ice man Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I've been meaning to post this sooner, but neglected to do so. Someone please clarify. A couple of weeks ago I tuned into a movie staring Will Smith and another black actor who's name escapes me. I don't know the name of the movie, but it wasn't anything recent. During a night shot, both actors emerged from a car,what appeared to me to be the Blackhawk. Was I seeing things, imagined it, or was the Blackhawk actually used in this particular movie? I'm not an avid movie watcher, and this may well have been discussed in another post long ago. Please bring me up to date. Thank'sBoy, I miss that car! Wouldn't it be cool if someone made a kit of the Blackhawk, which could be used over say a Skylark frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm pretty sure it was "Bad Boys" with Martin Lawrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Speaking of the Blackhawk......someone said it sold again at auction recently. Where and what was the selling price? When GM sold it last spring it went for $475,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Buick 80C Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 It was "Bad Boys 2" actually. There is a really cool website that you can look up a cars in movies. IMCDb.org: Home page Here is the link for that sites Bad Boys II cars. IMCDb.org: "Bad Boys II, 2003": cars, bikes, trucks and other vehiclesAs far as it selling again I couldn't find anything on the web about it in a quick search.

Rich Morton Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I think the movie was Bad Boys 2.Yes it was the Blackhawk in the movie.Most of you know Harold Calhoun who is in the Flint Chapter of the Bca.When the Blackhawk was being transported around the country, it was Harold who worked for Reliable Transportation who trucked the Blackhawk and usually other Buicks from Gm's collection to various events.One of the times I spoke to Harold he told me a story of taking the Blackhawk to Miami for the filming of that movie.My recollection was that there was to be a period of a week or two when the car was not needed for production,so he was asked to provide an estimate for the cost of taking the car away or remaining on site 'til the car was needed again.From my understanding the cost was a wash,so he was able to stay on site and enjoy his time with his wife 'til the car was needed again.One of the nicer perks he was able to "endure".Hope I got the gist of this story correct.Hopefully if I'm wrong someone will correct me.

ice man Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thank's for the clarification, that I wasn't seeing things. I never thought to e-mail Harold and question him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
