Peugeots in Movies


Recommended Posts

I recently saw Roman Polanski's first film, KNIFE IN THE WATER, and it has 403 sedan. It's neat because it is Europe somewhere, I am guessing Poland, and they talk a bit about the car, where a hitchhiker remarks that it's not often that he sees a nice car.

SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE has Cheech Marin joking about a lady's 505.

A French film, IRREVERSIBLE, has a 405 taxi. This movie is unrated, and I have to say, really "out there". Unbelievably violent, in fact, it has a scene that is the most violent scene I have ever experienced in a movie. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

RONIN has 405's, maybe more. Lots of good car chases.

NOTTING HILL has (I think) a 406 wagon. Chase scenes.

On tv, the episode "The Acupuncturist" from CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM (hbo) has a black 505 turbo.

There's a bad old German porno movie from around 1970 called "Blondie" and it has a cameo of a 404 Cabriolet, 67-68 model. It was about 30 years ago since I happened across that movie on late night TV in Calgary...

That car chase scene in "Ronin" with the Peugeot chasing the BMW is the best car chase scene in a movie period, its great no matter how many times I watch that movie.

Columbo drives an older Peugeot convertible. 403 i think?

The bad guy in the Jet Li movie "Kiss Of the Dragon" drives a Peugeot 607.

There are some more I am forgetting too....

I know Jim Morrison (lead singer of the Doors) rented a peugeot when he moved to Paris in 1971 (he had good taste).

There's a James Bond in which he's being chased by a bunch of 504 sedans - pretty cool. Cooler if I could remember the name of the movie though!

It was a Roger Moore one...

Damn....

If it comes to me I'll post back - hopefully someone else remembers...

I just saw The Whale and the Squid, and it stars a late 70's 504 diesel! It's pretty much the exact same car I had in high school, so I was quite happy. The film was good too, it's set in 1986, but 90's and newer cars somehow kept getting by.

Ronin: best car chase scene ever!
