Sony pictures just used my car in an untitled major motion picture that they completed filming here in Hawaii. The scene was set in India and my car was a taxi that picked up one of the main actors! (Emma Stone). Yes, Emma Stone sat in the passenger seat of my car. [/end brag] LOL!
Hey greenmachine, Show us a video video or it didnt happen. No problem, here is your video:

Fast forward to the 2:38-2:40 mark of the local news video. You will see my car with the taxi light, pass by the camera.
I did get paid by Sony pictures for renting my car. i got the car back detailed inside and out. This 86 Tercel Wagon is now in the movie database and should another producer need a similar car, they will call me. How cool is that?
From Breaking Bad to other movies, we are keeping the wagon alive!

Link no workee.
A Search on the TV station's site revealed only prose and a still photo, but not of your T4WD.

Yes that was the "shot" I was talking about. The car passed by the cameraman pretty quickly. Remember, the cameraman was allowed access to a close set and a short glimpse of my car was seen. Y0u would probably have to pause the vid at the 2:39 and 2:40 mark to catch it.Mark wrote:I saw the top half of the car quickly at 2:40.
The movie will come out later in 2014. Im all about supporting our tercels. I would not post this here if it was not true.
Good eye Mark!

Re: Sony pictures used my car in a movie in Hawaii!
that's wicked, green machine. congrats! i actually just showed my wife your car because we went to kauai last year and saw countless 100% mint 90's toyota trucks--they're super popular there--but only one tercel wagon, and it was rusted out. so it's nice to see someone repping the mint tercel wagon contingent over there.
