out Hot Rod magazine for August...

A total of 26 units were consumed if memory serves correctly.
They had pics of all kinds of body panels, hoods, doors and the like that were all painted the same, sitting in a big warehouse waiting to be bolted on to replaced ruined ones. They basically had a full-blown body shop going all-out while shooting the car scenes - lots of pics in the mag article.

Most interesting deal of them all was a guy on the west coast that offered the prop-buyers his car for the sum of $1, and wanted a contract guaranteeing that he got the car back after production wrapped-up - REGARDLESS OF IT'S CONDITION. Since his car was in pretty good shape they used it for some of the close-up and background scenes, he lucked-out and got it back in good shape (with a few scratches and such).
Talk about a high-dollar car now?!?! I wonder if it's heading for E-bay soon...

 

Thanks for the tip...I'll check it out!
