For a starring role I think it is hard to beat the black Pinto in "Double Nickels." That car had lengthy screen time going up and down the steep, stair walkways of L.A.. I'd venture to guess that no other Pinto has had as much continuous screen time and been the central focal point of the scene.

I dunno about movies but call of duty-modern warfare theres a level that has a car that looks like a pinto and you can shoot it and blow it up. LOL

I think you're probably right... I can't think of anything to equal it!

OK I can't believe Phil missed THIS one! I've been watching the Mary Tyler Moore show and accidentally got on Season 3 episode 24 (I'm only on season 2 episode 2). Mary and Rhoda are getting their cars repaired and they seem to be at a Ford dealer. Outside I saw no less than two yes TWO brown or saddle bronze metallic Pintos in the lot and (ohhh I'm drooling!) an orange Runabout with creamy white interior in the showroom next to a green Mustang convertible. I'm thinking they're '73 models because the Pinto has a one-button pop-out rear quarter window. Oh to see a new shiny Pinto!

There might be more. I had to stop the episode because, well, I'm on episode 2 of season 2.

add Crooklyn. I just watched it on showtime. About a family who is making it in brooklyn while the Jazz player dad is on the road. Scene after little girl goes to the store and buys candy and chips, she walks out and a Pinto drives by.

Me too! lol. I remember the theme song "Love Is All Around", the lettering, and her throwing her cap in the air the best! lol. It's a great show. Love the clothes and decor. Great stars on that show too!

I don't know about movies anymore but there were a few episodes of *supernatural* that have a 79 or 80 Runabout in them both the same car two diff Episodes =)

OK I watched the whole episode of MTM season 3 episode 24 and saw, in addition to the coppery gold ones in the parking lot... a yummy-looking (to me anyway) Grabber Blue Pinto with black vinyl-top. Also, if you look closely at Mary's sales brochure... the cars on the back look suspiciously like Pintos... then she tosses them in the trash! Shame on you Mary!

I noticed the same thing about those brochures! I thought that was interesting since it was a Mustang convertible that she was considering buying. Did you like the surprise ending concerning the yellow convertible???

Yes... asnd no. The green one was prettier, but yellow with the DEluxe package and a/c was nice. Frankly, it would've been better if Rhoda just paid Mary back. Ideal scenario...Mar y and Rhoda each get a brand-new Pinto!

I agree... it WAS rather presumptuous on Rhoda's part! Did you catch Rhoda's comment about her '65 Falcon? Still... it wasn't quite the way I thought the show would end. Actually, they probably could have both gotten a Pinto for the price of one Mustang convertible!

chalange for you blue Police acadmey original how many pntos i saw 1 and it was used about 3 times in different locations can you also find the bobcats?

Phil I believe you did challenge me so I will hopefully do you proud with my sightings:

The dark green '77-'78 wagon- seen 3 times- #1 in the parking lot Mahoney worked at; #2 in the traffic jam when Mahoney's enemy pops a wheelie just before he crashes into the poor horse's arse; and parked in the parking lot at the Police Academy. Ahhh now the Bobcat(s): #1 driving in front of the police cruiser at beginning of movie (when the new recruits are coming in; #2 behind the one redneck cop-to-be when he's brown-nosing one of the senior officers; #3 (?) do I detect a headlight in that traffic jam (wheelie one)?; #4 Is that a Bobcat or Pinto sedan parked in that dark parking lot where the cop was hiding out when Mahoney and Hightower had a "driving lesson"? Possible other Pinto/Bobcat sighting- when the P.A. buses responded to the riots there was a very Pintoesque or Bobcatesque vehicle parked along the street. Thank goodness for dvd tracking! Phil, did I pass? Do I get a gold star!? Huh? Huh?

Watched Lou Grant season 1 episode 1. Two different white Pintos and a red Pinto were confirmed. A Mustang II was seen passing one of the guys' cars in the opening credits. Possible Maverick sightings too.

You should have told her that if you'd known that, you'd have spent the bucks to see it on its first run! :lol:

I am sure i would of ! I will not reveal what scene to Pinto in in till people have time to see the move. It was quite the suprise!

I've been watching reruns of Major Dad on Hulu. In season 2 episode 15 the General talks about his 1956 (?) MG in English Racing Green and Lieutenant Holowachuk talks about his 1977 Pinto. Major MacGillis replies, "You STILL drive a 1977 Pinto." lol. Go Holowachuk!

Found a squire wagon in Genesis' video for Misunderstandi ng, brief shot when a green wagon of some sort drives past, there is a SW parked on the road behind it.

Actually there were TWO Pintos... the green Squire mpg (check out the steel wheels) I'm guessing it's a post-75 Squire) and an early green sedan or Runabout. You can see the grille. Love that song BTW... great memories attached to it.

Just finished watching sorcerer's apprentice with the family. What a great Pinto scene!

Great side shot and some decent interior shots to, even if they were dark!

I had to replay the Pinto scene to see it again, my wife thinks I'm crazy! lol

In the movie "the losers" there is a yelloe hatch back. I believe it gets blown up.

On the Charley's Angels tv show, Jacklin Smith always drove a Pinto, and in one episode she was in a car chase in it and it got dented rather badly. I probably did not spell her name right, but you know what I mean! Lorenzo
