I recently watched "Dirty Harry" and was enjoying the cars in the
background. There is a red TR3 with top up about halfway through the movie.

That sort of thing spoils a movie or episode
for me. There was an
American TV series in the 1990's called JAG. In one
episode one of the
main characters "Harm" met his half brother for the first
time in
Chechnya during the**second Chechen war. There was a Russian army
arms
convoy driving Land Rover 101 trucks. That totally distracted me from
the story line. I Never knew the Russian Army had Land Rovers in
service.
101's seem to be a standard fill in whenever an American movie
company needs
Eastern European military cargo trucks. That's the one
episode that really
stands out in my memory. Just because of the
Russian military Land Rovers.
So am I the only one when watching the classic chase scene in the movie
Bullet pays attention to all the cars parked along the streets of San
Francisco just to see the then common, now uncommon cars parked along
the
streets? MGs, Triumphs big Healeys, all the VW bugs & 356 Porches.
