Ari Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 I ask this cos in the film it looks black, but I was watching the making (it's on the DVD) and they had an S8 adapted so it could be driven from the boot whilst the actors were filmed in the front (forget why now) and that car was definitely Cactus Green (a very dark green, my previous A3 quattro was this colour). So I'm confused as to which it is now! Nice car though (Sven!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 I thought that it was a dark green, aka Cactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 From AudiUSA.com [ QUOTE ] Do Audis ever appear in movies or on TV? Audi has had a regular presence in Hollywood, both on the big screen and on television. In spring 2002, Hugh Grant appeared in an Audi TT Coupe in Universal Pictures feature film About A Boy. Also in 2002, Richard Gere was seen driving an A8 L in The Mothman Prophecies. These appearances build on Audi's history of Hollywood placements. You may not be familiar with all of them, but you should recognize some of the most familiar ones. The <font color="green"> GREEN </font>S8 from Ronin. Russell Crowe's silver A4 from The Insider. Thandie Newton's silver TT Roadster in Mission Impossible 2. [/ QUOTE ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Ahh thought so. It does look black in the movie, but in the making it's definitely green so guess its just the lighting. Not seen Mission Impossible 2, much Audi action in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Think thats near the starting sequence where Ethan hunt gets in a car spin with a ferarri ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Hmm... always thought it was black metallic (Ebony pearl). You gonna tell me now I got the wrong colour??? No I love my Ebony black pearl baby... just smoked a superbike with it More about that later... Just ordered the DVD since I heard the stunt bits were pretty good. So I'll see. In the film it defo looks black though... And EVERYONE speaks about "that black S8" BTW, in the S8 brochure there's no 'cactus green', just a 'racing green metallic'.

Ari Posted November 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Definitely looks black to me in the film, but have a look at the "Filming in the Fast Lane" feature on the extras, very definitely green there! Good film though, worth having. Can't believe you haven't already got this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Yeah, it's indeed green! Not a bad combo though with the cream leather. I had the film already of course (one of my favorites), just not on DVD. Bought it now for the extra's. Seen the weird boot-driven car too now, must be scary indeed as Jean Reno said. I'd rather drive myself, but I suppose Frankenheimer had a reason to do that. It's not really explained why though. I bet it's instead of the car on the trailer routine... Incredible they wrecked 80 cars in the movie... Luckyly not all S8's though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Just stumbled upon an info page with pics, about the cars and chases in Ronin. It explains who is driving when, how it's done etc. The boot-driven Audi was apparently only used in the last scene where it was smashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaa Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Don't forget the S4s that appear in both Matrix: Reloaded and Revelutions.. There's also an Audi in 2 Fast 2 Furious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
