Come on guys admit it best Porker in all of Hollywood has to be Will Smiths Turbo 2 in Bad Boys, not enough scenes though.
Hey just purchased No Mans Land good film for the brand, but a bit 80's and cheesy.

There is a black (or was it red??) 911 (964??) featured in Cocks and Throbbers Driven by Detectivw Chief Inspector Lotter-Knob.

Can't think why I can't remember much about the car, but at least I did notice it.....

Hi,

Aussie film is called 'Freedom' guy steels a silver 930 then gives it a good rallying.

Black Porsche in Private Benjamin is another 930 with yellow lenses (it's on TV this week I think.)

Black 928 S2 in Wierd Science? does a good standing start.
There's another American film with a 928 called 'That was then, this is now' with Emilio Estevez in. Some guy sees an idling 928, hops in it and races up the road, handbrakes it 180 then parks next to the bemused owner.
However for best use of a Porsche in a 'film'? I'd say Escape from Stockholm! is a hands down winner.

Doesn't Axel Foley have a dust covered Speedster in Beverly Hills Cop?

Not the best - but worth a mention.

and I remember the black 911s in Condorman - I still have that on VHS somewhere!!

Robert Redfords Black 'T'?
mostly at the end of film, leaving CIA building,



IIRC exhaust note was dubbed from another model to satisfy, the directors perfect engine sound!


I remember reading somewhere that this car was actually a 912, not a 911. So it would have had a 1600 four-pot, which is probably why the director dubbed a different sound over the top.

I stand ready to be corrected.
