G-Bodies On Screen

Created by The Emissary

Welcome to the G-Bodies on Screen website, in which the pages will list the following movies and TV shows that featured GM G-bodies. Most of the movies and TV
shows that I have listed focused primarily on the mid-1980s era "muscle" G-cars (e.g. Monte Carlo SS, Grand National/GNX, and 442), as well as their plain-jane BOP counterparts. Most of the cars that are described are of 1978-88 vintage. There is too much to list, in which several of the movies and TV shows have been forgotten or overlooked. Keep in mind that what is seen in the movies and on TV are immortalized for life.

This page is a counterpart to the Chevelles (and A-cars) On Screen page, which was originally a part of my personal homepage. This page was created before midnight on 7/20/99, the 30th anniversary of Apollo 11 and JFK Jr's plane crash.

Just in!!! 12/11/99 update: this page is now a www.dw-enterprises.com award recipient!

3/15/00 update: Here's a link that will make the page a little more readable. Download the font file, and use a program like WinZip, and unzip the files into C:\windows\fonts.

There are three sections of the G-Bodies on Screen webpage, in which the TV shows and movies are broken down by genre and time period. Most of the films listed will have a detailed description of the G-cars used as picture cars or stunt vehicles. Enjoy and have a look around!

Here are some movies and TV shows that are well known to the average viewer, in which GM G-cars have appeared on screen:

Dirty Harry Movies

In the fourth Dirty Harry film, Sudden Impact, a 1978-80 Monte Carlo shows up in a couple of scenes, in front of the art gallery, where Sondra Locke speak with the gallery owner. The traffic scene follows, and when she tells a young Hispanic male to "shove a jack up your ass", a 1978 Monte Carlo is seen, after she speeds off from the traffic intersection. Later, a 1983 Hurst/Olds is seen in the driveway, where the hardware store owner garage door closes.

In the fifth Dirty Harry movie, The Dead Pool, there is a car chase scene (which is a parody of a past movie, Bullitt) where Harry is outrunning a remote-control 1963 Vette, a 1978 Monte Carlo is seen as the third vehicle in pursuit of the remote controlled toy. The remote-controlled Vette is armed with C4, and there is a scene in which Harry is trapped in an alley, and the remote-controlled Vette inches toward a 1987 Oldsmobile Delta 88 sedan. Harry floors the accelerator, when the car is in reverse (after the remote-controlled Vette is under the car), and the front end explodes. Unfortunately, his partner was injured, but wore body armor.

In Memory of Desmond "Q" Llewelyn (1913-1999)

In the movie A View to a Kill, a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu broadsides a 1978 Dodge Monaco (a stunt vehicle disguised as an SFPD police cruiser). During the fire truck chase scene, when the ladder disconnects, a 1978 Monte Carlo is seen near a Chevron gas station, and this is where the ladder hits the sign, which crashes onto a Dodge Diplomat (an SFPD cruiser). The Dodge ends up crunched by a counterweight of the Lefty O'Doul Drawbridge in China Basin, after 007 makes it across the bridge in a fire truck. At the bridge, several Mopar police cruisers are wrecked. (Stunts courtesy of Remy Julienne).
