Movie truck question? (The Last Action Hero)

In the movie "The Last Action Hero" staring Arnold S. In the begining of the movie, they had a '56 F100 that was red that they ended up destroying (hopefully a stunt double of the truck) I was wondering if it was someone that we knew that owned the truck that is on the FTE? And if your truck has been in a big movie tell about it. I know Sam's truck is goin to be in a movie around Labor day. We're all waiting to see it. I hope it is Sam. That would be SO COOL!!

This whole AZ thing might just shelve this movie for awhile. Hopefully not, cuz I'd like to see the truck in action.

Wow! Machete is a real movie after all? That's wonderful news. And cool that your truck is in it.

My '59 M100 was rented once to the TV show "Wiseguy", but I've never seen the episode (and it may not have appeared in the final cut). Possibly episode 50 (S03E06) since that had a "flashback" storyline; I'll see if I can find it.

I knew about the '56 bein in it, but decided to see if someone on here owned it or knew of it?

Ya Sam--way to go/celebrity status! Nice. I see your roof at 2:13. Haven't seen a flick in ages. Maybe this will get me motivated.

Goodluck

Wow that's a cool pic of the Red F100. Boy does that thing need a anti-sway bar or what? Looks like it was about to go over! Glad I wasn't in the bed along with my friends.

I don't recall that movie at all. And Arnold too? He's my guv or course. And in fact some nice young couple was walking by the house the other day, and saw my old truck and came down the driveway.

They were from Austria--I think that was Arnold's home?--They asked if I knew of it etc. I kinda laughed to myself. Its true we Americans don't excell in geography. I assured them that yes "I'd heard of Austria"

I had them pose with my truck and used their camera. Newly weds I guess.

By the way-I should add-that like many concerned Americans I too want to see Australia and Austria reunited. I think its a shame that they were so badly divided in that horrible civil war. When was that exactly?

Machete Movie

I have been following the making of this movie. Right now there is a bit of Limbo going on because of Lindsey Lohans Jail sentence. From what I understand, all her scenes are not filmed yet. But, with all the big name actors in the flick, it will come out, even if they have to replace her!

Its cool that there is a FTE truck on there! It will make the movie even better!

her scenes were done last fall, right around the time they were filming with my truck..(as I understood it) You can't edit and distribute with 45 days to go.. but it was supposed to be in April and got moved.. so.... stay tuned I guess.

its not the kind of movie I would normally go to, my 20yr olds would tho.. but they called me, so what the heck..
