In The Movie Shaft (with Samuel L. Jackson)

I noticed something.  18 minutes and 41 seconds into the movie, Shaft is chasing a Hispanic guy who's wearing a red, long-sleeved shirt.  When Shaft comes running out of a building, the guys friends throw a trash can at Shaft.  He ducks the can and it breaks out the window of a mint, burgundy-colored 87/88 Cougar that's parked on the street.  When the Hispanic guy and Shaft run across the street, they run past another mint 87/88 Cougar (dark grey in color). 

This forum is a bad influence on me.  What normal person would notice something like that?  :P

It's actually a white one (or gray, or silver..or..or..something).. and judging by the lack of chrome around the window molding, it was a Sport. F'n bastids.

There's some ancient threads/posts about movie Foxes (not Megan Fox, but if you have pics of her I'll look...lol) scattered here and there about this mighty place.

I recall a blue Tbird in a movie, but for the life of me, can't recall the name of it right now.

Its crazy the cars they demolish for movies out in Cali.  I wish they would bring all their rust free cars out here and in return take all our rust buckets back ou there to shoot up, crash, or blow up.

There was an 87-88 T-Bird on CSI that got taken out by a roller coaster. It sucks, you all excited to see one of our cars on TV or in a movie just to see it get destroyed.

I was just watching this week's episode of "The Big C" and saw a black 87/88 T Bird at the very end of the episode.
