Another Terc sighting in a movie

Post by dcn »

I was just flipping back and forth between NHL playoffs and the X-Files movie and there's a scene where Mulder gets shot by a guy driving an ambulance. When he falls on his back in the road there's a Tercel parked right beside him, in full view from behind and to the side! Cool! If anyone has the movie post a screen of check it out or whatever, it's neat!

Yeah,
a Tercel 4wd was in The Little Giants. There is a show that is on weekdays @ 6-7PM that is called The King of Queens. The guy Doug, in it, owns a brown Tercel 4wd wagon. I'm assuming its a DLX model because it had vinyl seats. Or it could have been a pimped SR5 model. It shows him driving it in one episode, while he listens to Carrie's father, Arthur, babbling about boring and stupid stuff.

I've seen that brown wagon...think it's a 2 WD. A lot of times it's in the background when they have scenes in the garage.

I agree. I think its an '87 2WD, but they don't have it anymore, they have a Jeep, possibly.

I saw one in an episode of Cops. A pissed off lady (driving the Terc) was screaming and thrashing the cops from the window while her cat tried to kill the cop. Was pointless, as usual, but still funny and novel.

War of the Worlds remake

I remember one, blue I think, in the beginning of War Of the Worlds. Tom Cruise is in the street in front of his house and there's all this mayhem and a navy blue Tercel drives through the intersection.
