Has anyone ever seen 'Raising Helen'?

A movie with Kate Hudson and John Corbett? For turkey day we watched a whole bunch of movies and that one had the best and longest shot of an 88 xr7 I had ever seen! The whole frame was around the car, it was black with GFX. :grinno:
'Along came Polly' had a good shot of a red 87/88 cougar as well. Of course I have to own both of thoes movies now :wtf:

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I dont visit cougarnuts very often. Raising Helen is the only movie I have ever seen a cougar in and I didnt have to look for it, so I thought that was really cool.

By reading the cougarnuts post it almost sounds like they use the same cougar in all the movies!

There is also an '83 - '86 cougar in the first Fast and the furious, just before Paul Walker gets pulled over in the Ford Lightning, and there is also an '86 cougar in the second one, running in the derby.

The one in the first one is a white one on the side street just before he gets pulled over, it's only about a one second shot of it, but it's there. And the one in the second one gets a lil bit more movie time, its kinda a goldish color after tyrese wins the derby and gets out, they show a decent rear side angle shot of it, and they even left the third brake light in it, kinda as proof it's an '86.
