Blazers and Jimmys in movies

Hey Guys I was watching the movie Every which way but loose today before work and noticed a blazer in it. I thought that was so cool. every time I watch an older movie I look for them but this was the first time I actually seen one in a movie. just wondering what other movies out there that you have seen blazers or jimmys.

Thanks

I haven't seen Blazers but a few 67-72 trucks like the micky D commerical and on the flip side have you noticed that in the movies Chevelles are disposable.

There was a suburban in Long Wolf McQuade. They kinda made it look bad though and had Chuck Norris push it up a hill with that turbo charged Dodge Powerwagon

The sheriff in Stephen King's "Misery" drove a nice stock blazer. He usually has one 67-72 in all his flicks.

Re: Blazers and Jimmys in movies

My blazer made an appearance in this video I saw when watching the Grammys.

Not sure when they filmed it because I didn't even notice they borrowed it from my garage.

Re: Blazers and Jimmys in movies

If I remember correctly, in Smokey and the Bandit they show a first gen Blazer when they kids all head out from the choke and puke to run interference.

Matt Dillon drove a blazer with a half cab in "Beautiful Girls". There was also an orange Blazer in one of the original "Clinique Happy" perfume commercials.
