Jeeps in Movies

[TK421]

I was wondering if we can compile a list of Jeeps in movies. A few come to mind:

Jurassic Park - famous red vehicles with horrible square lights
Wild Thing - Mr Lombardo's yellow machine he loves to keep clean
Cars - Sarge was a Jeep!

There are many others, but I just thought I let you have a good think about this concept.

Post you pictures and lets create a real database, and don't forget to look at M.A.S.H. either!

The Goonies has a great chase at the beginning of the movie with an XJ getting caught up in a beach race with lots of monster style trucks, the XJ kicks them all :)

Anyway, I could cheat and name hundreds but I wont. Check this out instead. You can search for any type of vehicle. But hey, still post up your favourites :)

Just about every American show on television including Foxtel has a jeep in it somewhere .. we are constantly picking them out. We watch a couple of series on Hallmark and the main character in both of them drive a Jeep.

That's what I was going to say Maggie. I don't think I haven't watched an 80s or 90s American movie or TV show that didn't have a big old Cherokee in it.

If you see an XJ in a movie and it isn't the main stars car odds are it'll get destroyed..... Just watch for them :)

Watched a movie the other night called Smother, and it had a Jeep in it, can't remember what model though (not much help, I know)

[ACJ]

without a paddle has an old cherokee

[PONYKID]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqppCoS15_o at around the 33-34sec mark, is that an XJ? It goes by too quick for me to see.

EDIT: Ignore me, you get a good clear shot of the car at the 57sec mark! Should have watched the whole thing before asking!

[Splashdown]

What about the JK in Terminator Salvation!

[Oldboy]

didnt Jeep release a TJ called the tomb raider edition?

Another movie that has missed the list is "WILD THINGS" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Things) where Mr Lombardo, the main character in the movie (Matt Dillon) drives a yellow jeep. Anyone remember?

Just over the weekend, on Friday the 13th, you guessed it... ...we watched Friday the 13th - and I would hate to give away the punch line, but, the crazy woman that goes around killing everyone - drives a Jeep. I wonder if that goes to say something?
