Machines in MOVIES

[BONOVOX]

Hi all
I just watched one of my fav. movies of all time (Back to the Future) and never saw the VMC 81 Pepsi before!  It's in 3 scenes, where you see it all in 2 of them, and the a close up of just the top side, where you can't tell it's a 81 really. 

So that put a smile on my face.......

Was wondering if you all know of other movies that show our machines?

Maybe we can keep it to the RT's only, as I'm sure all movies of the 70's have the square tops. (sorry ST guys)

This topic bounced around few years back. Think Makito started it. Well worth a revisit.
Funniest movie sceen I recall is the Hanson Bros attacking a ST in "Slapshot".

I always spot various machines in the old Twilight Zone episodes.  More cigarette, slot, gum, and jukes.  Generics with no company logos.  I remember one episode when a guy was walking through a deserted town and he walked right buy an old Rowe gum machine.  I backed it up and showed my family, and they just thought I was a dork.

McHale's Navy that was an 81 re-embossed as "McHales Ale"

I just watched Oliver Stone's JFK and there is a Stoner candy machine in the background.

Also, if you pay close attention there are some machines in episodes of Mad Men.

Of course, at Bonovox already said....the VMC 81 at the Texaco Station in Back To the Future. My favorite movies scene of all time is when he goes into Hill Valley in 1955 and you see all that cool 50's stuff. I was a young kid at the time but one scene is what got me into antiques....mainly soda and gas memorabilia. Definitely my favorite movie of all time.

Good Post!!!

Speaking of movies, they say this 7up Machine "Comes out of Hollywood film studio, where it's been used in several movie productions. Been there for the last 38 years."   ....and these Sell restored for over $8,000

There is an V-81D (I think) near the Alamo scene in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
Also a 1971 Warren Oates hot rod movie called "Two Lane Black Top" has a few machines in it.
A Brooke Shields/Peter Fonda movie called "Wanda Nevada" has a V-44 visible early on in the movie in a gambling scene.
Some Hitchcock movies from the 60's has some machines in it - like "The Birds" - gas station fire with the cafe...
Twilight Zone & Three Stooges episodes both have lots of machines. There is a gas station scene with the Stooges and some visible pumps.
Perry Mason episodes have some vintage machines
It is fun to spot!
My wife does point out the Mad Men stuff to me when it is on.
