Wouldn't have thought the DB9 would be in Fast and Furious 6 (usually all American muscle cars and supertuned Japanese cars) but it's there in all original glory! It's great when you see your car on the big screen!!

Went and saw it last week with my 17 year old daughter and half the Norwich Ladies football team. On comes the AM and " way hay it's an Aston Martin....where's Tony " was the shout, at which point I sunk down in the seat! Such a quiet bunch nono

Having done stunt work on this movie (shot in Pinewood London), I can tell you that there were actually 2 DB9's (the one you see the bad guy driving and the other in his hideout (supposed to be the same one, but actually different).
And there's a DBS too (watch when the cars gather at the street race, the DBS is parked up on the street on the left...)
Oh and my Vantage was on-set but not in the film (not prestige enough for them...)

I saw that the bad guy was in a db9, but didn't notice his pipe and slippers.

Steve, what stuff were you doing? Did you meet any of the cast?

Was called in to do some fight choreography and doubling in final fights of the film. Yes met VD, PW and DJ. Very professional guys.

I haven't seen it, but judging by previous Fast and Furious films, they should have stopped after the first.

Yes for this film I was doing stunt work. My main work is an actor but on much smaller projects. There's a certain level of fame required to be an "actor" on these bigger films. As its names that help the film to sell.
Real actors are found in the theatre (or come from a theatre background).

Seems once you see the car on the big screen, it keeps on going. Was watching "what to expect when expecting" last night and again DB9 on screen!!!

U guys know Any other movies where the 9 pops up??? Previously only thought the DBS made it on screen with 007!
