Can't forget Tie-Died.

I own it on VHS and DVD. Very Happy There are several shots of bays in this one.

Google Tie Died for many results.


that was really more of a documentary, I saw this one. it was interesting how they skirted around the Grateful Dead in this doc, due to copyright issues.

I would love to live in a world free of responsibility but sadly these days are behind me.

In "Electra Glide in Blue" Robert Blake is a motorcycle cop that gets blown away at the end of the movie by some hippie types in a bus. The weird thing was that the bus has a roll down window in the back hatch and the hippie shoots Blake from this window as he rides his motorcycle behind the bus.

Watching Rockford Files last night. In the first three outdoor scenes, there was a diferent splittie in each plus several Bugs. Considering when the show was filmed, I was surprised they weren't bays, though I'm sure there are some in other episodes.

a new zealand mockumentary which features a yellow and white bay touring around europe, filled with 4 new zealand backpackers. watch it for the bay, then cry about the rest.

it is a very bad movie, everything about it is bad. even the funny parts arent funny.

AND to make things worse, they set the bus on fire at the end anyway! i cried.
but check it out, the kombi has a feature role, and isnt just a cameo.

Man on Fire has to win the award for cruelty to vintage VW's. Not only to they destroy that bay, but it seems like every time there's a gun fight, Denzel Washington takes cover behind a green taxi bug. Now I like bugs, but they certainly wouldn't be my first choice to protect my ass from a hailstorm of bullets... Shocked

I just rented a documentary on Charles Bukowski (sp?), the poet, the other day and there were 2 buses that I saw in that one. The shots were old B&W film. The buses were late 60s, I think. And then there were old B&W shots of Bukowski himself driving in his car, which was a beat up old Bug with a cracked windshield with the Iron Cross hanging from his rear view mirror. The shots were from the inside POV.

I was watching the movie Wrong Turn the other day and saw a bay setting in front of these wackjobs house. Anyone see this movie? It's about these wacko brothers that live in the woods and people go down their road for a shortcut and they kill them, cut them up,and eat them.
I think the bay was blue and white. Only got a glimps of it.

Since this thread has devolved into TV shows, I can point out that several episodes of Dilbert, the animated series, had quite a few buses. Just about any scene where Dilbert is driving has buses, and there were clearly distinguishable splitties and bays.

One of the animators apparently had a soft spot for buses!

"Harry and Tonto" - funky split with the top half of a Beetle grafted onto the roof. I always thought that was pretty cool.

Also, since the movie was filmed in the early 70's there are a plethora of aircooled VWs in practically every street scene. Kind of neat to be reminded of how ubiquitous they were back then...

There's a surfing documentary "Riding Giants" which has a little bit of everything. It's on again later this week.
