Famous Maxima Sightings

hey guys,
im just sitting here, checking the org and watching tv. a movies on USA, with harrison ford and the guy from James Bond: Golden Eye, the evil guy he was 006. anyway, when the red van is trying to catchup with harison fords wife in the porsche you can see a Black 92-94 3rd Gen SE maxima. its in the middle lanes and is shown for maybe 5 seconds? heres how to tell, 1. its a maxima 2. it has foglights so its an SE 3. the middle of the grill has the hamburger nissan badge, not the one in the lower right hand corner saying "nissan"

just thought i'd let you guys know, maybe even start a thread telling what other movies or shows or anything has maximas in it i know there have been some smaller threads... just a thought

Ok the movie is called Patriot Games and its funny u spotted it cause I was just watching that movie the other day. The guy from goldeneye his name in that movie was Trevlan. Oh ya I didnt get to see the Max im gonna have to watch it again.

Quick question though u said that the Max was an SE because it had the grille that had the nissan hamburger logo in the middle. But dont get me wrong but doesnt the SE come with the grille that has the nissan logo on the bottom right?

I saw a GXE in the previews for the new movie for a kid that is a bear. I saw one on SPY TV one time. Everytime I see one I get pretty excited.

The actor's name is Sean Bean,

Chrome versus body colored grill. That is the easiest way to tell. You can also look at the window moldings, if they are chrome, it is a GXE.

I'll ask my apt-mate to borrow his digital video camera and make my own movie of 2k2 and 2k3 Nissans at Nissan Design Center here in San Diego. I should see if my gf wants to be an import model and spread herself over some unknown person's Nissan. I'll make sure she leaves butt and boob prints on the cars. lol.
