VW sightings

« Reply #15 on: May 07, 2005, 07:58:56 PM »
It was on a cable channel a couple of years ago.  That was the only time I had ever seen or heard of it.  It was a really lame movie.  It had a good plot and a lot of well known actors . . . but it was really hard to follow.  It looked was like the cast and crew were on drugs.  It was released in 1969 . . . so maybe they were.

It has been released on DVD and I just bought a "veiwed one time" copy off eBay.  I'll let you borrow it when I get it.  There are (in my opinion) only two good scenes in the whole movie . . . both of them involve a KDF Wagen.

Here's a description of the movie I found on the internet:

Unusual WWII story from Sydney Pollack starring Burt Lancaster as a one-eyed U.S. Army major who leads a squad of misfit soldiers to an art-filled Belgian castle for some rest and relaxation. But the Americans are soon forced into helping the castle's owner, a count, when the Nazis attack. Peter Falk, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Al Freeman, Jr., and Bruce Dern also star. 107 min.

There's an new Gateraid commercial with a bunch of inner-city youngsters playing socer and basketball in streets and alleys . . . in one split second shot there is a bus driving by in the background.

Anyone seen the old green beetle in the Goody's (or is it Goodies? - the department store not the headache powder) commercial? It has the rear fender skirts on it and it's piled high with presents. Any idea what year it might be?

Hard to say . It goes by so fast, like a Sec. 1/2, but I think its at least '66 back. I couldn't get a good look at the vent windows though nor the H/lights for that matter. :roll:

In the new movie [Christmas with the Kranks] at the end there is a scene with Santas sliegh and reindeer and his sliegh is a Bug. That was cool. :thumbs-up:

I've been wanting to see that movie, that just gives me an extra reason to do so and I suppose this is the time of year to watch it :)
