Here's where I'll try to point out early Broncos I've seen either in films or TV shows (this is by no means a complete listing..if you've got a film or show that you know of that isin't already listed where an early Bronco makes an appearance, please email me and let me know with as much detail about the scene (or scenes) as you can-I'll check it out and post it here with kudos if it pans out. Thanks!)

• "Charlies' Angels"(the movie, not the TV show)-near the end, Bill Murray (as Bosley) jumps a really sweet blue & white EB to pick up all 3 Angels and they take off chasing a Huey.

• "Gone in 60 Seconds" (the original 1974 film, not the remake) has a few scenes with Parnelli Jones' desert racer Bronco-and lots of car wrecks! Argh, argh.

• "Three Days of the Condor"(1975; Robert Redford, Cliff Robertson, Faye Dunaway, Max Von Sydow--great spy/espionage/secret goverment organization movie!)-in one of the scenes, Redford and Dunaway use an EB to kidnap Robertson on the streets of New York.

• "The Eiger Sanction" (1973; Clint Eastwood, George Kennedy--another spy/espionage movie..hmm)-George drives an EB to pick Clint up from the aiport and take him back to his ranch/training camp.

• "The Rat Race" (2001; John Cleese, Whoopi Goldberg)- a few scenes of an EB racing through the streets of Las Vegas, and a longer scene where it gets winched (vertically) up a Radar antenna tower (it's hard to explain-click on the link for Quicktime movie clip.)

• I just happened to see an Olympus camera commercial with a sweet bright yellow Bronco featured in it the other night-interesting.

• "Speed" (1999; Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves)- Keanu gets to wail through downton L.A. traffic in a clean silver E.B. as he races to stop a city bus from exploding.
