With DeNiro

 

[cascade]

Jason Stratham Robert De Niro and Clive Owen will make things lively and absorbing.

Hollywood loved to put the film "bad guys" in black w126 sedans it has always been so.

Looks like one of them this time is an SE though.

I'll go see it to check out these cars

It's painful to see them destroyed, BUT I admit,it is riveting to watch it happen.

Looks like the film opens in four days.

Wasn't Jaes Caan in some version of this years and years ago?

I wondered if maybe this is a role reprisal for Di Nero. He starred in Ronin and I wonder if his character is the same in this one.

I just watched ronin, there's a pretty badass 116 chase. Seeing the 126 in the commercial and such makes me wonder if there's not a producer or director or something that really likes 126's, or maybe statham himself. He had an sec in the movie Blitz, which was pretty good. I won't spend the money at the theater, but I'll surely download or netflix this when it comes out.. looks pretty good, except for the whole, "destroying a 126" thing.

Ronin director John Frankenheimer (RIP) was a well known Mercedes collector, and owned a turbo charged W116 6.9L.
It's said to be the car used in David Lynch's 'Lost Highway'
A clip with a look under the hood (not sure whether it's the actual car's engine) and the tailgater scene (French)

 

[w126Sam]

that scene from lost highway is practically the entire reason I got into mercedes. So hilariously awesome.

 

[jorden1965]

One less EURO W126, does that make my 280SE worth any more?

 

[vdubpower]

why cant they just use the 300sd's if they are gonna detroy them, there are a bunch in the San fernando valley they can grab

 

[Dr.Grillz]

Did anyone else notice or am I seeing things? The scene shows a black W126 driving and then switches over into a black W123 when it blows up?

 

[Chadahar]

The MB standing on end (Blown into the air) in the trailer is a w126. Haven't seen the picture to determine if there is a switch. Most, except us, will never know the difference.

Easy.....

why cant they just use the 300sd's if they are gonna detroy them, there are a bunch in the San fernando valley they can grab

Better yet, send 'em up here. This rust-free 300SD came from California a few years ago.., is now my daily driver.

I'll trade you gassers all day long, there's no shortage of Euro-spec around here.

Injections all good, but I'd rather be etc...

It looked like that to me too, cause of the headlights. But based on some of the prices I've seen, an average 126 is less valuable and rare than those, so I don't know why they'd do that, lol.

 

[vdubpower]

i think the car that was blown up and did the somersault was the lead car, and was a w123

the car they shot into close up was a 126

 

[gdigio13]

Did anyone notice that in the opening scene they were driving a w126 with the 15 hole rims from 1986+ and a w123 but the preface to the scene said it was in 1980, before the w126.

 

[w126Sam]

yup. I'm pretty sure my friends heavily rolled their eyes when I pointed that out. I think the same thing happened in "the devil's double" iirc.

 

[Greeney]

I was just as appauled when they used and destroyed 8 G Wagens in 'Bourne Ultimatum'

When I had Jaguars it was always the XJ that hollywood chose to blow to smythereens on any movie!! LOL

 

[Firewater]

Throw this in my epic w126 movie thread, I'm making a collection :thumbsup:

Lol there is another maroon W126 at 1:25 after he jumps out of the window.

 

[Firewater]

Maybe your eyes aren't what they used to be, but he takes aim at the W126 (doesn't necessarily mean he blew it up with the shot, that's how trailers work...) the W123 blows up BECAUSE JASON STATHAM PRESSES THE DETONATOR IN HIS HAND, and the W126 that was FOLLOWING IT comes to a screeching halt where Jason Statham and Robert DeNiro fill it full of lead. No discontinuity, no mistake.

 

[w126Sam]

You're hilarious man. Stop freaking out about peoples' opinions on internet forums. If you let yourself get this riled up on the internet I can't imagine how much shit you must be holding in. For one, I was talking about the rims, which are gen 2 rims in a movie based in the early 80's. And for 2, all I meant was the car getting blown up looked like a 123, which I believe it was. The trailer was misleading in the sense that it showed a lone 126 in crosshairs followed by a 123 blowing up. Dr. Grillz and I misinterpreted it as one continuous shot. Boo hoo.

I don't get riled up, I just type with a lot of emotion. It's not like I'm banging my keyboard on m end or anything. Although, my brother would probably say otherwise, but then again I only do the same thing to him through text, haha.

It's like I can't type as fast as I'm thinking or something along those lines so every response is a fervent one. Especially when you see the responses pile up only because they read the post above them and probably didn't watch the clip.
