2nd gen t/a spotted in movie..
« on: September 22, 2008, 11:27:12 AM »
I was flipping channels yesterday and I started watching "blue Thunder" the helicopter movie from 1983.  Low and behold(whose the guy from Jaws 1 and 2, (rob Schnieder???)  drives a 79-81 bandit style TA.  Thought I'd share, I always like seeing ta's in random movies.

That reminds me of a current commercial running (Rapsody??) where a kid's parents attempt to pick him up from school in their way out 80's garb and he's walking away fast ignoring them.  ;D

I think its the music, you can drive up in your T/A and listen to something you know recent-ish, and people would like it, the problem is no one in High School likes crew anymore... assuming they've even heard of them.

The T/A used in Blue Thunder was a '81 Turbo SE with WS6. Note the bird on the fuel door and the optional 15X8 Snowflake wheels.
