C3's in Movies???
I don't know if there is already a thread for this... I looked but didn't find one.
Post photo stills of C3's spotted in movies... How many can we find? I know there's some obvious ones, (Corvette Summer, Apollo 13, Rush Hour) but also, how about finding the ones just tucked away that most people would miss?
I'll start with a few...

one of my favorite movies is Boogie Nights. Dirk Diggler has a red C3 in it, though it's been discussed on here before the inconsistency/different models and changes in the scenes...
I've got the soundtrack and often blast "You've got the touch, you've got the pow-er!" (secret track) when I drive my red vette just for fun!

Technically this is not a movie but still a cool display of a C3.

Walking Tall the Final Chapter (1977), the true story of Sheriff Burford Pusser and his death in his newly purchased red 1974 corvette. The crash scene is at the end of the film.
Here is the actual car in the museum in his hometown.

Not a movie, but MGM did rent my '75 convertible to shoot the TV show "In the Heat of the Night" with Carroll O'Connor.
They had done a prior shoot using a '75 roadster in the South and needed to match it with a car in So. Calif. They actually put on a new top and painted the bumperettes from red to black while paying me rent on the car ($150/day).
When they were returning the car, they "dropped" it off the trailer and had to repair the front underside. They paid me $50/day rent while the car was being repaired. I actually caught the episode on VHS at random and still have it somewhere.
