For me it's "No Man's Land" 1987 - Charlie Sheen - D.B. Sweeney. (They also made a Porn movie series of the same title... lol )

Super cheesy but it's hard to imagine another movie with more Porsche content.

Also... IMO The Fast and the Furious 2001 "borrowed" a lot from this movie.

That was filmed in LA and TRE was the Porsche shop. Dave's old shop location anyway. I like that movie due to the mass amount of Porsche content. I love it and use it often, "Italian trash".

Hell, they even rented his shop for a porn film. Funny.

I bought "No Man's Land" years ago because so many people here talked about it. I tried to like it, but just couldn't. The car chases and driving that looked like they were filmed at 20mph killed it for me.

For me, the movie worn Porsche content that I like is "Le Mans"

True but have we been ruined by the antics shown in the newer car movies?
- If nothing else it was realistic.

BTW: They sped up the film for the car chases in the first Mad max movie. If you watch for it, it becomes obvious.

Note how quickly Toecutter turns his head in this clip. lol

It comes off a little more sinister with the speed-up.

The original Willy Wonka with Gene Wilder.

I know it isnt a car movie but when Charlie finds the money he uses to buy his winning ticket candy bar it is right in front of a 356
