Talking Diesel MBs in the movies and TV

I wanna know what MB diesels have been seen by forum members on TV and in the movies. So far, I've seen some black W126s on "CSI" driven by bad guys in the desert, one of them was a 300SD, although the 300SD was painted over, you could make out the turbodiesel badge (black smoke seen in the getaway scene). There was a champagne 300TD on "Simon and Simon" (taking off wide open from a parking space like so many early 80's TV show cars), and in a movie called "Eddie Macon's Run" I believe, there was a chase scene with a then brand new W126 (300SD I believe). It outran the LTD police car in a cemetery and on dirt roads (filmed in Laredo, TX). So, what have others seen?
