Just Looking on This Site. Internet Movie Car DataBase
They List Nearly every car in every movie
Pontiac + Firebird + Trans Am
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?resultsStyle=asImages&sortBy=4&make=Pontiac&model=Firebird+Trans+Am&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on
-
Jeez thats a lot of movies!
The only movies I could think of was
Smokey and Bandit I,II,III
Kill Bill 2
Rockford Files
Night rider and Cannonball Run
-
its amazing - who researched all these?
like the 79 in Star Trek, voyage home, it was a only a background for a few seconds
regardless, everyone of these movies/tv shows have now become an instant classic :)
-
The 79 in the star trek, sure looks like an 80 Pace car. pull up the pic, its got a half black roof and rear bumper. Also the car in Chips and Corvette summer is the same one, but painted differently.
-
Wow I did not realize how many trans am were used in T.V. and the movies.
-
I don't know how accurate the year models are, since the one listed as a '77 in Sleepwalkers looks to be Martinique blue (a one-year only color in 1978) and has Fisher t-tops (not available until 1978).
-
I love that website, it's crazy how many T/A's made it to the big screen
-
My favorite one other than smokey and the bandit I. Has allways been the black bird on corvette summer
-
Wow I'm very glad they actually caught the one in Casino, good eye, I thought I was gonna have to add that to the list on here.
-
All the ones that are rated 3 stars or more, I have. I found this website a couple months and built my collection! lol
-
There's a 77 Formula in the movie "Meatballs" starring Bill Murray.
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_180676-Pontiac-Firebird-Formula-1977.html
There's also a 79 Trans Am in the 2002 tv Christmas movie "Mr. St. Nick" starring Kelsey Grammer.
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_91221-Pontiac-Firebird-Trans-Am-1979.html
If you narrow the search to just Firebirds, there's 22 pages of results!

I think they forgot the White 78 trans am in the music video Park Life
2 minute 50 sec in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSuHrTfcikU
See that gold mark 1 ford granada. That is the best the british car makers could do in the 70s.
The rubbish cars we had to put up with in the UK ! . Thats why i now only drive an american classic.
-
cool site. didn't see the 79 tata from joe dirt
-
that is an awsome site
-
Don't Forget about Rocky II. He drives a 79 TA
-
They missed the remake of "The Hitcher". It had a black 1979 SE.
-
cool site. didn't see the 79 tata from joe dirt
I watched Joe Dirt and lmao ,but don't recall seeing a T/A? I have to watch it again now
-
ITs actually shown twice. Kid Rock drives it.
-
Joe Dirt has the competition orange hemi, and Robbie aka kid rock looks to have the tata he keeps gunning the motor in a drift to throw gravel in little dirts hair. lol
-
a guy from work has a 3rd gen firebird, that he says was in bl stryker. does anybody remember that? it has a full custom body kit on it.
-
There is a TA in Hot Tub Time Machine and in Daywalkers They seem to be popin up every where now. With Hollywood remaking all these 80's movies classics I hope they don't ever get the idea of remaking Smokey and the Bandit, I mean they already hacked Gone in 60 Sec and Vanishing point.
-
Did anyone see "The Love Guru?" Instead of the normal firebird on the hood, there is a rooster. I was bored and watched it the other day. Don't watch it, total waste of time.
-
New movie coming out "Killers". Has a 79 T/A at 1:28 in the movie trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jUPUJ9vw20
-
And how many of these cars in these movies\series were killed :S
-
And did anyone notce that everyone was a Trans Am, even though some of them actually were base birds or Formula's?
-
Karen watched a chick flick the other night called Come Early Morning starring Ashley Judd.
It had a really nice stock 77 or 78 Black TA with T Tops..she thinks it was a 77 but cant remember what the interior looked like 8)
-
I think I saw a yellow 1979 ish TA blown up in Iron Man 2 yesterday
-
I just saw that today!!!
I hope your mistaken!!!
That would have been the bridge scene I bet?
-
I think I saw a yellow 1979 ish TA blown up in Iron Man 2 yesterday
I saw Iron Man 2 as well, but I'm pretty sure it was a Camaro, not a Firebird (either way ir's a little sad). It is the bridge scene.
Great movie. Fantastic sequel, BTW.
-
I just watched Daybreakers this weekend and they pull out a great looking gold and black '77/'78 Trans Am near the end of the movie. The guy starts out with an old Mustang and before we can even hear it start up, they shoot it up but in reserve, under a cover is the car of cars!
-
A new series on Fox I think it is called The Good Guys has a 79 in it. It comes on tomorrow after Idol looks really funny.
-
Saw a music video with a Y88 in it the other day. "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha
-
Yo Rich
The car used in the movie was in fact a Y88 rust bucket, done up a la hollywood style 8)
-
has anyone seen the pegasus motorcars pontiac firebird custom? a guy at work owns it and says it was in bl stryker and burt actually drove this car. its made out of an early 80's 3rd gen bird. all black with a wierd long nose and extremely wide body kit.
-
Help me with my old age memory, was there a scene in smokey and the bandit where a state trooper in a Trans am pulls up behind the bandit then he runs out of gas and drops out of the chase, I thought I remembered this but I bought the dvd and didn't see it, maybe I've watch too many car chases and got them mixed up?
-
in Daybreakers a 77/78 TA is a star

I've seen way to many as well - but the scene you may be thinking about (and i'm not too sure either) is from Cannon Ball Run where a firebird cop car chases the Lamborghini driven by the women and they floor it and leave the cop in their dust - looks like he runs out of gas compared to how fast they take off.

in Daybreakers a 77/78 TA is a star
It was probably a 78 because it had the Fisher top...not saying it was for sure but just saying probably was...lol
I just watched that movie last night and I'm not a fan of the shaker bird they used
-
I watched a new show called Rookie Blue and they were doing a prostitute scene and showed a car lot and it had a 79 - 81 Trans Am in it. Anybody else see it?
-
dont forget the beginning of thunderbolt and lightfoot when lightfoot(jeff bridges) steals a 73 trans am from a dealership and rescues thunderbolt(clint eastwood) from getting shot at the beginning of the movie. good flick!

-

blue thunder has an 81 turbo s/e
white men cant jump has and 81 turbo

-
Saw all the BIrds in the movies and shows on that site.But I didnt see the one that was in Short Circuit,when the robot takes apart that Trans Am.
If someone already posted this its because I didnt go through the whole thread. ;D
-
Shoot Em' Up with the T/A and goofy rear spoiler...
-
The pair of T/A s in Cannonball (1976). They were two red '73 Trans Ams with the funky blue and yello stripes. Both met unfortunate ends, :(
-
It's great that someone remembers the 79 TA in Rocky II. I am a 'Philly" guy that bought one of the 3 used in the movie. I purchased this in Nov 79 from the car dealer where Rocky purchased the car in the movie. I put thed car away in 1984 and only had it on the road again the summer of 88. I have often thought of selling it but my son has convinced me to keep it.
It's a good story on how I acquired it after the movie was completed.
I'm erxcited to finally be apart of a TA forum !
-
You should get Sylvester Stallone to sign the visor or something. So is it an automatic or 4 speed? That question lingers

BB79ta, Welcome aboard. Nice to have you here. Step over to the "Introduce yourself" thread and tell us more about you.

Rocky II TA
...answers to a few questions:
It is an automatic trans.
No T roofs
This is one of three used in the movie.
It was purchased from Adam Pontiac. The first two were sold.
There was no signature from Sly anywere on the vehichles. One of the TA's was in the news in the early 80's because the owner was able to get Sly to sign the title when he was in Atlantic city.
I heard an owner of one of these has posted a thread on another forum. I'am still looking for him/her. If you know this person, please hook me up.
Thanks
-
here is a link I found where ownership of one of the Rocky II cars is claimed, hope it helps, unless it is you of course

Wow that site is too cool, (reguardless if they made a few minor mistakes on the year, I know I don't care) I loved the Jason ALdean video "Johnny Cash'. I liked that song before I saw the video, just made it even better when I seen that the pontiac was a T/A... too cool. :)

Thanks for the info Solargold. It turns out is was me. The other forum did not have much activity and I lost interest.
I'll continue the search and hope the other two owners join this forum in the future.

I saw a show on TV, maybe Kill Bill, it was chapter nine, 2 karate girls fighting ( one had been buried alive and dug herself out) One was driving a 79/80 black on black TA with the tops off.

Yup :) Fortunately they didn't follow the original script, where they intende to flip it to it's destruction in the desert :O
Also, the woman who drove it in the movie got the car apparantly, but it now runs on alcohol, since she is a enviromentalist.
-
Hey guys, while we're on the subject of T/A s in the movies, here's a quick video I made of some of my favorites, hope you enjoy it.

I saw this movie during the summer, I dont know what its called but it has a white 76 400 4 speed ta in it, It was all about drugs, alcohol, teenagers, alcohol, and of course muscle cars. I MEAN there were so many muscle cars like everywhere. If you guys remember tell me. I know that in one scene the seniors hit his butt with a bat, and he was a baseball player. Zach that i one of the best trans am videos I have ever scene, it would be even better if you incoporated some parts where you could hear the v8

Watched it Sunday in fact, called Otis, about a serial killer to never got to go to prom so he keeps kidnapping girls and trying to make them into his Ex-girlfriend to go to prom with him.
Hes got a red 77-78, it had the low profile shaker but I'm pretty sure it had Fisher T-Tops.

There's a TATA in this Volkswagen commercial. When he's looking at the 2nd gen Camaro, you can see the TATA next to it in the background. I had seen the commercial a few times before, but hadn't noticed it until now!

Can't forget the 77/78 that Jan Michael Vincent and Burt Reynolds drove in Hooper. It's a cheesy movie, but I like it!
-
Just watched HERO with Cuba Gooding Jr and there is a silver t top with red interior and 7 inch snowflakes in one scene.
