Famous Movie Corvettes

With each passing decade, the Corvette becomes further entwined in American pop culture. This is only fitting, as few if any vehicles are as indelibly American in nature as the Corvette. The Corvette has become the subject of numerous songs, appeared in many product advertising campaigns, and found its way into an endless number of television shows. Along these same lines, America’s sports car has received its fair share of exposure on the silver screen. Throughout the years, GM’s flagship model has made cameo appearances in many movies, too numerous to count. While the Corvette’s role in such movies has varied significantly, all are equally exciting to the true Vette enthusiast at heart. Grab some popcorn and a large soda, as we count down 5 of the most notable Corvette movie appearances.

The Dead Pool (1988) Corvette

If there were to be an actor that is as quintessentially American as the Corvette, it would have to be Clint Eastwood. Reprising his role as the controversial cop “Dirty” Harry Callahan, Eastwood takes on a murderous lunatic in the 1988 film, The Dead Pool. This movie also features a young Liam Neeson, long before he came to be synonymous with his role in the “Taken” series. At one point during the movie, Eastwood’s character is pursued by a remote control Corvette, loaded down with C4 explosives. A chase scene of epic proportions unfolds, ending in an explosion that leaves Detective Callahan and his partner reeling.
