does anyone remember a canadian movie with a guy driving a 60's standard with a full length hwe rack,. I do not remember much about the movie other than it was on a canadian tv station(we get a few living near the border) and the guy was driving across canada? the bus eventually breaks down and he trades it to a local for some shit box car! DAMN I wish I know the name of this movie!

my frinds have been watching some horror movie where the bad guys drive a bus. The cops figure out they are the bad guys, because they say that they needed to stop at the to be victims house because they needed water for the radiator.. but the cop is like... "why would you need water, when you have....... an aircooled vehicle!?" dadada! I'll ask him the name of the movie tomorrow

Girl, Interrupted with Jolie and Ryder has a brief bus shot near the end of the film. The bus was subsequently totalled. My '66 has the deluxe bumper trim from the bus in that film (or so I was told by the seller from PA).

I just saw "The Omen" and caught a few.

Not an old movie but if you want LOTS of split bus footage, check out "Around The Bend" with Christopher Walken, Joshua Lucas and Michael Caine. It came out in 2004 and not the best movie around but entire movie revolves around their road trip in a split bus which made it worth watching. Curious if anyone on the Samba owns that bus, its got CA plates.

Just last night I spotted a bus in North by Northwest. 4 minutes 8 seconds into the movie, Cary Grant and his secretary were in the cab heading to the Plaza Hotel. A logo'd bus was visible from the back window of the cab. The movie was made in 1959. I haven't finished the movie yet to see if there were more.. It was late.

Checkout some Russ Meyer films.....
Supervixens has some buggies in it, and Faster Pussycat Kill Kill has a 356 all the way through it.

I recall an episode of Twilight Zone, Outer Limits or something of the sort, that was actually set inside an early split bus. The driver cleverly uses the fuel reserve tap to outwit a hitchiker.

Ive thought about the show many times over the years but have never been able to place it.

a futurama episode "Bendin' in the Wind" fry found a vw bus..i think it was a split...the doc asked "where's the device that slows and speeds up time" fry said it here under the seat---it was a bong

in a simpson episode there was a split bus in the parking lot in one scene...

dont know if those count

the movie "keeping mum" had a bus in it..might have been a bay thou..

and the movie "fletch" there was a split in passing in the chase scene..

[ghiafreek]

This thread rocks!

You can't forget Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
I also watched The Love Bug not long ago and noticed both a white Panel parked on the street in one scene and a Velvet Green hardtop Westy by the racetrack in another.

I first watched the just released movie at a theater in San Francisco when I was a teenager (I wanted to get on a Harley and take off, afterwards) and tripped out watching it, again, last night, on AMC: Easy Rider. That heavy scene at the commune had a pre-1962, beaten up hippie mobile in it. The first half of that movie is really awesome.
Did you know that the early scene near an airport where the rich dude bought the cocaine was played by none other than Phil Spector?
What was the name of the actor who turned down the role that Jack Nicholson later took?

There was a late 70's or early 80's movie that ran on cable, made and set in Canada. A 21 or 23 window was the family car, they lived in a forested area...seems like there was a fair amount of bus footage...no idea what the name was...
