The Bentley


That must be the toughest car in the movieverse.

Indeed so. Really that's my one complaint here - the rest of the film is too silly to argue over, but I'm not crazy about a vehicle being used as such a blatant placement ad.

Check the Trivia page. Bentley does not do product placement and the cars all had to be purchased for the film.

On the durability point, they said the cars were surprisingly well built, with the main car on suffering body damage with the frame and engine being perfectly intact.

It's a british movie. Do you complain also when James Bond drives an Aston Martin or a Jaguar? Or when American movies put their heroes in Mustangs and Dodges?

Odd complaint.




I think you know what I'm gettin' at Mr. President. We're gonna kill us a mummy.

I don't think it was obviously an advertisement for Bentley anyway. I'll bet if you asked 10 people, 7 wouldn't even recognize that it's a Bentley and it's not like they zoomed in on the car's logo a lot. I was just sad to see such a beautiful car having the *beep* kicked out of it.

I'm going to look out for those things now loool when you wrote about the mustangs, I immediately thought of that awful needforspeed movie. haha

The film uses various VW group cars (Bentley CGT is based on the Phaeton which Bob Hoskin's character drives- rare car) so some sort of deal was surely in place.

reply

why have such an expensive car if you're so afraid to bang it up. it gets one dent in the door after being rammed, bumped and jumped through a bus!

My shot it was some kind of a MI6 storage facility and this Bentley was another Bond's car.

I doubt if the target audience could afford a Bentley.

Pretty sure the battery would've been dead

In a container not even strapped in

What annoyed me the most was them trying to create drama with all those guys keeping up with it. That Bentley would out sprint and out top speed all of those cars by a wide margin. That guy repeatedly begging her to push the pedal and her looking helpless just made me wince. In reality, she could have left them in the dust.

That was my problem, too. No way the refugees from The Road Warrior could have kept up with that thoroughbred.
