Default A4's in Hollywood! How many Hollywood appearances have A4's made?

The Insider sported a nice Casablanca White or Silver A4.

I believe that Ronin (with Robert De Niro) featured a green A4. Pretty awesome chase scene too. (hope that was an A4 now that I'm saying this, hate to confuse an A4 with a Jetta or something )

What other movies include A4s?

Ronin had an S8, not an A4

Default "Go" has one, I think I saw one in Bowfinger too

The one in Go is in the parking lot of the grocery store I think, about midway through the movie. A4 has a passat-style antenna

I believe that there was one in Bowfinger, in the parking structure scene in front of the hotel when he's about to wallk in to pitch the movie.

The Insider has several scenes around a silver A4 (2.8 methinks)

Default Funny thing about The Insider...

When he was a high-priced executive he drove an A4 2.8. When he lost his job and became a high school teacher he drove a Volvo.

Default Did you notice that his wife's BMW disappeared also?


They moved to their new house and both the A4 and the BMW disappeared.

The BMW made a brief appearance during the beginning of the movie when he was talking with his wife in the driveway. The BMW was parked in front of the A4. He was headed to buy Soy Sauce.

(Incase you can't tell, I really liked The Insider)

Default And for the **** people, there was an issue over when...

...the movie was set, and the year of the A4! I believe the movie was set in '95 or '96, but if you pay attention, you will notice that the A4 in the movie is a '99 model, and it is a 2.8 quattro tiptronic (I could tell from the scene when he raced down the street from home), sport wheel, but not sport package.

Good movie, I thought.<p>Charles
