In Menace II Society, the main characters steal, or attempt to steal, a Black 3rd gen with aftermarket rims.

If anybody in here has seen Menace II Society and has a 3rd gen, you'll notice that th horn starts honking when they break into it as a result of the security system, but has anyone noticed that the sound of that horn is nothing like a Maxima's horn?

Re: That new movie comming out

The 3rd gen eclipse is the star of the show from the trailer that I watched. The show looks all right but it doesn't compare to the car movies that they make in HKG. If you want to see a sample get the old Jackie Chan "Thunderbolt" movie to see some cars in action. Does anybody remember the car chase scenes in Miami Vice? It was cool when they had the white Ferrari Testarossa racing on the street against the Lamborghini.

Speaking of that movie...

Check this car out...

It's selling on ebay for $55,000. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...5&tc=photo6447
Anyone know of a Max that could take this car? (Over 570rwhp) hehe

The best has to be

Menace II Society.

The car has a cameo. It's not just background. Chauncy (Clifton Powell) even says, "Black Nissan Maxima..."



It's weird how good they thought the wheels looked. They could not have been bigger that 16's!

OT- The actor Robert Blake got arested going to his house in LA and the rolled his body guard on live tv and three cops in plain clothes got out of a pebble beige 4th gen w/ no lights and tinted windows and put him in the back of the Max. I thought this is signifigant for Max owners. Cops=Max drivers! Cool.

in the Mothman Prophecy, there is an emerald green 95-96 GLE that turns onto the road and you can see it's tails. i think it has a gold package. i whispered kind of loudly to my g/f that it was a maxima and she kind of looked at me like i'm out of my mind.

Not a Maxima, but caught me off guard when Al Pacino goes racing down the highway in "Heat" in a J30. and in the Movie "Thinner" the main guy drives an old Q45.

Its CKY1, and in CKY2k with the baseball scene, you can see it in the background. I beleive this was either Brandon's or Jess's car. It can also be seen in a skating part too. They even had clears on it!!
