Minority Report, another movie based on a Philip K.
The Spinners were actually built on top of the chassis of Volkswagens. The futuristic police Spinners soared above the rooftops of 2019 Los Angeles in Philip K. The car started life as a limited edition of a 1973 Ford XB Falcon Hardtop and later made an appearance in Mad Max 2: Road Warrior.īlade Runner is constantly referenced as one of the most-loved sci-fi movies of all time. The black Pursuit Special from Mad Max was one of those unforgettable movie cars that almost seems like a character itself. Could it have been because of the unforgettable cars? The above gator car, driven by David Carradine’s character, was just one of the unbelievable tricked-out race cars featured in the movie. The critics were right, but the movie still turned into a cult classic. The original 1975 Death Race 2000 was panned by critics as being campy, over-the-top and full of gratuitous violence and nudity. In the years since the first movie was released, the Ecto-1 has been the subject of countless geeky recreations. Although it required significant rebuilding in the movie before it was fit for serving the Ghostbusters’ needs, it turned out to be almost as popular with viewers as the brave team themselves. These are only a few of the most memorable sci-fi cars to grace the silver screen in recent years.Ĭonverted from an old ambulance, the Ecto-1 was how the Ghostbusters team made their way to various supernatural emergencies in New York City. From the earliest days of science fiction, filmmakers have been coming up with amazing, unbelievable vehicles for their characters to drive around in. If there’s one thing you can always count on sci-fi movies for, it’s interesting cars.
