AMCs in the media

Here's a trailer for the 1989 movie "The Wizard".  Watch closely (or pause it) at the 0:10 mark:

Nice find.

My daughter has been watching the movie MegaMind daily for the past few days.  I have not really paid much attention to it, but today I had to pause it and back up the movie frame by frame.  I noticed a Rambler AMerican on the side of the road in one shot. 

Then right after that shot they show a parking lot in the background with what looks like a woodgrain Concord.

rockstar video games has not forgotten amc. in their game "grand theft auto the lost and :water reservoir:" there is a car called rhapsody which from the rear and sides looks just like a pacer the front however looks more like a vw golf. it even has the right style of door handles. i will try to get some pics of it tomorrow when i play the game.

Wow..Great eye!! I went and saw that movie at the theatre...Never noticed that Eagle though....I was a typical ten year Nintendo junkie and I had the biggest crush on that red head girl....I saw that movie like six times in a row!!...LOL I wonder where shes at now??...the Eagle not the red head ...The red head, (Jenny Lewis) is a musician now...FYI

in Darius Rucker's music video "this" there is a red nice looking pacer. and i finally had time to get some pics of the pacer (a.k.a. rhapsody) from the grand theft auto game "the lost and dammed"



this is the front of this car but as you can see it is a vw golf front end.

Very Pacer like.  There are some differences though.  Someone's idea of what they thought a Pacer should look like?

[Whuntmore]

I'm no expert, and without looking up pics of the pacer, it looks like the got the front end/grille wrong.  The back looks close, but I can't place it, but when I look at the hood near the front, it don't look right.

[IowaEagle]

Front is really wrong, back has some issues.

[Whuntmore]

Actually, it's not a bad look for the car, it's just not accurate.

Sometimes, that's the best a videogame can do...Depends on how much eye for detail they had or what the graphics and available space allowed them to do.

[maddog]

as i said before the grill, headlights and the rest of the front end are from a Volkswagen golf.

it's all copy right garbage, they make it look exact dodge can sue because they own the AMC name and what not.  If you ever pay real close attention to tv shows they may have products that look like something (for example a pringles can) and it says something like "chips" on it so that they cannot be taken to court for using a name and not paying for it

Front end does look kind of like a VW golf.  But it kind of looks to me like a Hornet front end.
