<movies> with Audis



     OK, here's a list of what we've got so far (with a few minor corrections):

        "The Living Daylights" - 007 drives a champagne Audi 200TQ seadn (smugg
les Kuskof to pipeline in it) at the begining, and then drives a 5000CSTQW late
r on when he is in the Middle East somewhere.  Bond only drives the best!

        "Ferris Beuhler's Day Off" - Yup, his dad drives a sweet Audi 5000CS tu
rbo is it.  I, unlike most of you, thought the car looked more burgundyish (was
definately a metallic) rather than a red.  Tornado red is not a metallic...I th
ink Ferris's dad's car was Maraschino Red, or something like that.

                  ....typical Audi driver (like me anyways), when he reaches in
to the glovebox to get some Tic Tacs and starts pulling out, almost in front of
 another person at a stop sighn.  The other person honks and alarms him, and th
en he kinda shrugs it off like he knew the guy and waved.  I thought that was p
retty funny.  Or, how bout when he gets behind that old lady....I think we've a
ll been there a few times.  ;)

        "Slacker" - aparently a red Audi GT drives by for a split second or som
ething.  Not even sure if it's worth mentioning, but I havent seen the movie.

  And here's a few I'd like to add:

        "Leathal Weapon 1" - Towards the end, Gary Busy, main bad guy, is tryin
g to get away from Mel, and winds up car jacking an Audi 5000CS turbo.  He runs
 by the car, opens the door, throws the guy out, and says "Mind if I take your
Audi for a test drive?"  And takes of with it.  You only see it for a few secon
ds, but I thought it was pretty cool.

        "License To Drive" - The mom in this movie has a Saphire Blue Audi 5000
S sedan.  The daughter, who passes her driving test with flying colors, gets to
take it out for the night.  She goes out with her boyfriend (a hippy type) and
they wind up getting caught in the middle of some protest.  The people start be
ating on the car, and later on you see the car on the back of a flat-bed tow tr
uck and being towed off....probably to the local Audi dealer!

                     ....the daughter's boyfriend makes a really good comment a
t one point in the movie (I can't remember exactly what he said...maybee someon
e on the list remembers) about the Audi being a symbol of capitalism and author
itative and suppressive ideals....or something like that.  ;)

       And, also, as someone already mentioned, Higgins on Magnum P.I. drove an
Audi 5000S, and Magum even drove it in a few episodes (a few where he'd injured
his leg, and one or two when he wrecked the Ferrari).  There don't seem to be m
any cameo appearances by Audi's in films and it's too bad!  Also, I remember a
few of Warren Miller's Extreme Skiing films that were sponsored by Audi (and mo
re or less for Audi Quattros).  Well, did I forget any??

                                                        Later,
                                                        Dan
