Ever notice how many Mercedes are in Movies/ TV shows?
 

For the past couple nights the kids have been out of the house and my wife and I have watched a couple movies each night and I can not believe how many Mercedes are used in each movie. We watched Crash, Big Fish, Miami Vice, Gone in Sixty Seconds and National Tresure 2 Book of Secrets. I have found this site that has all the movies and and all the cars that are in them www.imcdb.org
Does anyone know anyother movies/tv shows that have a lot of Mercedes?

I like trivia about cars in movies.

The black S-Class that was blown up in "Michael Clayton" was the same one from "The Devil Wears Prada."

Really? I didnt know that. The devil wears prada? Isnt that one of those girl movies?

TV series "Dallas". "JR Ewing" always had a Mercedes S-Class from 1978-1985. I think from 1986+ he drove a Cadillac Allante'. :cool:

"Sue Ellen" had a 300 wagon from about 1981-83, then a S-Class coupe from 1984-88 when she left the show.
"Bobby" most always had a Mercedes SL convertible. Red w/chocolate interior.

If I recall, there were very few episodes where there was not a Mercedes. I recall one episode in the early 80s where "Sue Ellen" flipped JR's Mercedes. She pulled out in a brand new early 80s 380SEL W126, but the car that actually ended up crashing was a late W116, like a 79-80 SWB S-Class. Of course they were not going to crash a brand new Mercedes, but even a 79-80 S-Class was a super nice car in the early 80s.;)

I have always watched The Sopranos. Being Italian and all and there is usually an S500, SL600 and in one episode the mob steals a SL55 AMG to sell over in Italy. I found this on IMCDB.ORG I am now on that site all the time.

The W123 and W126 seem to be the most popular.

As to why, because they are nice cars.

Yes I have noticed that. Especially in movies set in Europe. Also there are W202 and W210 in a lot of 90's movies.

James Bond movies have a lot of nice Mercedes in them. In a lot of anime they drive Mercedes, Black Lagoon is nothing but. Death Note was full of big Lexus, and Blood+ had a strong W126 showing.

My daughter was just telling me about "Scary Movie" that there is a rapper buy who was a nice W220 S500.

I am sitting on the couch posting this, and watching Tomorrow Never Dies.





In the scene where they were in the car park, they had several W126s.

On a side note, I saw a crazy hot girl drivng a black W140 S500 today. I tried to get her attention. My kind of women, good taste in cars.:D

Its not a Mercedes, but the Transporter really showcased one of BMW's finest cars. I really think the new 7 is a step backwards from these cars. BMW had it perfect, than changed it simply for the sake of change.

Yes I think I know that scene. I love that tan SEC.

This one is the real orange county

Great memory on the SEC.



Looked great in Euro Dress.




And yes, the E38 7 series was one of the best looking cars ever.



One day, there will be a black E38 750iL in my stable.... With a mechanic.... And a blank check....

I actually like the look of the older 7 Series better then the new ones. Like the ones pictured above in the ransporter movie.
