French cars in films

The Renault 19 in The Contractor was actually done up as a police car, but was not in the same blue yellow battenberg colours of all the other police cars in the film.

It was rammed out of the way in a crash scene as a black cab tried to escape, and drove into it and a 3 series BMW.

As the cab is on the approach to ramming the above cars, there is a black Renault Megane seen at the side of the road.

Later on in a panning shot there are a Renault Megane Scenic, a Renault Clio, a Peugeot 106, and then a Citroen Xsara Picasso.

Went to see Skyfall today, and I might be completely mistaken but I thought there was a Renault 12 Estate in the first few minutes of the first car chase... Could well have been in Dacia form, however.

Might arguably not be a film, but then again... what the heck...

Technically not a film, but a music video for Tame Impalas new single "Mind Mischief". It's a bit risqué, so hope no one is upset by it.
It does feature a French car though!

Watched La Femme Nikita yesterday, disappointing as far as French cars were concerned.
As Was Léon - The Professional, for all it's French Connections.

I could have sworn there was a Mehari on 'Death in Paradise' on Tuesday. It was parked up when they were all just driving off to the weather station posts to measure the time it took...somewhere in the middle of the programme but near the start.

Really want to watch that series again, only saw a few episodes if I recall. French car spotting might be enough of a kick to check it out again

I would have thought that Jessica Alba was reason enough.

My eldest daughter has the full set on DVD.

I watch it on 1Channel (free

)

Jessica Alba is certainly a serious attraction and I think I caught a glimpse of the ever lovely Grace Park in one episode.
