One for Mr Z, Which film

[nopanic - neil]

OK found this on the web,

Oh look another Commer, but the question is

Which film is it from?   

let me know if u want a hint?

[Andy Zarse]

 ??? No idea mate, is it set in Oz, as it seems to have a 'roo bar fitted? It looks like the mid-late sixties and it's a rare version of the PA/PB with a sliding drivers door and a side door too. In fact I've never seen one with a side door in real life. So gimme a clue!

[Fran]

Oops!

[nopanic - neil]

Ok

Good start, it is an Oz film, from the 70's

Has a french conection, try the name.

Thats a good start.


Oh yea by the way, have a few more films with commers, after this one.

If there's a Commer involved it could be Walkabout ;D

The Cars That Ate Paris? - is the correct answer - give that man a beer!

And now the next one an easy one! (TV Series)

Let me know if you need a hint - (shhh - i'd save the hint for the next one, its a film that I've never heard of, but thats to come)

[Andy Zarse]

Ah yes, now i can tell you this one off the top of my head. I saw it recently on ITV4, it was featured in a rerun of The Sweeney.

You'll need to get out of bed earlier to catch me out on Commers, Neil!

Next!

[nopanic - neil]

OK Geezer

the next one and last, till I do some more homework

Get ready, no clues yet.

Name the film;

[Andy Zarse]

Easy. Deadline Autotheft. What a waste! And I don't mean the Plymouth crashing into it. One can only surmise how it got to Longbeach, California. I'd like to think it was transported regally on the Queen Mary. How apt, how classy.

[nopanic - neil]

Bloody Hell - An real expert on the Commer fim roles.

OK and the next one, been doing my homework.

Which Bond film ?

[Andy Zarse]

Bond. James Bond. Diamonds are Forever. It's a scene from the ferry port where 007 is off to Amsterdam, I think if my memory serves me correctly, in a Triumph Stag. He has a fight in a lift, kills the baddy, makes a humourous quip, shags a bird and then flys to Vegas. Sounds like quite a good weekend to me.

Was the police van in Withnail and I a commer? (the 'GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN' incident)

No, it was an Austin-Morris J4. A bit like this one. I noticed they also used this type in The Boys from Brazil (which was on TV last week), probably one assembled in Portugal from a CKD kit.



Policeman sees whisky bottles in car and looks enquiringly aT Withnail -

"Oh, these aren't mine, they're his!"  ;D

[nopanic - neil]

Correct on the Bond film, a real top Commer man!

Ok Andy, you have done amazing on the Commer Vans

Now something diffrent.

Try Austin (looks a bit like the Commer, I wonder which had the narrowest wheel base?)

Name the film.
