The Last Ride. I bet most of you have not heard of this movie. In 2005, I was just browsing through the store one day and ran into this. Made it the year the new GTO came out. Its got like 3 movie stars in it, and made by Universal pictures, I assumed it would be good... and it is.

In the movie, "The Judge" and 2004 GTO.

[Pontiacgt201]

1967 Pontiac GTO from xXx

Smokey & the Bandit

1977 Pontiac Trans Am

I have the DVD in my video collection. The indoor car show scenes shows a bunch of classic Pontiacs in the background too. Some of them belong to Pontiac ad guru Jim Wangers plus a bunch of cars from the San Diego area Ponitac ethusiasts.

Any episode of Overhaulin' featuring a Pontiac Lemans, GTO, or Firebird.

Street Customs episode that took a 2006 GTO, cut the body off of it and grafted on a '69 GTO body onto it.

AJ Janic's new pro-touring '68 Firebird built by YearOne on an episode of Hot Rod TV.

The Tribute Trans Am being built on MuscleCar.

The LeMans built on MuscleCar.

Also in Smokey and the Bandit, Sheriff Buford T. Justice's trashed police cars, plus all the trashed Potniac cop cars in Smokey and the Bandit II.

Every hear of "Pontiac Moon", starring Ted Danson? It features a '49 Pontiac with a straight eight.

You forgot another Burt Reynolds classic Pontiac. Remember the rocket/stunt car Trans Am at the end of "Hooper"?

The 1979 Trans Am cop car in Cannon Ball Run chasing down the Lambo?

The GTO in Two Lane Blacktop

Lemans used in the chase scene of the French Connection

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez drove Pontiac Cheiftain convertibles in early episodes of "I Love Lucy"

The identical twin Trans Ams used in the movie "Cannonball" with David Carradine. This was the inspiration for the movie, Cannonball Run.

Do NASCAR Pontiacs driven by Richard Petty, Rusty Wallace and some others count in the TV section? Do any other form of racing Pontiacs count in the TV section - like NHRA or drifting?

Monster Garage episode, Wheelie Santa Float, started with a '86 Trans Am with a special '91 Ferrari Testarosa styled body on it.

How am I doing?

Knight Rider is the one that started it all for me, first car I ever loved.

With a black and gold 3rd gen TA in the driveway, it was definitely Smokey and the Bandit for me, and with a nickname like Frosty, obviously the Snowman is involved in some way too!!!

wtf why is the general lee not in here....

[Jedi3]

wtf why is the general lee not in here....

cuz the General is a D O D G E !

[Ringo64]

There ya go Crimson all the info you need on the General Lee

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_General_Lee

[Jedi3]

I actually read all of it! cuz the General is the best movie/tv car of all time!!! just too bad its a Dodge so we default to Knightrider for the win!

[Frosty]

wtf why is the general lee not in here....

Could it have anything to do with the fact that the General Lee was never a Pontiac? It's just a guess, mind you!!!

Now if you were looking for favorite cars from TV and Movies of all time, then the General Lee would definitely be in the discussion. Different topic thread though.
