Favorite Bad Guy Car In A Movie Or Tv Show

Recommended Posts

I'll start it off with Corvette Summer (made in 1978). The BAD GUY (Wayne) drove a Black 1972 Pontiac Trans Am featuring a customized hood with both "Ram Air" scoops and "The Shaker". The Corvette :)

This car is classic American MUSCLE and a looker also, I included a video of the chase scene so have a look.

I thought of an even better one. the tanker truck from the 1971 movie Duel. if you ever saw this movie, you would be scared everytime you see a tanker truck on the road

every bad guy drives a 68 charger R/T ........................

Yes, the Bullitt Charger.. I always laughed at the suits driving it, not your typical Charger Owners..

Love this movie. That truck is just terrifying. I watch this movie whenever it comes on :)

Some great vehicles thus far.. I have more in mind...

Not sure if he is a proper bad guy or not, but anyone who cuts up a perfectly good Jaguar is a bit of a villain in my book: http://www.imcdb.org/images/006/262.jpg

The Jaguar custom Hearse from Harold and Maude is very cool looking, even if Harold did molest old ladies and Jaguars. Very naughty!

Agreed!!

Is MADMAX a bad guy? There is another BAD GUY car in that movie..... "The Nightrider"

For my Aussie friends or any who can remember, what is the name of the two cars driven by the Bad Guy in Shaker Run??

Video below, there is a black car then the bad guy gets into the race car.

Christine, another classic and great movie.

The CAR starring James Brolin, another car that scared me when I was young.

The black car I think is a Holden HQ Ute - just like toady had in neighbours B) as for the race car I'm torn between a MK 1 Capri or a Skoda Rapide - I dont normally get those 2 mixed up but both were popular in the early 80s as Thunder Saloons, those things were great, I remember seeing them rumble their way round Brands, leaving stripes of rubber as they accelerated out of druids - sorry wandered of topic there a bit....

Stop Press!

just found this http://www.imcdb.org/movie_90006-Shaker-Run.html

- It was a Capri!

And Wolfdog - I've been looking for that film for ages - it was a Herbie 'made for TV' and the evil Herbie was called Horace ;)

Thanks, that is cool looking Capri racecar..

Oh, 'The Dead Pool' Corvette RC was discussed in a thread about R/C on TV some time ago.

It does qualify as a bad guy car, just a small car B)

Lola T70 in Thx1138

(minus the addons) B)

So very seldom that a genuine race car is used in a film.

Plenty of cool cars in the Avengers and Italian job 70s years :D

Wasn't this a Good Guy Car? A nasty car is the Black 70 Chevy Nova in Death Proof driven by Kurt Russell.

Great call on the Nova from Death Proof, forgot about this.. Really good movie also.
